Bitcoin corporate treasury nears $80B milestone
Strategy’s Bitcoin Corporate Treasury Growth Nears $80B
Strategy’s Bitcoin corporate treasury growth is closing in on the levels of major tech firms like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft. The company’s Bitcoin holdings, valued at nearly $80 billion, now stand among the largest corporate treasuries worldwide.
On Tuesday, Strategy shared that its 640,031 Bitcoin stash briefly exceeded $80 billion as Bitcoin hit a record $126,080. This rise put Strategy’s Bitcoin treasury close to Amazon, Google, and Microsoft, which each hold between $97 billion and $95 billion in cash and equivalents.
Strategy’s consistent Bitcoin purchases and the cryptocurrency’s price surge have already pushed its treasury value beyond that of Nvidia, Apple, and Meta. Earlier this year, Meta shareholders rejected a proposal to consider Bitcoin as a treasury asset.
Berkshire Hathaway remains the global leader in cash reserves with around $344 billion. Tesla also appears on the list of top 10 treasuries, holding 11,509 BTC valued at about $1.4 billion, making up a small fraction of its $37 billion balance.
Bitcoin Seen as a Hedge Against Currency Debasement
Analysts from JPMorgan recently described Bitcoin and gold as a “debasement trade,” suggesting both could hedge against rising U.S. inflation and the country’s growing $38 trillion debt.
BlackRock CEO Larry Fink echoed similar concerns earlier this year, predicting Bitcoin could reach $700,000 amid fears of global currency debasement.
Microsoft and Meta both received shareholder proposals advocating for Bitcoin adoption from the National Center for Public Policy Research’s deputy director Ethan Peck. He argued Bitcoin would preserve corporate value better than cash in an inflationary environment.
Peck noted that “since cash is being debased and bond yields trail true inflation, a large portion of Meta’s assets lose value annually.”
Microsoft and Meta Missed Major Bitcoin Gains
Microsoft shareholders rejected the Bitcoin proposal when the cryptocurrency traded at $97,170, while Meta dismissed it at $104,800. Since then, both companies missed out on significant gains as Bitcoin surged.
Concerns over Bitcoin’s volatility influenced Microsoft’s decision to vote against the plan. Peck, who also leads Bitcoin strategy at Strive, had suggested allocating 1% to 5% of Microsoft’s treasury to Bitcoin.
Amazon also received a similar proposal in December 2024, but discussions have made little progress since.
Corporate Bitcoin Holdings Surge in 2025
Despite rejections from some major tech firms, corporate Bitcoin adoption has risen sharply in 2025. Over 200 public companies now hold Bitcoin, more than double the number at the start of the year.
With Bitcoin trading close to its record high, nearly all of these firms have seen profits from their holdings. Strategy purchased its 640,031 BTC at an average price of $73,981, resulting in a 65% gain – equivalent to $30.4 billion in profit.
