- Bitcoin‘s daily trading volume in 2025 has ranged from $20 billion to $100 billion, surpassing the highest combined daily peaks of Google and Microsoft.
- Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy (MSTR), highlighted this at Binance Blockchain Week, stating that “Bitcoin is the foundation of economic markets”.
- The U.S. Navy’s daily expenditure of roughly $706 million is significantly lower than Bitcoin’s daily trading activity.
- Strategy (MSTR) is engaging with MSCI regarding potential exclusion from their indices, which could impact investor flows.
Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy (MSTR), stated on Wednesday during Binance Blockchain Week that Bitcoin (BTC)’s average daily trading volume in 2025 has exceeded the combined trading volumes of Google (GOOG, GOOGL) and Microsoft (MSFT). Saylor explained that Bitcoin’s daily volume has ranged between $20 billion and $100 billion this year, far above the peaks of major technology stocks.
He emphasized the influence of Bitcoin in financial markets, stating, “Bitcoin is the foundation of economic markets — its trading power exceeds Google, Microsoft, and even the Navy’s spending power.” On the day of the event, Bitcoin’s trading volume reached around $85 billion, according to CoinMarketCap. By comparison, combined peak trading volumes for Alphabet and Microsoft rarely top $30 billion, data from Koyfin shows.
For context, the U.S. Navy’s fiscal 2025 budget translates to about $706 million spent each day, a figure that is much lower than daily Bitcoin trading activity. Unlike stock markets, which typically count trading as shares multiplied by price, Bitcoin’s daily trading figure includes global spot, derivatives, and over-the-counter transactions, showing the asset’s extensive liquidity.
Strategy (MSTR), which has linked much of its value to Bitcoin, is currently under review for possible exclusion from MSCI indices. Saylor confirmed to Reuters that the company is engaging in discussions regarding MSCI’s upcoming decision. Analysis from JPMorgan suggests that being removed could trigger $2.8 billion in investor outflows, with up to $8.8 billion at risk if other index providers follow suit. MSCI is expected to decide by January 15 whether companies with major cryptocurrency holdings should be included, noting their similarity to investment funds.
In recent trading, MSTR’s share price increased up to 2.3% in pre-market activity as the broader crypto market recovered. Over the past year, however, the stock has dropped about 40% and is down over 53% in the last 12 months. Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s price is roughly flat since the start of the year and down 2.7% across the past 12 months.
