Top fintech companies like Microstrategy, Tesla, Block, and Galaxy Digital Holding have accumulated significant amounts of BTC over the past three years, even though the BTC price is down by 55% from its all-time high. The report also highlights that regulatory uncertainty has prevented some companies from adopting Bitcoin, but recent filings by leading asset management companies indicate a bullish sentiment towards digital gold.

However, recent legal actions against Binance and Coinbase by the SEC caused the market cap to drop to almost $1 trillion.
