Kicking off the week, Michael Saylor, Strategy’s founder and executive chairman, announced the firm’s acquisition of 22,048 BTC, propelling its total holdings to 528,185 BTC—valued at $44.27 billion based on current exchange rates at 12:30 p.m. Eastern Time on March 31.
After the latest purchase, Strategy holds 528,185 BTC, which is 47,671.02 BTC less than IBIT’s stash.
When excluding cryptocurrency exchanges, Strategy now trails only Blackrock’s IBIT in corporate BTC holdings, with the latter maintaining 575,856.02 BTC (equivalent to $48.27 billion). To eclipse IBIT, Strategy would need to secure an additional 47,671.02 BTC—valued at $3.99 billion.
While Strategy can outpace the ETF, the fund operates daily (on weekdays) with inflows and occasional outflows. Strategy’s BTC reserves remain static, precluding outflows, whereas IBIT can accumulate additional holdings on weekdays when demand arises, potentially elevating its reserves.
Following IBIT, Fidelity’s FBTC ETF holds 196,932.78 BTC, valued at $16.5 billion. Grayscale’s GBTC follows closely, retaining 193,466.08 BTC, valued at $16.21 billion today. Excluding ETFs, Strategy emerges as the foremost publicly traded corporation with BTC on its balance sheet.
Collectively, Strategy, IBIT, FBTC, and GBTC command 1,494,439.88 BTC. This signifies that, of the 19.84 million BTC currently in circulation, these four entities account for 7.53% of the total supply.
The confluence of major corporate holders such as Strategy, ongoing ETF accumulation, and the prospective purchases for a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) alongside global equivalents may diminish bitcoin’s liquid supply, potentially precipitating a scarcity scenario—provided demand persists at current levels.
Notably, bitcoin’s divisibility (down to 0.00000001 BTC) ensures that even if whole-coin availability tightens, fractional trading of satoshis can preserve liquidity, ensuring market fluidity.
