Strategy (MSTR) Accounts for 77% of ~700K Bitcoin Held by Public Companies

• Public companies now hold 700K BTC as of Q1 2025.
• MicroStrategy controls 77% of all BTC held by corporations.
• Japan’s Metaplanet sees 119% YTD return on its Bitcoin holdings.

Bitcoin is steadily gaining prominence as a corporate asset, with public companies now holding nearly 700,000 BTC. Strategy (MSTR) (formerly MicroStrategy) leads this group with a dominant 77% of that share.

According to data compiled by Bitwise Asset Management, corporate BTC holdings have risen from virtually zero in 2019 to staggering levels in 2025. Experts believe Strategy’s aggressive BTC acquisition strategy, often debt-financed BTC buying, has set a precedent for firms seeking hedges against fiat debasement and inflation. Strategy is the world’s first/largest Bitcoin Treasury Company.

Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor revealed over 13,000 institutions and 814,000 retail accounts directly hold MSTR shares, while 55 million more have indirect exposure via ETFs, mutual funds, pensions, and insurance vehicles.
