Investment firm Twenty One Capital has accumulated 【43,500 BTC】—surpassing its initial target by 1,500 coins—according to Bloomberg's latest report. Backed by financial heavyweights including Cantor Fitzgerald and SoftBank, the company's crypto holdings now exceed $5.1 billion at current market prices.
The treasury firm received an additional 5,800 BTC from stablecoin issuer Tether in recent weeks. This follows Tether's earlier transfer of 37,229 BTC in June, demonstrating growing institutional confidence in Bitcoin as a treasury asset. ——"This isn't just accumulation; it's a strategic repositioning of corporate reserves,"—— remarked an industry analyst familiar with the transactions.
Twenty One Capital joins a growing list of companies adopting Bitcoin treasury strategies pioneered by Michael Saylor's Strategy. Unlike its competitor, the firm has avoided debt financing for its purchases. Interestingly, its holdings now rival Bitcoin miner MARA's 50,000 BTC stockpile, though remain dwarfed by Strategy's industry-leading 607,000 BTC.
The firm's expanding Bitcoin position coincides with its planned merger with Cantor Equity Partners, which would make it publicly traded. Market observers note this could create new pathways for traditional investors to gain Bitcoin exposure through regulated channels—a development that may further legitimize cryptocurrency in institutional portfolios.
Beyond financial firms, diverse corporations including Japanese manufacturer Kitabo and medical tech company Semler Scientific have added Bitcoin to balance sheets. This broadening adoption suggests Bitcoin's role as a corporate treasury asset is gaining mainstream acceptance across industries and geographies.
