These 5 companies hold the most coins

 


In the beginning, Bitcoin mainly made private individuals rich. But in recent years more and more companies have invested in the most famous cryptocurrency. But which company owns the most? 

Bitcoin company with a lot of coins - 5. Coinbase 

The US crypto exchange is one of the most important trading centers for digital currencies worldwide. The company has been listed on the American NASDAQ since mid-April. In the meantime, the company had a market value of over $ 100 billion. In comparison, the company's Bitcoin inventory is rather small. Coinbase owns "only" around 4,500 Bitcoin. This is currently equivalent to about $ 220 million.

4. Marathon Digital

The company Marathon Digital is probably much less known than Coinbase. However, this is because Marathon Digital is a Bitcoin mining company. Accordingly, it also has a significant Bitcoin inventory in its ranks. The $ 3.5 billion company owns approximately 5,300 BTC. The equivalent of that is about $ 260 million.

3. Square

Square is a payment services company with a market value of over $ 110 billion. Ironically, Twitter founder Jack Dorsey leads the company, a well-known fan of Bitcoin. The company's Cash app allows users to buy and sell Bitcoin. But the company also has a few thousand bitcoins in its own portfolio. More specifically, it's just over 8,000 BTC, which is currently valued at around $ 400 million.

2. Tesla

Let's come to a more familiar example. With Tesla, we are now entering a completely different dimension when it comes to Bitcoin ownership by companies. Elon Musk's prestigious project owns a whopping 48,000 Bitcoin, which is worth an incredible $ 2.35 billion. Tesla simply invested $ 1.5 billion in the acquisition of Bitcoin in 2020. So far the investment has paid off.

Lots of coins - 1. MicroStrategy

Only one company can stand up to Tesla. The infamous MicroStrategy is lonely at the forefront when it comes to Bitcoin ownership by companies. This is no wonder, as the acquisition of Bitcoin is the official corporate strategy of MicroStrategy. MicroStrategy now owns over 90,000 bitcoins valued at around $ 4.5 billion. This is all the more astonishing since the company's total market value is only marginally higher at $ 6.3 billion.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

El Salvador: Bitcoin bonds are a long time coming

  El Salvador's finance minister believes Bitcoin's continued price volatility means Bitcoin bonds aren't coming anytime soon. Meanwhile, the country faces a human rights crisis. El Salvador Finance Minister Alejandro Zelaya said the country will further delay the launch of its expected billion-USD bitcoin bond, citing price volatility and uncertain market conditions resulting from the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war. The news comes at a time when Amnesty International is accusing the Salvadoran authorities of flagrant human rights abuses and criminalizing those living in poverty. In an interview on local news show Frente a Frente, Zelaya was asked if the situation had changed with the planned bitcoin bond. “No, not yet, the [Bitcoin] price continues to be disrupted by the war in Ukraine,” He added that fluctuations are constant in the short term, but always appreciate in value over the long term. “There is a future and an economic innovation [in bitcoin] that we must bet on.” ...
