Arkham Uncovers $5.45B in Strategy’s Bitcoin Wallets
Arkham identifies Bitcoin wallets tied to Strategy, revealing $5.45B in holdings, 87.5% of the firm’s disclosed BTC assets.
- Arkham has linked BTC addresses to Strategy (ex-MicroStrategy)
- 70,816 BTC valued at $5.45B were identified
- This accounts for 87.5% of Strategy’s disclosed holdings
Blockchain intelligence firm Arkham has made waves by uncovering Bitcoin wallet addresses connected to Strategy, the company formerly known as MicroStrategy. Despite Michael Saylor’s prior assertion that such addresses would never be made public, Arkham has successfully linked wallets holding 70,816 BTC—valued at approximately $5.45 billion.
These findings account for 87.5% of Strategy’s total publicly disclosed Bitcoin holdings. This includes assets currently custodied with Fidelity Digital, shedding light on where much of the firm’s crypto wealth is stored.
From Pseudonymity to Transparency
Arkham’s breakthrough offers a rare peek behind the curtain of corporate Bitcoin holdings. Using proprietary tools and data analytics, the firm identified and attributed the majority of Strategy’s holdings on-chain, a move that marks a significant development in the transparency of corporate crypto reserves.
Saylor, a long-time Bitcoin bull, has repeatedly emphasized privacy around the company’s crypto strategy. However, blockchain data analytics have proven that even large institutional holders can’t always remain anonymous.
Implications for Institutional Bitcoin Adoption
The discovery may have larger implications for institutional crypto transparency. As more firms follow Strategy’s lead in holding Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset, on-chain sleuths like Arkham are increasingly playing watchdog roles. The findings could also prompt companies to reevaluate how they manage wallet privacy and custody.
For the public and investors, this offers a unique verification method, reinforcing trust in public disclosures while also posing questions about privacy in the decentralized world.
