  The 10 Public Companies With the Biggest Bitcoin Portfolios

  For many years, the idea that publicly traded corporations might buy Bitcoin for their reserves was considered laughable. The top cryptocurrency was considered too volatile, too fringe to be embraced by any serious business. That taboo has been well and truly broken, with a number of major institutional investors buying up Bitcoin in recent years. The floodgates first opened when cloud software company Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) bought $425 million worth of Bitcoin in August and September...

  Bitcoin, Stocks Surge After Report That DOGE Boss Elon Musk Will Leave Trump Orbit

  Beyond Strategy: 11 More Publicly Traded Companies That Are Stockpiling Bitcoin

  Strategy's Bitcoin buying plan—once maligned by big businesses—has produced blockbuster profits for the software company amid the latest Bitcoin boom, pushing its stock price to an all-time high in November as its stash tops $42 billion worth of the coin as of this writing.

  This Week in Bitcoin: Strategy Stalls, But White House Plans to Buy More BTC

  One week after U.S. President Trump announced a strategic Bitcoin reserve, the asset is trading down—mostly thanks to wider macroeconomic uncertainties stemming from the new commander in chief's dramatic and unpredictable policies. Bitcoin was priced at a little over $84,000 per coin as of late Friday evening after dipping nearly 4% over a seven-day period, CoinGecko shows. But despite dipping more than 20% from its record high in January, the slump could be brief, analysts told Decrypt. Thanks...

  As Dogecoin makes a comeback off the back of Bitcoin’s surge, some may be pondering: Where did the asset come from? What’s it for? And what’s Tesla CEO Elon Musk got to do with it?  The original meme coin’s boom largely has the world’s richest man to thank. Musk’s obsession with shitposting helped boost the coin to a top 10 cryptocurrency. It’s been a wacky ride over the past few years, culminating in Musk's appointment to lead a government agency called DOGE—yes, really. But we'll explain it al...
