- MicroStrategy could become the leading publicly traded company globally due to its significant Bitcoin holdings.
- The company currently holds around 568,840 Bitcoin, valued at approximately $59 billion, and has shown strong capital-raising capabilities.
- Analyst Jeff Walton projects a bullish outlook for the company’s future, supported by CEO Michael Saylor’s confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term value.
MicroStrategy, one of the world’s largest corporate owners of Bitcoin, may one day become the top publicly traded company, according to comments from a company analyst featured in a recent Financial Times documentary.
As reported in the documentary, MicroStrategy currently holds about 568,840 Bitcoin—worth roughly $59 billion as of the latest data. Analyst Jeff Walton said this large position could allow the firm to outpace all other publicly listed companies in financial strength and market value.
“Strategy holds more of the best assets and the most pristine collateral on the entire planet than any other company, by multiples,” Walton stated in the Financial Times documentary, Michael Saylor’s $40 billion Bitcoin bet. He also noted the company’s ability to raise significant capital quickly, highlighting a recent event in which MicroStrategy raised $12 billion in just 50 days in November 2024.
Walton emphasized the difficulty of raising large amounts of capital, noting that “It’s incredibly hard to raise $100 million of capital, and they just raised $100 million of capital 120 times in 50 days, and they were able to buy Bitcoin with that capital. That’s insane,” he said.
MicroStrategy chairman and CEO Michael Saylor contributed his outlook in the documentary, stating, “I think that MicroStrategy is in a position where we can grow from a $100 billion enterprise to a $1 trillion enterprise to a $10 trillion enterprise.” Saylor also predicted that Bitcoin could eventually reach a value of $13 million per coin, saying, “My forecast for 2045 is 13 million a Bitcoin. I would think in the four to eight year time frame. Certainly, in 10 years we should be at a million. So one million in 10 years, you know, 10X that or more in 20 years.”
Currently, MicroStrategy is ranked as the 151st largest company in the world, with a market capitalization of approximately $117 billion, according to CompaniesMarketCap. To reach the top spot, it would need to surpass Microsoft, which has a market capitalization exceeding $3.3 trillion.
The Financial Times documentary highlights the company’s unique Bitcoin strategy, its vigorous capital raising, and the ambitious forecasts from its leadership regarding both the company and cryptocurrency sector. Related reporting also notes that major crypto exchange Coinbase once considered a similar strategy to MicroStrategy before choosing a different path.
