Bitcoin Soars to $64.28B Holdings as Relentless Buying Strategy Pays Off

Wall Street's latest addiction? Bitcoin. Institutional holdings just smashed the $64 billion mark—and the buying frenzy isn't slowing down.

Why the feeding continues

Funds keep stacking sats like there's no tomorrow, betting against every 'bubble' warning from tie-wearing economists. Meanwhile, traditional portfolios bleed from 20th-century thinking.

The cynical take

Somewhere in Manhattan, a hedge fund manager is still explaining why gold is 'safer'—while his clients miss another 200% crypto rally. The smart money? It's already on-chain.

• Bitcoin holdings by Strategy, co-founded by Michael Saylor, have reached $64.28 billion with 592,345 BTC after 11 consecutive weeks of buying.
• Strategy’s BTC stash now represents over 2.8% of all BTC in circulation, raising concerns about market liquidity and potential supply shocks.
• Strategy is predicted to join the S&P 500 by Q2 2025, signaling growing institutional acceptance of Bitcoin on corporate balance sheets.

Bitcoin continues to make headlines as Strategy, the firm co-founded by outspoken Bitcoin advocate Michael Saylor, marks its 11th consecutive week of BTC acquisitions. Since April 14, the company has pursued an aggressive purchasing strategy, strengthening its position as the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder.

Saylor, known for his unwavering bullish stance on BTC, echoed his long-term vision in a recent post to his 4.4 million followers on X (formerly Twitter): “In 21 years, you’ll wish you’d bought more.”

This bold statement not only reinforced his belief in Bitcoin’s future value but also underscored the philosophy behind Strategy’s continuous accumulation, even during market uncertainty.

On June 23, Strategy added another 245 BTC to its balance sheet, spending $26 million and bringing its total holdings to a staggering 592,345 BTC valued at over $63.6 billion at current market prices.

The company’s BTC holdings now more than double the combined holdings of the next 20 largest public bitcoin treasury firms, according to data from BitcoinTreasuries. This aggressive strategy has sparked both admiration and concern across the crypto and traditional finance sectors.

Strategy’s 2.8% Bitcoin Stake Raises Market Impact Concerns

Market analysts are increasingly debating whether Strategy’s relentless accumulation could lead to a BTC supply shock, potentially driving prices higher as available supply dwindles. With Bitcoin’s fixed supply capped at 21 million, the massive corporate stockpile now representing over 2.8% of all BTC in circulation significantly impacts market liquidity.

Some experts argue that such concentrated ownership could eventually introduce volatility, especially if Strategy were to offload assets during a downturn. Others believe the long-term holding strategy supports market stability and promotes institutional confidence in BTC.

While Strategy’s model is being emulated by a growing number of firms, not everyone is convinced it’s sustainable. A recent report from venture capital firm Breed warns that smaller firms mimicking Strategy’s BTC treasury model, often leveraging debt and equity to fund purchases, may face serious consequences if BTC enters another prolonged bear market.

“Only a handful of these treasury companies will survive the next crash,” the report states. “When failures inevitably hit, the strongest players are likely to acquire distressed companies and consolidate the industry.”

Breed’s analysis highlights Strategy’s unique position: it survived the previous market downturn and continued accumulating BTC throughout, demonstrating discipline that could become a benchmark for others. The report notes that new entrants face tougher capital-raising conditions, higher leverage risks, and less resilience to price volatility.

Strategy Nears S&P 500, Bitcoin Gains Corporate Edge

Adding to the optimism, investor and market analyst Jeff Walton recently predicted that Strategy has a 91% chance of joining the S&P 500 index by Q2 2025. Inclusion in the benchmark U.S. index WOULD mark a milestone achievement, offering broader institutional exposure and further legitimizing Bitcoin’s role in corporate finance.

With its eyes on long-term dominance and a track record of strategic accumulation, Strategy continues to redefine what corporate BTC adoption can look like. While the debate around sustainability and systemic impact intensifies, one thing is certain: BTC’s role on corporate balance sheets is no longer a fringe phenomenon; it’s becoming a defining trend.
