Michael Saylor’s $BTC ambitions know no bounds. Now, he plans for his company – Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) – to stack up $1T of the world’s largest crypto asset.
As more $BTC is scooped up, projects building on Bitcoin, such as Bitcoin Hyper, are likely to see their utility and demand accelerate.
Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), now in presale, is a Layer-2 (L2) scaling solution being developed to address the Bitcoin network’s pain points. And it’ll only help as demand peaks.
Strategy’s $47.35B $BTC Stash Generates $27B in Returns
In 2020, Strategy boldly pivoted from business software to a digital asset-focused balance sheet. And boy, has it paid off.
The company is now the largest corporate holder of $BTC worldwide.
The total stash was accumulated for roughly $47.35B at an average price of about $73,983. However, with $BTC now trading at $116,5K, Strategy is sitting on over $27B in unrealized gains.
Despite the humongous profit, Strategy’s large $BTC buys have received some backlash. Take short-seller Jim Chano, for instance. He slammed the company’s valuation by calling it ‘financial gibberish.’
Peter Schiff, chief economist at Euro Pacific Capital, also criticizes Strategy. In an X post last week, he called the firm’s approach ‘harebrained’ and noted that Strategy ($MSTR) is down 45% from its November 2024 peak.
Still, ongoing criticism hasn’t deterred other firms from betting big on the crypto king.
108 Public Companies Now Hold $119.5B Worth of $BTC
CoinMarketCap data shows that 108 public companies now hold 1,029,413 $BTC worth over $119.5B – 4.90% of the asset’s total supply.
Behind Strategy, MARA Holdings is the second-largest $BTC treasury, holding 52,477 $BTC, valued at over $6B.
Meanwhile, XXI is firmly in third place, holding 43,514 $BTC worth roughly $5.05B.
These companies, including the likes of Metaplanet (which recently established a US subsidiary to expand its $BTC income business), view the crypto leader as a long-term investment with high profit potential.
But as more capital flows into the Bitcoin ecosystem, the network often becomes congested. In turn, this results in slow transaction speeds and high fees — a less-than-ideal setup for users.
This is where Bitcoin Hyper steps in.
Bitcoin Hyper to Make Bitcoin as Efficient as Solana
Bitcoin Hyper is on a mission to address the Bitcoin network’s biggest limitations.
Once launched this quarter, its L2 chain will leverage the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) to make the Bitcoin network faster, cheaper, and more scalable.
In fact, Solana far outpaces Bitcoin in many key performance areas. The network’s maximum throughput reaches 4,709 tps, roughly 357x higher than Bitcoin’s 13.2 tps peak.
And that’s not all. Solana’s block time average is much higher at 0.39 seconds compared to Bitcoin’s 9 minutes and 35 seconds.
But it’s not just the utilization of the SVM that’ll make the L2 more scalable – the addition of a Canonical Bridge will help, too.
The bridge will enable the movement of wrapped versions of $BTC across the Bitcoin mainnet and the L2 network. In doing so, $BTC can be used across DeFi, dApps, NFTs, and other Web3 ecosystems.
This unlocks new use cases previously unseen on Bitcoin, which will also boost liquidity.
All while preserving the inherent security of Bitcoin’s base layer.
$HYPER Powers the Bitcoin L2’s Utility, Scalability & Growth
At the core of the entire ecosystem is $HYPER, the project’s native token that drives utility, sustainability, and scalability.
The presale tokenomics show that a hefty 30% of its total token supply is earmarked to fund ongoing development, while an extra 25% is reserved for the ecosystem treasury.
Supporting the project and buying $HYPER on presale – currently available for just $0.013005 – comes with several additional perks.
If you’re interested in staking for gains, there’s no better time to do precisely that; the APY will drop as more investors catch on.
Experts predict $HYPER could reach $0.32 after it’s listed on some of the best crypto exchanges. This alone could generate over 24x returns, and that’s without factoring in any staking income.
Weighing all these points together, it’s no surprise $HYPER has raised over $19.5M already, with recent whale buys as big as $113.8K, $109.9K, and $105.4K.
