It's truly surprising that MicroStrategy (MSTR) has risen to the fifth-best position among large American corporate treasuries
solely holding Bitcoin. For sure, MSTR is not "soley holding" bitcoin, since it is aggressively accumulating bitcoin by using other people's money and promoting itself as a place in which others can give them money and they will buy bitcoin with that money and they will buy bitcoin in an aggressive way, using all means available to accumulate bitcoin.
Their message has evolved since their offered products have gotten more sophisticated and they set themself up as a magnate to attract capital and to put it to work through the creation and maintenance of "interesting" financial instruments that were designed to be enticing, mutually beneficial and innovative.
I agree with you that it is interesting that MSTR's treasury has grown to such stature in just over 5 years, since I believe that in mid-to-late 2020, MSTR started out with less than $1 billion in value (perhaps in the neighborhood of around $500 million). I think that maybe MSTR's treasury and even any assets that they owned, added up to less than $500 million when the started to buy bitcoin with something like 75% of the cash that they then had on-hand.
Michael Saylor's MicroStrategy is followed by Microsoft in first position, Google in third position, Amazon in second position, and Berkshire Hathaway in the top position. However, if the Bitcoin market goes above $150,000, then Abiasly MicroStrategy will inevitably move to third position.
Berkshire looks like the ONLY real contender in terms of MSTR being able to pass them fairly easily.. that part is quite amazing for MSTR to move up so quickly.
