#MicroStrategy 's Bitcoin holdings have surpassed the cash reserves of major corporations like #Nike , #IBM , and Johnson & Johnson, reaching an estimated $26 billion. This milestone underscores the company's aggressive strategy to accumulate Bitcoin since 2020, spearheaded by co-founder #MichaelSaylor . Initially funded by operational cash, MicroStrategy expanded its Bitcoin position through stock issuances and convertible debt.
As a result, MicroStrategy has become the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, with its shares surging more than 2,500% since mid-2020, far outpacing Bitcoin's own 700% growth during the same period. This performance has cemented MicroStrategy's leadership in corporate cryptocurrency adoption, with investors drawn to the company's exposure to Bitcoin's gains without the need to directly manage digital wallets. The company's "Bitcoin yield," which measures the growth of its Bitcoin holdings relative to shares outstanding, has increased by 26.4% this year.$BTC
