Bitcoin News Today: Bitcoin's Corporate Custodians Now Hold 1 Million Coins

MicroStrategy, now rebranded as Strategy, has continued its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy, recently purchasing 4,048 Bitcoin for $449.3 million, averaging $110,981 per coin. This acquisition, made between August 26 and September 1, has raised the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to 636,505 BTC, valued at $46.95 billion, or $73,765 per Bitcoin. The company also reported a year-to-date Bitcoin yield of 25.7%, underscoring the scale and success of its treasury strategy [4]. The purchase was funded through the sale of preferred and common stock, with $471.8 million in net proceeds generated from the offering [4]. Despite market volatility, Strategy’s Bitcoin dashboard reaffirms the company’s commitment to its long-term strategy.

The purchase reinforces Strategy’s position as the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin globally, with its holdings representing approximately 3% of the total Bitcoin supply. This accumulation strategy has been mirrored by other corporate and institutional investors. For instance, Metaplanet, often referred to as “Japan's MicroStrategy,” raised $884 million and added 1,009 BTC to its portfolio, bringing its total holdings to 20,000 BTC [4]. Other notable holders include Tesla, which controls 11,509 BTC, and CleanSpark, a Bitcoin miner with 12,608 BTC valued at $1.45 billion [4]. These developments reflect a growing trend among corporations across diverse sectors to allocate significant portions of their treasuries to Bitcoin.

The week of September 1 to September 6 marked a milestone for corporate Bitcoin treasury strategies, as total holdings surpassed 1 million BTC. Companies announced nearly 9,800 BTC in fresh allocations, valued at close to $1 billion at current prices. The activity included three new treasuries being launched and 24 companies adding a combined 8,339 BTC. Emerging corporate players, such as Hyperscale Data and the Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company, joined the movement with new positions ranging from 3.6 BTC to 30,021 BTC. The supply dynamics are particularly compelling given Bitcoin’s capped supply of 21 million coins, with only 5.2% mined to date. Companies like Metaplanet and Semler Scientific are pursuing aggressive accumulation strategies to further exert upward pressure on the supply side [3].

Bitcoin’s price has remained resilient above the $111,000 threshold, despite a broader market correction. Public corporations now own over 1 million BTC, representing 5.1% of the total supply. Strategy leads the pack with 636,505 BTC, or about two-thirds of corporate holdings. The company’s strategy, initiated in 2020, has influenced 184 publicly traded companies to adopt similar approaches. Even during the 2022 bear market, when Bitcoin fell to $15,740, Strategy maintained its course, a move that has since proven prescient [5]. Emerging players, including Jack Mallers’ XXI and Bullish, have also made significant contributions, with holdings of 43,514 BTC and 24,000 BTC, respectively.

Looking ahead, the broader macroeconomic environment is expected to play a pivotal role in Bitcoin’s price trajectory. The US jobs report due on Friday could provide critical insight into the Federal Reserve’s next move. The ADP private hiring report showed weaker-than-expected job gains, and the CME Group’s FedWatch tool indicates a 97.6% chance of a 25 basis point rate cut in September. If realized, this could serve as a bullish catalyst for Bitcoin. Technically, the cryptocurrency remains in a range-bound pattern between $109,000 and $113,000. A break above $112,000 could signal a shift in sentiment, potentially leading to a move above $124,450, the previous all-time high [5]. The convergence of corporate treasury adoption, monetary policy shifts, and limited supply dynamics suggests a positive outlook for Bitcoin in the medium term.
