You Won’t Believe How Much Bitcoin Companies Now Hold, What % Of Supply Do They Control?

by

Oh, what a delightful little surprise! Bitcoin treasury companies have been gathering more BTC than a squirrel hoarding nuts before winter – and despite all the chaos in the market, they now control a rather impressive 5% of the total BTC supply. Who’s leading this merry band of digital coin collectors, you ask? None other than Michael Saylor’s Strategy and Metaplanet, who have bravely raised fresh capital to buy the dip. How charming! 🤑

Bitcoin Treasury Companies Now Hold Over 1 Million In BTC

The latest Bitcoin Treasuries data shows that the top 100 public Bitcoin treasury companies hold a staggering 1,058,929 BTC. All public companies combined are sitting pretty with 1,061,697 BTC. The biggest fish in the pond? Strategy, with 650,000 BTC – practically swimming in it! Michael Saylor’s company made a recent purchase of 130 BTC for the not-so-small sum of $11.7 million. Who said Bitcoin wasn’t a rich man’s playground? 💸

Following closely in the rearview mirror is BTC miner MARA holdings, with 53,250 BTC. And then there’s Tether-backed Twenty One Capital, Metaplanet, and Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company completing the top 5, each with impressive BTC amounts. Meanwhile, we have the usual suspects – Coinbase, Bullish, and even Trump Media making an appearance in the top 10. Quite the celebrity party, isn’t it? 😏

But don’t get too comfy, my dear friends. These public companies only account for a fraction of the total Bitcoin held in treasuries. According to further data from Bitcoin Treasuries, a whopping 4 million BTC is currently locked up in various treasuries, including those held by governments, private companies, exchanges, DeFi platforms, and even ETFs. Quite the digital treasure chest! 🏴‍☠️

Speaking of treasure, BlackRock has managed to position itself as the second-largest Bitcoin holder, right behind the elusive Satoshi Nakamoto. Strategy sits comfortably in third, while Binance and the U.S. government round out the top 5, holding BTC amounts that would make any serious collector blush. Together, these treasury companies control a staggering 19% of the total Bitcoin supply. That’s a whole lot of digital gold, if you ask me! 🏆

In a move that will surely make the Bitcoin world buzz, companies like Strategy and Metaplanet have raised new capital to capitalize on the recent market dip. Michael Saylor’s company managed to raise a dazzling $836 million from its STRE offering, which they promptly used to buy 8,178 BTC. Not to be outdone, Metaplanet raised $130 million to boost its own BTC treasury. Oh, the things people do to secure a bit of digital fortune! 💎

More Companies Set To Adopt Bitcoin

But wait, there’s more! As if things weren’t exciting enough, more Bitcoin treasury companies are on the horizon. Vanguard, the $10 trillion asset manager, is jumping on the bandwagon and offering Bitcoin ETFs starting today. And get this – some companies are gaining BTC exposure through these ETFs, bypassing the whole “actually buying Bitcoin” thing. Quite the shortcut, isn’t it? Oh, and let’s not forget the largest U.S. bank, JPMorgan, which is sitting pretty with a cool $300 million worth of BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF. A little bit of irony, perhaps? 😏

Meanwhile, not everything is roses and sunshine for companies like Strategy. With the market’s recent downward trend, they are feeling a bit of pressure. Strategy’s CEO, Phong Le, openly admitted that they might have to sell some Bitcoin to fund dividend payments if their mNAV drops below 1x and they can’t raise capital. Oh, the horror of having to part with a precious bit of Bitcoin! 😬

As of now, the Bitcoin price is hovering around $87,000, showing a nice little uptick in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. A little something to smile about, if you’re into that sort of thing. 🥂
