Strategy’s Bitcoin Value Skyrockets to $77.4B as BTC Hits $120K – Is This for Real?

by

Well, hold on to your hats, folks! Michael Saylor’s digital treasure chest, a.k.a. Strategy, has just achieved something absolutely bonkers. This crypto-fortress is now worth a jaw-dropping $77.4 billion. That’s right-more than some of the world’s biggest banks and a sum that’s basically the GDP of a whole bunch of countries. How did they do it? Magic? Nah, just a bit of *strategy* (see what I did there?) 🤑💰

“We started with a teeny-tiny $0.25 billion in Bitcoin,” said Saylor, pretending that starting with a quarter of a billion dollars isn’t a big deal. “Oh, and there was that $0.04 billion unrealized loss right off the bat.” Talk about a rollercoaster! 🎢 Fast forward to today, and Strategy’s Bitcoin stash is now worth a monstrous $77.4 billion. It’s practically double its value from last year. This is the stuff of legends-or at least Wall Street fairytales.

The surge comes as Bitcoin has clawed its way back up to $120,000. Now, let’s be clear, Bitcoin is still down 3% from its all-time high in mid-August, but Strategy’s latest triumph comes courtesy of buying 11,085 BTC in just the last seven weeks. That’s a lot of digital coins, people. And the latest addition? A modest 196 BTC on Monday. Just a small snack for their ever-growing collection 🍕.

In fact, Strategy’s Bitcoin stash now surpasses the market value of some huge banks, like BNY Mellon, Sberbank, US Bancorp, and even Barclays. Who needs a bank when you’ve got this much digital gold? 🏦💸

A Stash Bigger Than an Entire Nation’s GDP

Hold onto your wallets, because here comes the real kicker: Strategy’s Bitcoin vault is packed with a mind-blowing 640,031 BTC. That’s 3.2% of all the Bitcoin in existence, folks! To put it in perspective, the next big player, MARA Holdings, is sitting pretty with a measly 52,477 BTC, valued at around $6.3 billion. So, yeah, Strategy is kinda running the show here. 💪

And if you think that’s crazy, get this: with $77 billion worth of Bitcoin, you could go on a shopping spree and buy 2,566,667 cars at $30,000 each-or grab 385,000 houses at $200,000 a pop. Talk about living the dream! 🏠🚗

But wait, it gets even crazier. Strategy’s Bitcoin stash is *so big*, it’s actually comparable to the GDP of entire countries like Uruguay, Sri Lanka, and Slovenia. Yep, you could buy a country with all that digital dough. 🌎💸

El Salvador’s Bitcoin Holdings: Almost a Record-Breaker

Meanwhile, El Salvador’s Bitcoin treasury is playing catch-up. The little country that could is holding a respectable 6,338 BTC, worth about $762.5 million. That’s just shy of its all-time high from mid-August when it briefly flirted with the $770 million mark. But hey, El Salvador’s been collecting at a much slower pace-one BTC a day, to be exact. So is it buying more Bitcoin? Well, that’s still a mystery… Cryptic much? 🤔

Strategy Holds Almost Half of All BTC Held by Companies

And now, for the cherry on top: Strategy owns a staggering 48% of all the Bitcoin held by public and private companies combined. That’s 1.32 million BTC, or 6.6% of the total supply, valued at about $159 billion. In short, if Bitcoin were a party, Strategy would be the life of it, tossing out coins like confetti. 🎉
