According to Bitcoin treasury data, this Bitcoin stacking company has purchased Bitcoin 42 times, with an average cost of $39,292.

As Bitcoin prices surge above $80,000, the Bitcoin reserves of business intelligence company MicroStrategy have just surpassed $20 billion.

According to the 'Saylor Tracker' named after the company's Executive Chairman Michael Saylor, MicroStrategy's 252,200 Bitcoins, with BTC price at $81,430, are now valued at $20.54 billion—resulting in an increase of over 104% in the company's Bitcoin investment strategy.

MicroStrategy remains the largest Bitcoin corporate holder to date, followed by Bitcoin miners Marathon Digital and Riot Platforms, holding Bitcoin valued at $2.1 billion and $840 million, respectively.

MicroStrategy also aims to raise a massive $42 billion over the next three years to stack more Bitcoin according to its '21/21' plan—comprising $21 billion in equity and $21 billion in fixed income securities.

According to CoinGecko, the current price of Bitcoin is $81,617, reaching an all-time high. This surge also benefits other major Bitcoin holders.

Bhutan has been building a large-scale Bitcoin mining operation and seems to be using Bitcoin as a strategic currency reserve.

According to data from the International Monetary Fund in October 2024, the country's Bitcoin holdings account for 32% of its $3.15 billion GDP.

Meanwhile, Drop Stab data shows that El Salvador has also benefited from its Bitcoin investment strategy, with its 5,930 Bitcoins now worth over $482 million.

This Central American country has achieved an 80% return on its Bitcoin investments, with unrealized profits of nearly $214 million. But things have not always gone smoothly.

El Salvador began its Bitcoin investment strategy two months before Bitcoin peaked in the 2020-2021 cycle, and soon after the market crash in 2022, it faced widespread media criticism.

The nation led by Nayib Bukele continues to invest in Bitcoin using dollar-cost averaging, buying only 1 Bitcoin per day.

El Salvador is also accumulating Bitcoin through its passport program and revenues from volcanic Bitcoin mining projects.
