Some public companies have bet their entire business model on Bitcoin, but owning their shares comes with risks that buying the coin itself never would. Find out who holds the most and whether the trade-off is worth it.

In 2026, Strategy has amassed an impressive 846,000 Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC), representing approximately 65% of the nearly 1.3 million Bitcoin held by public companies. Together, these companies own around 6.2% of the total 21 million Bitcoin that will ever exist, worth about $109 billion at a price of roughly $84,018 per coin.

So, besides Strategy, which other public companies hold significant Bitcoin? What advantages do investors gain by buying shares in these companies rather than buying Bitcoin directly?

The 5 US-Listed Public Companies That Hold the Most Bitcoin

The following ranking features U.S.-listed companies, based on their latest reported Bitcoin holdings. Keep in mind that companies frequently buy and sell their Bitcoin, so these figures can fluctuate quickly.

1. Strategy Holds 846,000 Bitcoin

Strategy (NASDAQ:MSTR | MSTR Price Prediction) leads the pack with 846,000 Bitcoin, valued at about $71 billion, which makes up about 4% of all Bitcoin that will ever exist. While it started as MicroStrategy, the company now primarily focuses on acquiring more Bitcoin, recently purchasing an additional 950 coins in mid-September.
