Bitcoin Rich List: Companies Stack Sats, Retail Fights for Scraps

The race for Bitcoin dominance is heating up as more companies globally move to stockpile the asset. MicroStrategy, under the leadership of CEO Michael Saylor, was an early mover. Since the company began accumulating Bitcoin, its stock price has surged by nearly 3,000%. Saylor believes that other corporations will be forced to follow suit as BTC continues to climb.

Indonesia’s fintech firm DigiAsia recently announced it will purchase $100 million worth of Bitcoin — and that’s just the beginning. The company also committed to allocating 50% of future profits to continue acquiring BTC.

Meanwhile, Japanese firm MetaPlanet has also jumped into the Bitcoin game with bold targets: 10,000 BTC by the end of 2024 and 21,000 BTC by the end of 2025. They've already secured over 6,700 BTC — much faster than expected.

Analysts believe BTC could hit between $370,000 and $500,000 by year-end, with some forecasts pushing the price as high as $2.4 million by 2029 or 2030.

What does this mean for retail investors? As companies accumulate thousands of BTC, available supply shrinks, making each fraction of a coin more valuable. That old crypto saying rings truer than ever: “Owning just 0.28 BTC could place you in the top 1% of Bitcoin holders.”

With institutions hoarding supply, small investors may soon find themselves priced out — or fighting for fractions.
