Strategy’s Crypto Holdings Dwarf Other Corporate Investors
The value of Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings places it well ahead of other publicly traded companies that invest in the cryptocurrency. According to figures from Bitcoin Treasuries, Strategy currently owns 505,955 more BTC than runner-up Marathon Digital and 522,055 more than third-placer Twenty One Capital.
Strategy has invested nearly $38 billion in total on its crypto purchases. With the value of their holdings standing at over $50 billion currently, the firm has an unrealized profit of $14 billion. This profit is on paper alone until the company sells some of its holdings.
End-Of-Month Buying Pattern Emerges
A cryptocurrency expert known as J.A. Maartunn of CryptoQuant pointed out Strategy’s habit of making its biggest buys at the end of the month. The firm acquired 20,365 Bitcoin ($1.99 billion) in late February and 22,048 Bitcoin ($1.92 billion) in late March, with this latest April buy following the same trend.
Between these huge end-of-month purchases, Strategy’s purchases were never more than 7,000 BTC, validating the analyst’s comment on the company’s purchasing behavior. This trend implies the company could keep making substantial purchases in subsequent months.
