Strategy’s Crypto Assets Surpass Other Corporate Investors
The valuation of Strategy’s BTC assets positions it far ahead of other publicly listed firms that invest in the cryptocurrency. As per data from Bitcoin Treasuries, Strategy currently possesses 505,955 more BTC than the second-ranking Marathon Digital and 522,055 more than the third-place Twenty One Capital.
Strategy has invested nearly $38 billion in total for its crypto acquisitions. With the value of its holdings exceeding $50 billion at present, the firm enjoys an unrealized profit of $14 billion. This profit exists only on paper until the company decides to sell part of its assets.
End-Of-Month Buying Trend Emerges
A cryptocurrency specialist named J.A. Maartunn of CryptoQuant highlighted Strategy’s tendency to make its largest purchases at month’s end. 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 acquisition following the same pattern.
Between these substantial end-of-month transactions, Strategy’s purchases never exceeded 7,000 BTC, corroborating the analyst’s observations regarding the firm’s buying habits. This trend indicates that the company may continue to make significant purchases in the upcoming months.
