Bitcoin News Today: Bitcoin Corporate Adoption Surges as Saylor Defends Market Dominance at 60.18%

Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy, remains firmly confident in Bitcoin’s dominance, showing little concern over the growing traction of Ethereum-based treasury strategies. Speaking on Bloomberg Television, Saylor emphasized that Bitcoin is the premier digital asset and that its adoption by corporations is accelerating. He highlighted that over the past six months, the number of public companies holding Bitcoin has surged from approximately 60 to 160, reinforcing his view that the asset is becoming a standard in corporate balance sheet management [1].

Despite increased institutional interest in Ether, Saylor expressed optimism that Bitcoin remains the primary destination for capital inflows in the crypto space. He noted that Bitcoin’s market dominance currently stands at 60.18%, underscoring its continued lead over other cryptocurrencies [1]. Saylor also reiterated his belief that Bitcoin will outperform the S&P 500 over the long term, describing it as “digital capital” and a hedge against inflation [1].

Saylor’s comments come as Ethereum treasury adoption gains momentum. Recent data shows that the market value of public companies holding Ether has reached $11.77 billion, led by firms such as BitMine Immersion Technologies and SharpLink Gaming. BitMine alone holds 833,100 ETH, valued at $3.2 billion, making it the fourth-largest holder among public entities with digital assets [1]. SharpLink and The Ether Machine also hold significant amounts, at $2 billion and $1.34 billion worth of ETH, respectively [1].

While Saylor acknowledges the rise of Ethereum as a viable option for treasury diversification, he remains unwavering in his Bitcoin-centric strategy. MicroStrategy, under his leadership, continues to amass Bitcoin, with its holdings now valued at approximately $74.15 billion, according to data from BitcoinTreasuries.NET [1]. This positions the firm as the largest public Bitcoin holder by a considerable margin, far ahead of the second-largest, MARA Holdings, which holds about 50,639 BTC.

Saylor’s confidence in Bitcoin is not without challenge. Alternative strategies, such as those pursued by ETHZilla, are gaining attention, with the firm recently committing $425 million to acquire Ether. These approaches often focus on yield generation and smart contract-based tools, diverging from Saylor’s more conservative and long-term Bitcoin model [1]. Yet, despite such competition, Saylor remains focused on Bitcoin’s fundamentals—its scarcity, security, and increasing acceptance in corporate finance.

The broader crypto market has also shown resilience, with Bitcoin briefly reaching a record high of $123,100 in early July before retreating to $118,035. Meanwhile, Ethereum has gained 23% over the past 30 days, fueled by analysts’ forecasts of a recovery and rising institutional interest. However, Saylor’s comments suggest that, for him, Bitcoin remains the clear leader in the evolving digital asset landscape.
