Michael Saylor and his digital asset management company Strategy have marked a historic milestone: their Bitcoin treasury has reached $77.4 billion, representing 640,031 BTC — equal to 3.2% of the total circulating supply.
Bigger Than Banks, Rivaling National GDPs
This massive Bitcoin hoard now exceeds the market capitalizations of major banks including BNY Mellon, ING, Barclays, and Deutsche Bank. Beyond that, Strategy's digital asset holdings are comparable in value to the GDPs of countries such as Uruguay, Sri Lanka, and Slovenia.
A Relentless Accumulation Strategy
Over the past seven weeks, Strategy has added another 11,085 BTC, including a most recent purchase of 196 BTC earlier this week. At this pace, Strategy now holds 48% of all Bitcoin held by publicly listed and private companies worldwide.
El Salvador — First Mover, but Far Smaller in Scale
By comparison, El Salvador — the first country to recognize Bitcoin as legal tender — currently holds approximately 6,338 BTC (worth around $762 million), a fraction of what sits in Strategy's treasury.
A Big Bet Paying Off
Michael Saylor's massive Bitcoin accumulation strategy — which started with just $250 million in 2020 — has turned Strategy into the number-one Bitcoin whale in the market. With Bitcoin recovering to $120,000, this once-audacious bet is now delivering outsized returns and continues to cement Saylor's reputation as one of the boldest Bitcoin investors in the world.
