Strategy, a company led by Michael Saylor, holds over 568,000 Bitcoin (BTC), valued at approximately $59 billion, making it the largest corporate Bitcoin holder globally. The firm raised $12 billion in just 50 days during late 2024 to bolster its Bitcoin reserves. Strategy recently announced an ambitious plan to raise $84 billion through equity and debt offerings to acquire even more Bitcoin, signaling strong confidence in the cryptocurrency’s long-term value.
Currently ranked as the 151st largest public company with a market capitalization of $117 billion, Strategy's aggressive accumulation tactics have attracted global attention. Analyst Jeff Walton forecasts that continued Bitcoin accumulation could propel Strategy to surpass Microsoft, which holds a market value exceeding $3.3 trillion, to become the world's top public stock.
Saylor envisions a long-term growth pathway for Strategy from a $100 billion to a potential multi-trillion-dollar enterprise, attributing this to the firm’s unparalleled Bitcoin exposure. The company’s use of both equity issuance and expanded debt capacity supports its strategy of leveraging traditional finance tools to strengthen Bitcoin holdings.
Other public companies are also increasing Bitcoin allocations, reflecting a broader institutional adoption trend. For instance, Metaplanet recently acquired an additional 1,241 BTC, raising its total to nearly 6,800 BTC, while GD Culture Group Limited plans to raise $300 million for Bitcoin and Trump Coin (TRUMP) purchases despite facing Nasdaq delisting risks.
The collective Bitcoin holdings of publicly listed companies grew by 16.1% in Q1 2025, underlining sustained corporate confidence in Bitcoin as a balance sheet asset amid ongoing market volatility.
