The remarkable rise of Bitcoin continues unabated, benefiting Strategy investment fund. Holding over $77 billion in Bitcoin, the US company boasts the world's largest BTC reserve, cementing its pioneering role in institutional cryptocurrency adoption.
Since 2020, Strategy has made the bold bet of investing massively in Bitcoin, becoming the first publicly-traded company to add the cryptocurrency to its balance sheet. Despite initial criticism, the decision now proves wise: the value of its Bitcoin portfolio has multiplied by more than 300 times since the first purchases.
Initially investing 250 million dollars, Strategy’s Bitcoin portfolio now reaches a record sum of 77.4 billion dollars. Holding 640,031 BTC, or 3% of the total supply, the company far outpaces its competitors in terms of cryptocurrency holdings. This position of strength gives it considerable influence in the ecosystem.
When Strategy made its first purchases in 2020, Bitcoin was priced around $11,600. The beginnings were difficult, with unrealized losses of $40 million in the following weeks. But the company remained confident and persevered with its strategy, now serving as a model for many companies.
According to Bitcoin Treasuries data, 199 publicly-traded companies have now invested in Bitcoin, collectively holding more than 1 million BTC, equivalent to over $124 billion. This is a strong sign of growing institutional interest in this asset class, despite its volatility.
With its impressive Bitcoin position, Strategy demonstrates that a long-term investment strategy in the leading cryptocurrency can prove extremely lucrative, despite initial challenges. This success story illustrates the rapid evolution of Bitcoin’s institutional adoption, which has become an essential asset for many companies.
