Michael Saylor’s digital asset treasury firm, Strategy, has achieved a new milestone as its bitcoin holdings soared to a record valuation of $77.4 billion, following bitcoin’s return to the $120,000 price level.

“Our journey began with $0.25 billion in Bitcoin — and an immediate $0.04 billion unrealized loss,” Saylor stated on Thursday, highlighting that the company has nearly doubled its bitcoin value during 2024.

Growth in bitcoin accumulation

Strategy’s new record comes after acquiring 11,085 BTC over the past seven weeks, including a recent purchase of 196 BTC.

The firm currently controls 640,031 BTC, representing 3.2% of the total circulating supply.

Its bitcoin position alone now exceeds the market capitalization of multiple international banks such as BNY Mellon, Deutsche Bank, and Barclays.

Comparison to national GDPs and other holders

With its $77.4 billion bitcoin reserve, Strategy’s stash rivals the annual economic output of entire nations, including Uruguay and Slovenia.

The next largest digital asset treasury, Marathon Digital Holdings, possesses 52,477 BTC, valued at roughly $6.3 billion.

El Salvador and global corporate bitcoin reserves

El Salvador remains the largest nation-state holder, with an estimated 6,338 BTC worth $762.5 million, slightly below its previous all-time high.

The country’s accumulation pace has slowed, averaging about one BTC per day. For more details, see El Salvador’s current and historical BTC holdings.

Nearly half of all treasury bitcoin held by Strategy

According to Bitbo’s database of all public and private bitcoin treasuries, companies and funds collectively hold around 1.32 million BTC, or 6.6% of the total supply.

Strategy alone controls 48% of this total, making it the dominant force among digital asset treasuries.
