Strategy holds 848,000 BTC and IBIT 805,222.42 BTC, 7.87% of Bitcoin's supply cap
Bitcoin.com News reports Strategy holds 848,000 BTC and BlackRock's IBIT 805,222.42 BTC, together 1.653 million BTC worth about $140.82 billion.
Why it matters
Two unlike wrappers now hold close to the same amount of bitcoin, one a corporate treasury and one an ETF trust, and the outlet's combined figure reaches 7.87% of the 21 million cap. The note that IBIT in-kind outflows can reflect transfers rather than sales bears on how ETF flow data gets read. The report rests on a single outlet, so the numbers are not independently confirmed.
