Arkham Intelligence Reveals MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Holdings
A crypto intelligence firm called Arkham Intelligence shared details about MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin stash on social media platform X, revealing that the company holds about 107,000 BTC with Fidelity. Out of this, 79,000 BTC is kept in separate custody, including with Coinbase Prime.
The 107,000 BTC held with Fidelity is mixed with other clients’ BTC, managed under Fidelity Custody. The remaining 79,000 BTC, held separately with Coinbase Prime, is under a new entity specifically for MicroStrategy.
Fidelity Custody combines client funds from various sources, including MicroStrategy and the FBTC exchange-traded fund (ETF). Currently, Fidelity Custody holds over 176,000 BTC, valued at over $9 billion. This is the first time these addresses have been publicly identified.
This news comes after Arkham Intelligence recently uncovered on-chain addresses linked to several spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the US. They had previously identified addresses related to entities like the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) and Robinhood.
