The company Strategy, which manages corporate reserves in bitcoin (BTC), is purchasing the cryptocurrency at a rate that exceeds the current pace of mining issuance. According to the CEO of CryptoQuant and market analyst Ki Young Ju, this causes bitcoin as an asset to exhibit an annual deflationary rate of -2.33%.

Their 555,000 BTC is illiquid and there are no plans for its sale, Ju stated in a post on X on May 10.

Michael Saylor, co-founder of Strategy, is a vocal advocate for bitcoin and has long promoted this digital currency as a scarce asset. His stance has inspired hundreds of companies to adopt the "Bitcoin Treasury Strategy" – a model where companies hold BTC as part of their reserves.
