Michael Saylor’s firm, Strategy Inc., which manages a large corporate Bitcoin treasury, has reached a new milestone, with its digital assets now valued higher than many top banks and rivaling the GDP of entire countries.
“Our journey started with $250 million in Bitcoin, and initially, we faced an unrealized loss of $40 million,” Saylor said on Thursday, highlighting that Strategy’s Bitcoin portfolio has surged to $77.4 billion, nearly double its value from 2024.
This surge coincides with Bitcoin’s return to the $120,000 range. Even though BTC remains about 3% below its all-time high in mid-August, Strategy’s valuation spike reflects the company’s recent acquisitions, which added 11,085 BTC over the past seven weeks. Its latest buy was a modest 196 BTC earlier this week.
Strategy’s Bitcoin stash now exceeds the market capitalization of multiple global banks, including BNY Mellon, Sberbank, US Bancorp, CIBC, ING, Barclays, Deutsche Bank, ANZ, and Lloyds.
A Bitcoin Hoard Larger Than Some Countries’ Economies
Strategy holds 640,031 BTC, representing 3.2% of Bitcoin’s total supply. The second-largest corporate Bitcoin treasury, MARA Holdings, holds 52,477 BTC, worth around $6.3 billion.
With $77 billion tied up in Bitcoin, the company could theoretically buy over 2.5 million cars at $30,000 each or 385,000 houses priced at $200,000. Its holdings are on par with the GDP of nations such as Uruguay, Sri Lanka, and Slovenia, demonstrating the sheer scale of Strategy’s digital assets.
El Salvador’s Bitcoin Reserve Nears All-Time High
El Salvador holds the largest government Bitcoin treasury, with 6,338 BTC valued at roughly $762.5 million, slightly below its all-time high of nearly $770 million in mid-August. The country has been accumulating slowly, reportedly at about one BTC per day, though the pace of buying remains debated in crypto circles.
Strategy Commands Nearly Half of All Corporate Bitcoin Holdings
Public and private companies collectively hold 1.32 million BTC, or 6.6% of the total supply, worth approximately $159 billion, according to BitcoinTreasuries.NET. Strategy alone controls nearly 48% of this total, making it by far the largest corporate Bitcoin holder in the market.
