Las Vegas – Bitcoin Ministry of Finance’s play has been lifted strategy Currently, its market capitalization is over $80 billion and is being mimicked by meme corporations, media companies and multinational conglomerates. But Wall Street doesn’t buy all the hype.
this week, Trump Media Announces plans to raise $2.5 billion to buy Bitcoin, GameStop It revealed a $500 million allocation. Meanwhile, Jack Mallers from Tether, Softbank and Strike have announced Twenty One. This is a Bitcoin native public company that will be launched for over 42,000 Bitcoin on its balance sheet, and is enough to become the third largest company holder of assets globally.
For now, the market has not seen any of these strategies: Trump’s media stocks have fallen by more than 20% since its announcement, but GameStop has fallen by almost 17%. The strategy, previously known as MicroStrategy, has increased 26 times since the end of 2022, accumulating over $60 billion in Bitcoin stakes.
“Maybe the market would have wanted them to buy more Bitcoin,” said Strategy Chairman Michael Saylor in an interview at Bitcoin 2025 in Las Vegas. “But these are short-term dynamics. In the long run, Bitcoin on the balance sheet has proven to be extremely popular.”
Saylor called the Trump media move “courageous, aggressive and intelligent,” and said the flood of similar announcements marked a global change in corporate finance.
“Every time I go to this meeting someone says, I’m working on a Bitcoin finance company in Hong Kong. I’m doing this in Korea. I have something I’m working on in Abu Dhabi. I’m going to do this in the Middle East. “Now there’s an explosion of interest.”
Saylor said the Bitcoin ambassador “plants orange flags everywhere on the planet.”
What began as a financial manipulation of fringes is quickly becoming a geopolitical race. Under the Biden administration, corporate Bitcoin adoption was often treated as a red flag of regulation. But under President Donald Trump, the tone has changed.
In March, Trump signed an executive order to establish a U.S. strategic Bitcoin Reserve, directing federal agencies to treat Bitcoin as a long-term valued storage. According to the White House Crypto and I Zar David Sachs, the preparation will be fully funded through Bitcoin seized in criminal and civil forfeiture cases. The order also empowers the government to explore additional budget neutral mechanisms to acquire more Bitcoin.
For the first time, the federal government has conducted a full audit of digital asset holdings, and is currently estimated to be over 200,000 Bitcoins. The order expressly prohibits the sale of Bitcoin from the reserves and cements its role as a permanent sovereign asset.
“There’s no power on the planet”
This week, Vice President JD Vance became the first vice president to address the Bitcoin community directly, framing codes as inflation, censorship and hedges against “unelected bureaucrats.” And with further moves to increase Bitcoin, the Ministry of Labor has repeatedly put its guidance discouraged from investing in Bitcoin in its retirement plans.
“The power on earth cannot stop the idea that time came,” Saylor said. “Bitcoin is digital capital and perhaps the most explosive idea of this era.”
Some corners of the corporate world are still resistant. The end of last year Microsoft Shareholders rejected the proposal to follow Saylor’s lead, using a portion of the software company’s large cash pile. In a video presentation supporting the effort, Saylor told investors, “Microsoft can’t afford to miss the next wave of technology.”
The strategy won early adoption rewards, but Saylor suggested that the market’s cool response to Trump media could stem from structural funding dynamics than skepticism about Bitcoin itself.
He noted that GameStop’s initial announcement is considering a Bitcoin strategy, with a 50% POP and a 10-fold increase in trading volume. The company quickly harnessed its momentum with a $1.5 billion convertible bond pay raise. This is the move he described as “very successful.” Trump Media took a similar approach, raising capital through large convertible debt provisions.
Saylor said these funding methods could create short-term downward pressures, but said investors will benefit over time.
When it comes to strategy, Saylor said there is no ceiling in his Bitcoin accumulation plan. His company is already by far the largest corporate holder of cryptocurrency.
“We’ll continue to buy Bitcoin,” he told CNBC. “We hope that Bitcoin prices will continue to rise. I think buying Bitcoin will be exponentially difficult, but we will work more exponentially more efficiently to buy Bitcoin.”
For critics who worry that Bitcoin-based actors will undermine its decentralized ideals, Saylor argues against it.
“The network is very rebellious and there’s a balance of power here,” he said. “The more actors enter the ecosystem and the more diverse the protocols are, the more dispersed, more likely to be corrupted and more robust.
