Recent data reveals that 163 publicly listed companies worldwide have collectively held 955,000 bitcoins, accounting for 4.55% of the total circulating bitcoin supply. This astonishing figure not only surpasses the combined gold reserves of the world's two largest gold mining companies, but also marks a significant leap for cryptocurrencies from marginal innovation to a core allocation on institutional balance sheets.
This wave of institutional bitcoin accumulation is reshaping the cryptocurrency market landscape. Among them, MicroStrategy leads the world with an astonishing holding of 628,000 bitcoins, and its market capitalization has surpassed the total of the top gold mining companies, Newmont and Barrick. The company’s CEO, Michael Saylor, has continuously increased holdings through convertible bond financing, firmly optimistic about bitcoin's position in the digital age.
It is noteworthy that this accumulation trend has spread to 12 different industries. From tech giants to traditional energy companies, from financial investment groups to healthcare enterprises, various sectors are actively positioning themselves with bitcoin. For example, the Hong Kong-listed company Boyaa Interactive, with a holding of 2,641 bitcoins, saw a single-day floating profit exceeding $100 million, driving its stock price to surge 300% within the year. Meanwhile, the Japanese listed company Metaplanet has also increased its bitcoin holdings for five consecutive weeks, with total holdings exceeding 16,000 bitcoins.
This trend reflects the growing confidence of institutional investors in bitcoin as a digital asset. As more listed companies incorporate bitcoin into their balance sheets, we may witness a new growth cycle in the cryptocurrency market. However, investors still need to be cautious of market volatility risks and carefully assess their own risk tolerance.
In this race for institutional capital, retail investors should also remain rational, keep an eye on market trends, and seize investment opportunities in a timely manner. In the future, as the regulatory environment improves and the market further matures, bitcoin's status as a new asset class may gain wider recognition.
