Public companies are rapidly adopting Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset, following MicroStrategy‘s profitable strategy that has accumulated over $40 billion worth of the cryptocurrency. The trend has accelerated as Bitcoin reached $108,000 in December 2023, attracting both established tech giants and emerging companies to the digital asset space.

Tech Giants Lead the Way

Tesla, under CEO Elon Musk, maintains approximately 10,000 Bitcoin according to its latest SEC filing. The electric vehicle manufacturer first invested $1.5 billion in Bitcoin in February 2021, although it temporarily paused accepting the cryptocurrency for vehicle purchases due to environmental concerns.

Block, the financial services company formerly known as Square, holds more than 8,000 Bitcoin worth approximately $758 million, based on market estimates. The company initiated its Bitcoin investment strategy in October 2020 with an initial purchase of 4,700 tokens.

New Market Entrants

Video platform Rumble announced plans to invest up to $20 million in Bitcoin, while receiving a $775 million investment from stablecoin firm Tether. Cannabis company LEEF Brands revealed its Bitcoin strategy through a $5 million Bitcoin-backed debenture offering, as stated in their corporate announcement.
