Strategy's Market Value Reaches New Peak at 128.5 Billion USD, Solidifying Major Institutional Position

In a significant development reported by CoinDesk and covered by BlockBeats on July 17, Strategy’s market value has surged to an unprecedented 128.5 billion USD, marking a watershed moment for the company. This valuation places Strategy among the elite tier of U.S. publicly traded companies by market capitalization—a remarkable trajectory when considering the company’s position just five years ago, when its valuation stood below 2 billion USD.

Substantial Bitcoin Holdings Drive Value Growth

The scale of Strategy’s cryptocurrency holdings underscores its strategic positioning in the market. As of mid-July, the company maintains custody of 601,550 Bitcoins, representing approximately 3% of all circulating Bitcoin in circulation. At current valuations, this reserve translates to roughly 7.16 billion USD in holdings alone. The economics of these holdings are particularly noteworthy: with an average acquisition cost of 71,268 USD per Bitcoin, each unit currently generates an individual gain of approximately 47,732 USD, contributing to an aggregate unrealized profit of around 28.7 billion USD across the entire portfolio.

Strategic Accumulation and Market Implications

The accumulation strategy has paid substantial dividends, with Strategy’s per-Bitcoin cost basis demonstrating disciplined, long-term acquisition patterns. The current market value expansion reflects both the appreciation of BTC—now trading near $87.53K—and the market’s recognition of Strategy’s role as a major institutional holder in the Bitcoin ecosystem. This positioning reinforces the company’s status as a bellwether for institutional cryptocurrency adoption and market confidence in digital assets.
