A company has emerged that has surpassed Wall Street giant BlackRock to become the institutional investor holding the most Bitcoin globally, shaking up the power dynamics of the virtual asset market and attracting the attention of investors.

According to cryptocurrency media outlet Finbold on April 20 (local time), Strategy officially announced through documents submitted to the US Securities and Exchange Commission that it purchased 34,164 Bitcoin (BTC) between the 13th and 19th at an average price of $74,395. As a result of pouring $2.54 billion raised through stock issuance, Strategy's total holdings surged to 815,061 units, an enormous amount worth an impressive $61.14 billion at current value.

In contrast, BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust, a spot Bitcoin ETF managed by global asset manager BlackRock, held 802,823.45 units as of April 17, recording an estimated value of approximately $60.22 billion, dropping to second place. Despite an inflow of $906.09 million last week, adding about 11,000 coins, it was insufficient to keep up with Strategy's aggressive accumulation pace.

Ironically, behind BlackRock losing its leading position is a strategic decision to heavily purchase Strategy's shares instead of its own fund. According to data, BlackRock holds 14.61 million shares of Strategy, worth approximately $2.39 billion as of the end of 2025. The reason investors prefer Strategy over a simple spot fund is clear: thanks to its persistent accumulation strategy through equity-based financing, its year-to-date return has reached 9.5%, generating higher returns per share.

Furthermore, Michael Saylor, founder of Strategy, presented a shareholder-friendly blueprint to increase the dividend payment frequency from once a month to twice a month to reduce price volatility and increase liquidity. Thanks to this differentiated profit structure and active stock price management, Strategy is currently attracting massive capital from leading Wall Street banks and investment firms such as Vanguard, Bank of America, and State Street, like a black hole.
