Strategy’s bold Bitcoin accumulation is paying off. The firm’s Bitcoin holdings briefly surged past $80 billion this week, rivaling the massive cash reserves of global tech leaders like Microsoft, Amazon, and Google. As Bitcoin hit a record $126,080, Strategy’s 640,031 BTC stash positioned the company among the world’s most valuable corporate treasuries.

Bitcoin Vault Rivals Microsoft, Amazon, and Google
With its Bitcoin treasury now worth nearly as much as the $95–$97 billion cash positions of Big Tech, Strategy’s approach is reshaping how corporations view digital assets. Unlike Microsoft and Meta, which rejected shareholder proposals to explore Bitcoin adoption, Strategy has steadily increased its holdings. Its consistent purchases and Bitcoin’s sharp rally have already pushed its treasury value above Nvidia, Apple, and Meta’s.
Berkshire Hathaway remains the leader with roughly $344 billion in cash, while Tesla — holding 11,509 BTC worth about $1.4 billion — is the only other Bitcoin-owning firm among the world’s top corporate treasuries.
Bitcoin as a “Debasement Trade”
Analysts at JPMorgan recently described Bitcoin and gold as the ultimate “debasement trades,” hedges against inflation and U.S. debt, which has now ballooned to nearly $38 trillion.
BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, once a skeptic, echoed this sentiment earlier this year, suggesting Bitcoin could reach $700,000 amid growing fears of currency debasement.
Ethan Peck of the National Center for Public Policy Research argued that companies like Microsoft and Meta are losing shareholder value by holding depreciating cash instead of Bitcoin. Yet, both firms dismissed his proposals — when Bitcoin traded below $105,000 — missing out on significant gains.

Corporate Bitcoin Adoption Surges in 2025
Despite Big Tech’s reluctance, corporate Bitcoin adoption has accelerated dramatically. More than 200 public companies now hold Bitcoin, up from fewer than 100 at the start of the year.
Strategy alone has earned a 65% return on its $73,981 average purchase price — a $30.4 billion unrealized gain — solidifying its role as the corporate face of Bitcoin conviction.
Strategy’s treasury milestone highlights a growing divide: while traditional giants cling to cash, a new class of corporate innovators is betting on Bitcoin as the future of value storage. If current trends persist, Strategy’s Bitcoin bet may soon redefine what it means to have a “strong balance sheet.”
