Blockchain analysis company Arkham Intelligence claims to have discovered previously undisclosed wallet addresses associated with Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), which may expose Bitcoin (BTC) holdings worth billions of dollars.
In a post mentioning Strategy co-founder and executive chairman Michael Saylor's commitment to privacy, Arkham stated that it has additionally identified 70,816 Bitcoins associated with the company. At current prices, this batch of Bitcoins is valued at approximately $7.6 billion.
Arkham indicated that the newly identified wallets bring Strategy's total holdings to $54.5 billion. If this discovery is accurate, it means Arkham has mapped out most of the company's Bitcoin reserves, becoming the first entity to publicly associate these wallets with the company.
Arkham wrote, "Saylor said he would never disclose his addresses. So, we did it for him," adding that this amount accounts for 87.5% of Strategy's total Bitcoin holdings.
Cointelegraph has reached out to Arkham and Strategy for comments, but has not received a response as of the time of publication.
Arkham's statement came after Saylor commented on the risks of publicly disclosing wallet addresses. At the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, Saylor stated that for companies holding Bitcoin, publicly revealing wallet addresses is dangerous.
Saylor said, "No institutional or enterprise security analyst would think it's a good idea to publicly disclose all wallet addresses, allowing your transactions to be tracked back and forth."
The executive noted that public wallets would subject every future transaction to scrutiny, exposing the company to risks that may not be immediately apparent.
To emphasize his point, Saylor suggested using artificial intelligence to explore the issue. He stated that if users put AI into deep thinking mode and ask about the security issues related to public wallet addresses, the AI's response could result in a security issue list that could be as long as "50 pages."
Although blockchain data is public, the accuracy of claims regarding wallet ownership has previously been questioned.
During the peak of the Mantra token collapse, Mantra CEO John Mullin denied allegations of insiders dumping tokens. The executive accused Arkham of incorrectly labeling wallets they identified as belonging to insiders.
