Is MicroStrategy currently the largest holder of Bitcoin?
—— No, Satoshi Nakamoto is
Satoshi Nakamoto's public account currently holds 1.096 million BTC, with a total value of 11.22 billion USD, while MicroStrategy's BTC holdings amount to 580,000 BTC (6.02 billion USD). To become the 'largest player in Bitcoin', they would need to buy nearly double that amount, haha🤣
Since August 2020, MicroStrategy has announced that it will use Bitcoin as its primary financial reserve asset, becoming the world's first publicly traded company to hold Bitcoin. As of now, the BTC acquisition cost is $70,023, with an unrealized profit exceeding 19.1 billion USD, and the stock price has surged sevenfold over 24 years, perfectly illustrating what it means to say 'choosing is more important than effort'.
However, MicroStrategy is indeed the world's largest corporate Bitcoin holder.
In this cycle, BTC stands out, and more and more publicly traded companies are becoming buyers of Bitcoin. Apart from MicroStrategy, Tesla and Metaplanet are also frequently mentioned as 'major buyers'; the market always pays extra attention to the holding costs of large whales, and as corporate whales, their holding costs may serve as a more meaningful reference point 💡
The newly released BTC Treasuries Dashboard from SosoValue can help you quickly understand the detailed situation of publicly traded companies holding Bitcoin. Currently, 14 publicly traded companies have cumulatively purchased 637,000 BTC, with a total value of 6.61 billion USD. Here are some highlighted data points:
🔸 Company Distribution: Among the 14 companies, 10 are listed in the United States, accounting for 71.4%, followed by 3 in Japan.
🔹 Holding Volume: MicroStrategy holds 50.47 times more BTC than Tesla, which ranks second among corporate holders.
🔸 Holding Cost: Among the companies that have disclosed BTC holding costs, Nano Labs Ltd has the highest cost at $99,500, while the lowest is Block at $30,405.
🔹 Latest Purchase: MicroStrategy announced the acquisition of 705 BTC on June 2, 2025.
The current price of BTC is $103,792, meaning all publicly traded companies that have purchased BTC are currently in a state of unrealized profit.
The most discussed question lately is 'Is this price increase a rebound or a reversal?'. When in doubt, it might be better to refer to the operations of these 'Big Size whales', haha; here's the link to SosoValue's dashboard 👉 https://t.co/olbR5K9uJD (BTW: SosoValue has already reached the third quarter for staking. I shared about the first quarter before. If you find the exchange returns low and feel that DeFi operations are complex, you might want to see if there's a suitable SSI for yourself; it's another option.)
