Corporate holders of Bitcoin are beginning to take sharply different approaches as the asset remains under pressure, falling about 46% from its peak to below $70,000. Some firms continue treating Bitcoin as a long term reserve asset while others are reducing exposure to protect liquidity and balance sheets.
Nakamoto Holdings moved to sell approximately 284 BTC in March at around $70,400 per coin, totaling roughly $20 million. The sale occurred below its average purchase price, converting unrealized losses into realized ones. The company reduced its holdings to just over 5,000 BTC, using proceeds for working capital and merger-related investments. It also sold millions of shares in Metaplanet at a loss, signaling broader balance-sheet restructuring.
Strategy Maintains Holdings While Pausing New Purchases
Meanwhile, Strategy, led by Michael Saylor, paused new Bitcoin purchases after months of steady accumulation. Despite the halt, the company still holds roughly 762,000 BTC, maintaining its position as the largest corporate holder of the asset.
Bitcoin-Backed Bonds and Market Expansion Efforts
A proposed $100 million Bitcoin backed municipal bond in New Hampshire received a Ba2 speculative-grade rating from Moody’s, reflecting the risks tied to Bitcoin’s volatility. At the same time, digital asset manager CoinShares entered the Nasdaq following a merger with Vine Hill Capital, highlighting continued institutional expansion despite shifting market conditions.
