Saylor’s Microstrategy now has more bitcoin (BTC) than any publicly traded company. The trustee from the Mt. Gox bankruptcy trial allegedly possesses 141,686 BTC, which will be paid out to creditors at some point in the future. Galaxy Digital Holdings, also on the stock market, comes in at number two with almost 40,000 BTC in reserves, behind only Microstrategy.
Regarding private enterprises, Mt. Gox is one of two private organizations that own more Bitcoin than Microstrategy. The EOS development team, Block.one, has around 140,000 BTC in the bitcoin treasury as of right now. When Microstrategy announced that it had acquired 301 bitcoins, many individuals took to social media to share their thoughts on the transaction.
