Public companies now collectively hold nearly 700,000 BTC, according to data compiled by Bitcoin Treasuries.
At today’s prices, that’s over $45 billion worth of digital gold. Leading the pack is MicroStrategy (MSTR), which owns a jaw-dropping 77% of that total. This cements its role as the biggest institutional Bitcoin holder in the world.
MicroStrategy’s Bold Bet on Bitcoin
MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin journey started in August 2020, when the company made headlines by announcing it would adopt BTC as its primary reserve asset. Since then, it has continuously added to its holdings. As of its latest filing, MicroStrategy owns 214,400 BTC, valued at over $13 billion, acquired at an average price of about $35,000 per coin.
Led by Bitcoin evangelist and chairman Michael Saylor, the firm has made Bitcoin central to its corporate identity. “We view Bitcoin as the most reliable store of value in a world of economic uncertainty,” Saylor has said in multiple interviews.

This growing trend reflects a shift in how corporations view crypto. Not just as a speculative asset, but as a treasury reserve capable of outpacing inflation and diversifying risk. As the landscape matures, more companies are signaling that Bitcoin isn’t just for the fringe. It’s part of the financial future.
