This cements Strategy as the largest known corporate Bitcoin holder, with more than double the BTC of the next 20 public firms combined.
While some analysts suggest the buying streak may cause a supply shock and push prices higher, others question the sustainability of this model – especially for smaller firms using debt and equity to fund purchases.
Venture capital firm Breed noted that Strategy’s scale and disciplined bear market strategy make it better positioned to survive downturns and potentially acquire distressed competitors.
However, newer firms may struggle due to stricter capital-raising terms and higher leverage.
