"Overtaking"! The giant is aggressively buying 80k Bitcoin in the bear market, holding over one trillion yuan worth, topping the global ranking


Latest data shows that the listed company Strategy (MSTR) has a Bitcoin holding of 815,061 coins, surpassing the global asset management giant BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT, holding 802,824 coins) for the first time since Q2 2024, with an advantage of over 12k Bitcoin, reclaiming the title of "world's largest publicly traded Bitcoin holder."
Looking back to early 2024, Strategy only held 189,150 Bitcoin. BlackRock's IBIT, after its listing in January 2024, surged ahead early in Q2 of that year with a holding of about 273k coins, overtaking Strategy (then 214.4k coins), and has maintained its lead for nearly two years since.
However, the landscape was completely changed during the recent bear market. During the market downturn, when Bitcoin's price fell over 50% from its peak in October last year, Strategy accelerated its "buying spree," increasing its holdings by nearly 80,000 Bitcoin in 2026 alone, and recently completed its third-largest single purchase in history—buying 34,164 Bitcoin at once.
It was this fierce "buy more as prices fall" momentum that enabled a stunning turnaround. $BTC
