Bittime - MicroStrategy, a company known for its massive investment inBitcoin, strengthened its crypto portfolio earlier this year by amassing assets that exceed 1% of total Bitcoin issuance. However, recent disclosures show that MicroStrategy's Bitcoin stash pales in comparison to industry giantsBlackRockand Fidelity.

MicroStrategy Bitcoin Deposits Lag Behind BlackRock and Fidelity

BlackRock and Fidelity both hold 428,304 Bitcoins, worth about $27.7 billion, through their spot Bitcoin exchange funds (ETFs). This figure far exceeds MicroStrategy's Bitcoin savings of 214,000 or the equivalent of double the amount of crypto held.

The growth of the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF is proven by the flow of funds for 71 consecutive days. Fidelity's Bitcoin fund follows with more than $10 billion in assets under management, second only to BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) which has more than $18 billion.
