Strategy’s $77B Bitcoin Treasury Rivals Nations' GDP

Strategy, led by Michael Saylor, has reached a record Bitcoin valuation of $77.4 billion, surpassing several major banks and rivaling the GDP of various nations. Initially starting with $0.25 billion, Strategy now holds 640,031 BTC, about 3.2% of the total supply. The rise to its current valuation coincides with Bitcoin's return to a price of $120,000. Although Bitcoin remains 3% lower than its mid-August all-time high, Strategy's Bitcoin treasury has nearly doubled in value from 2024. Currently, its holdings exceed those of BNY Mellon, Sberbank, and numerous other financial institutions, marking it as a significant player in the Bitcoin space. Interestingly, with $77 billion worth of Bitcoin, purchases worth millions of dollars can be realized, such as buying over 2.5 million cars or 385,000 houses. In comparison, El Salvador holds approximately $762.5 million in Bitcoin, still lower than its previous peak. Strategy now possesses nearly half of the BTC held by public and private companies, standing at 1.32 million BTC in total within the industry, demonstrating its dominance in the market.
