2-8-2025 – Strategy, the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, aims to amass up to 1.5 million BTC, potentially worth over $100 billion, according to Executive Chairman Michael Saylor in a CNBC interview. The company, currently holds 628,791 BTC, roughly 3% of Bitcoin’s total supply.
Saylor described Bitcoin as “digital capital” central to Strategy’s model, which pairs Bitcoin accumulation with issuing preferred stock to reduce investor volatility and generate yield. A recent stock offering, initially set at $500 million, surged to $2.5 billion due to strong demand, marking 2025’s largest public offering. Strategy’s earnings also soared, hitting $32.52 per share, far exceeding forecasts of a $0.09 loss, signaling the success of its Bitcoin-centric approach.
Meanwhile, the global Bitcoin treasury trend is growing, with 160 public companies, including Japan’s MetaPlanet and US-based Capital B, now holding BTC, up from 60 last year. Other institutions are following suit. Coinbase added 2,509 BTC in Q2, entering the top 10 public company Bitcoin holders, surpassing Tesla, while MetaPlanet plans to raise $3.73 billion to acquire 210,000 BTC by 2027.
Saylor noted that firms like Apple and Microsoft, restricted from buying each other’s stock, are increasingly turning to Bitcoin as an alternative to share buybacks or traditional assets like real estate and gold.
