Large Bitcoin holders have been major benefactors of the asset’s recent rally to a new all-time high above $90,000. Firms like MicroStrategy and Tesla and countries like El Salvador and Bhutan sit on multi-million dollar unrealized gains at the current Bitcoin price. MicroStrategy’s Portfolio Up 108% The self-acclaimed Bitcoin development company has been one of the major beneficiaries of Bitcoin’s upsurge. Data from the Saylor tracker shows that MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin stash is now worth $24.96 billion. Notably, the Michael Saylor co-founded software firm spent $11.98 billion to acquire its 279,420 BTC stash at an average price of $42,888. However, its Bitcoin portfolio has grown by over 108%, providing a staggering $12.97 billion unrealized gain. Meanwhile, MicroStrategy is not selling its Bitcoin anytime, as Saylor stated they would keep buying Bitcoin forever. The firm bought 27,200 BTC with $2 billion yesterday and intends to become a Bitcoin bank ultimately. Tesla’s Bitcoin Stash Exceeds $1B Elon Musk’s Tesla spent $1.5 billion to acquire Bitcoin in February 2021, becoming the public firm with the largest Bitcoin holding at the time. Although the firm had sold 85% of the acquired stash, its 11,509 BTC stash has surpassed the $1 billion valuation. Notably, when Tesla moved its Bitcoin portfolio to a new wallet almost a month ago, it was worth $773 million. The shuffle sparked selling speculations, but the electric car firm has held on to its stash, benefiting from the decision with a $258 million growth. Elon Must, another company, SpaceX, holds $725.4M in Bitcoin. In total, Elon Musk's Tesla and SpaceX now have $1.73B in Bitcoin. El Salvador's Bitcoin Portfolio Doubles in Value Being the first country to adopt Bitcoin as a legal tender, El Salvador drew global attention to its small coast, populated by just 6.3 million people. The country has given itself to periodically acquiring Bitcoin until its pro-crypto President Nayib Bukere decided they would buy 1 BTC a day on March 16. El Salvador’s portfolio tracker shows it has acquired 6,154 BTC since then at an average price of $44,324. Meanwhile, the stash is now worth $502 million, with 99.32% of its valuation ($136 million) an unrealized profit. Bhutan’s Bitcoin Stash Crosses $1.1B The small Asian country, which acquired Bitcoin through its mining activities, now holds over $1 billion worth of the crypto firstborn. When its stash went public two months ago, Bhutan’s Druk Holdings held 13,036 BTC, worth $770 million. However, Bitcoin’s explosion past $88,000 has ensured that Bhutan’s 12,574 BTC has a valuation of $1.1 billion despite selling 935 BTC in October. Notably, Bhutan is the fourth-largest Bitcoin-holding government and the second to officially hold the asset. Meanwhile, the German government missed out on a $1.7 billion profit by selling its stash a few months back. The Germans sold 50,000 BTC seized from Movie2K.to, a film piracy firm, at an average price of $54,000, realizing $2.7 billion. At the current market price of $88,637, the 50,000 bitcoins would be worth $4.43 billion. Although the $2.7 billion was substantial in the contest that it realized the stash from seizure, the Germans would have had an extra $1.73 billion if it had waited till now.
