Michael Saylor, the firm’s founder, highlighted the growth in Strategy’s reserves, recalling the early days of its Bitcoin bet.
“Our journey began with $0.25 billion in Bitcoin — and an immediate $0.04 billion unrealized loss,” Saylor said, noting that holdings have since grown to 640,031 BTC, or about 3.2% of Bitcoin’s total circulating supply.

In the past seven weeks alone, Strategy added 11,085 BTC, with its most recent purchase of 196 BTC recorded earlier this week.
Outpacing global banks and rivaling economies
The size of Strategy’s Bitcoin treasury is now greater than the market capitalization of financial giants including BNY Mellon, Deutsche Bank, ING, Barclays, and Lloyds. At $77 billion, its value is comparable to the GDP of nations such as Uruguay, Sri Lanka, and Slovenia.
Analysts suggest this reinforces Bitcoin’s role as a strategic reserve asset rather than just a speculative investment.
“When a single corporate treasury controls nearly half of all Bitcoin held by public and private firms, it demonstrates a fundamental shift in global finance,” said one market strategist.
Corporate dominance in Bitcoin treasuries
According to industry data, public and private companies currently hold around 1.32 million BTC worth $159 billion. Of that, Strategy alone accounts for 48%, making it the clear leader among digital asset treasuries.
By comparison, the largest nation-state holder, El Salvador, owns just over 6,338 BTC, worth about $762 million—a fraction of Strategy’s holdings.
The sheer scale of Strategy’s Bitcoin reserves underscores a new era of corporate balance sheets, where digital assets compete with traditional reserves like cash and gold. As Bitcoin continues to gain acceptance, experts believe other firms may follow Strategy’s lead, though none currently come close to its dominance.
