BlackRock CEO Larry Fink echoed this sentiment, predicting Bitcoin could reach $700,000 amid global currency debasement fears.Notably, Microsoft and Meta both rejected shareholder proposals in 2024 to explore Bitcoin treasury adoption, when BTC traded at $97,000 and $104,000, respectively — missing out on the subsequent surge.Meanwhile, corporate Bitcoin adoption has accelerated rapidly in 2025, with over 200 public companies now holding BTC, up from fewer than 100 at the start of the year.With an average purchase price of $73,981 per Bitcoin, Strategy’s position represents a 65% unrealized gain — worth roughly $30.4 billion — solidifying its role as the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder.
