Michael Saylor, executive chairman of Strategy, expressed continued confidence in Bitcoin as the main digital asset for companies, speaking Friday with Bloomberg. Saylor’s remarks came as more corporate treasuries have started exploring investments in Ether and other cryptocurrencies.
Saylor said he is “laser-like focused” on Bitcoin and highlighted that the total number of companies holding Bitcoin jumped from about 60 to 160 over the past six months. At the time of his statement, Bitcoin’s share of the overall crypto market was 60.18%, according to TradingView data.
“I think there is an explosion of innovation across the entire crypto economy, and on the margin it is good for everybody in the digital asset space,” Saylor told Bloomberg. He also stated, “I still think the vast majority of capital flowing in the space is flowing into Bitcoin.” He predicted that Bitcoin would continue to outperform traditional indexes such as the S&P 500.
Strategy currently manages the world’s largest public Bitcoin treasury, holding 628,791 BTC valued at about $74.15 billion, according to BitcoinTreasuries.NET. The second-largest holder, MARA Holdings, owns 50,639 BTC, which is more than twelve times less.
Bitcoin recently reached an all-time high of $123,100 on July 14 before pulling back to $118,035 at the time of publication, as shown by Nansen data. Meanwhile, Ether (ETH) traded at $4,224, up 23% over the past 30 days. Analysts have pointed to institutional and ETF demand as major drivers for this jump.
Public companies’ Ether holdings now total $11.77 billion, led by BitMine Immersion Technologies with holdings of 833,100 ETH valued at $3.2 billion, according to this source. SharpLink Gaming and The Ether Machine follow with $2 billion and $1.34 billion in ETH respectively, while the Ethereum Foundation and PulseChain complete the top five.
Some experts believe the rise in corporate Ether holdings could signal new trends in decentralized finance, although Bitcoin continues to attract the largest share of capital in the digital asset sector.
