Its a piece of good news that some mainstream companies are already considering the cryptocurrency potential, although that it's a positive development for the whole crypto industry but still it was just a small number of mainstream companies that recognized and adopt the cryptocurrency potential I hope it will grow more and include those mainstream giants.

Not even close to an accurate list.
Off the top of my head they don't have Gemini and they don't list Overstock / Medici (whatever they are calling themselves)

So with those two it's shown to be wildly inaccurate.
Don't see bitpay / bitrefill / bitstamp either but I am not not sure if any of them hold I would think at least one would.

Thats not even a Million bitcoin worth lol, meaning still Whales are the biggest holder of bitcoin worldwide.

But indeed a good Spread here mate, this even add positive feeds for the whole community as it was slowly dropping support now.

What is really interesting in the chart even though it is not the entire chart of companies holding the coins is the average price of Bitcoin in their holdings and what i always wonder is when they will be booking their profits as well. When you have huge investment in a certain asset by fund houses they usually book their profit and everyone should be aware of that as well if there is a major correction as these investors will always re-enter again.

Not really something that needs cheering. I see a lot of these companies are related to bitcoin/blockchain. But there are companies like Tesla or square which are not related to bitcoin. That's where we really need to worry. Big pocket corporates have the monetary power to become the controller of the market. So if they start showing interest in crypto market, we won't be able to stop the massacre. So I personally don't find this news enticing. Rather, it's a risk for retail investors like us.

Shall it's a personal opinion, when looking at the list you will know that its few that been listed by op, while we have many in the list, which i think that Riot blockchain and NEXON . Com limited is one of the major companies that hold Bitcoin despite the NEXON is like its not operating effectively, it depends on their financial capability use to purchase Bitcoin that is under their custody, to this numerous companies. Shall our hope is to let more companies adventure into cryptocurrency.

[Kelvinid]

That is a huge number, but some are just quiet and are not on the list.

From time to time, these numbers will continue to increase. maybe by the end of this year, we are able to make x2 or even x3. That is overwhelming, right?   Well, we can never disclose these huge changes, I know and I believe it will come soon that the majority will use and adopt Bitcoin. It just takes time to develop and for the community to find it and might be appreciated.

If you look at some more accurate and complete lists you will see that the total amount of BTC held by all companies is about 8%, which filled more than 1 million BTC (1 685 391). And that's not something new, its old data, and it won't have any effect on how you say "dropping support" - weak hands have always been bad support anyway.


By the way, it doesn't make sense to quote the whole OP - your post won't look any better, quite the opposite.

Am glad Tesla and musk not even among top holders, at least there are still up to 32 companies holding btc irrespective of this fud, this companies knows the importance of holding btc so they don't mind the rest of what people are saying about mining btc and all that, this is a sign that btc is one asset we must hold, no need to panic sell because of some irrelevant fud.

[ropyu1978]

if you think of the 32 big companies that have adopted bitcoin, I think that's a big number, maybe that's old news, maybe now the companies holding bitcoins have decreased, because they took profits, so they gave up all their bitcoins, so now there are only a few companies big companies that hold bitcoin.. we all hope that in the future bitcoin will not only be big companies that hold bitcoins, but we can also accommodate lots of bitcoins

[Swopon]

Yes, because it already published by mainstream newspaper that they are buying Bitcoin and holding with a big amount of BITCOIN. It should be needed to hold more because the current market is not stable due to spreading neg news again and again. Holding will be good for now. Hopefully, the situation will overcome soon.

[Review Master]

Today, MicroStrategy announces proposed private offering of $400 Million of senior secured notes to acquire additional bitcoin . And it looks like, Michael Saylor is on the mission to overtake block(dot)one in terms of hodling bitcoin and take bitcoin to the moon. Lets see who will win the race for being on the position of top institutional investor. 

Reminder

• They are tips of iceberg. There are probably more companies have investments into Bitcoin
• They just have yet publicly announced their investments

Indeed, there are more companies outside USA which already bought bitcoin and didn't make it public yet. So actual hodlings of bitcoin by institutional investors/companies are still unkown and we can just get a rough idea of the hodlings through those websites.

[pawanjain]

It may be taken as a good as well as a bad news.

Good - because more number of entities are holding bitcoin
Bad - because the number of whales are increasing and more the number of whales more the risk of manipulation

At the end it gives us the positive hope that bitcoin adoption is just increasing every year

As Bitcoin continues its meteoric growth, we are not surprised at companies storing cryptocurrency as funds.  Many major companies and institutional investors buy Bitcoin as a reserve asset. It has an impact in the market but I don't think if we need to worry about it. Although they can manipulate the market, let's ride on. Only weak hands will always be the loser and the whales always waiting for them.

Has Overstock and Gemini disclosed how much bitcoin they're holding though? Assuming they actually hold bitcoin. Because if not, there's literally no data to show. Hence why even the alternative websites doesn't have both listed.

So with those two it's shown to be wildly inaccurate.
Don't see bitpay / bitrefill / bitstamp either but I am not not sure if any of them hold I would think at least one would.

As for these companies, did they even say that they hold bitcoin specifically on their balance sheets and not as assets-under-management? Safe to assume the main point of these "bitcoin treasury" websites is to list companies that actually hold bitcoin to hedge their cash. Listing exchanges would make it inaccurate because they hold bitcoin that's not necessarily theirs.

Some quite known personaliies worldwide have some impact on bitcoin's current price... like Elon Musks who I think just playing with the market of not just bitcoin but also some few alternate coins. Its a good news that there are big companies that put their trust on bitcoin, however those acts like Elon are doing aren't making any help on the community. Recently he received a "warning" from the Anonymous group just to share.

[KennyR]

StoneRidge Holdings seems to be the best one in my view, because even before the giants they've realised the potential of bitcoin and has invested much earlier than rest of the companies. This list will turn very big in the falling years, because every large scale firm will look for an opportunity. Possibly waiting for a massive crash to pour good sum of money into bitcoin.

[acener]

It's great that we have so many companies that believes in Bitcoin and wanted to be part of it,
But I think there are more than just 32 what if there are others who are still discreet about them owning crypto?
It is still great that after more than a decade we now have those companies backing up crypto and for sure there would be more in the future.
