A well-known software company once gained fame for betting on Bitcoin. It currently holds over 670,000 BTC, accounting for more than 3.2% of the global circulating supply, making it a key risk source in the crypto ecosystem.



To accumulate these Bitcoins, the company spent over $50 billion—mainly financed through debt and stock issuance. Ironically, its annual software revenue is only $460 million, which is negligible compared to its massive Bitcoin exposure. In other words, the entire enterprise is now essentially a Bitcoin fund wrapped in a software shell.

The numbers are even more striking. By the end of 2025, the company's market cap is expected to be around $45 billion, while the value of the Bitcoin it holds could be between $59 billion and $60 billion—meaning its on-paper holdings are worth more than the company's total valuation. Investors have discounted its stock mainly due to concerns over equity dilution, debt black holes, and long-term sustainability. The company's average cost basis is approximately $74,972 per BTC, with over 95% of its valuation locked in by Bitcoin prices—if the coin's price weakens, the entire company could collapse.

Recent data provides a vivid example. Since early October, Bitcoin has fallen by 20%, but the company's stock has performed even worse—losing more than twice the Bitcoin’s decline during the same period. This is the magnifying effect of high leverage: the larger the position and the heavier the debt, the more deadly the price volatility.

This guy really bet his entire fortune on Bitcoin. Playing with such high leverage will eventually lead to a crash.

This move is truly a gambler's mentality. Throwing 50 billion just to bet on a coin, now that the coin drops, stocks crash along with it. Serves them right.

That's the gambler's mentality—turning the company into a leverage tool, and sooner or later, it's going to crash.

This is the gambler's mentality. 50 billion was poured in and now it's locked up. The decline is even more brutal than the coin itself.
