This move is not just a financial flex but a strategic statement, challenging established players like Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) in the race to accumulate Bitcoin as a core asset.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Twenty One Capital\u2019s strategy suggests confidence in Bitcoin\u2019s long-term value, leveraging its institutional backing to capitalize on market fluctuations. Unlike Strategy, which has faced challenges with stock issuance inefficiencies (e.g., only $10.7 million in Bitcoin purchased on March 17, 2025), Twenty One Capital\u2019s streamlined approach through Tether\u2019s liquidity signals a nimble yet powerful strategy. Mallers emphasized this distinction in a recent interview, noting that his firm offers a purer Bitcoin investment vehicle compared to Strategy\u2019s broader financial maneuvers. This purchase underscores Twenty One Capital\u2019s ambition to redefine corporate Bitcoin adoption, blending fintech innovation with traditional finance.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_152729\" style=\"width: 1791px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-152729\" class=\"size-full wp-image-152729\" src=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2-3.jpg\" alt=\"A Massive Bitcoin Purchase Signals Strategic Ambition\" width=\"1781\" height=\"648\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-152729\" class=\"lazyload size-full wp-image-152729\" src=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2-3.jpg\" alt=\"A Massive Bitcoin Purchase Signals Strategic Ambition\" width=\"1781\" height=\"648\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-152729\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Bitcoin Treasuries<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Institutions_Riding_the_Bitcoin_Wave\"\/><b>Other Institutions Riding the Bitcoin Wave<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Twenty One Capital is not alone in its Bitcoin fervor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strategy, under Michael Saylor\u2019s leadership, remains the poster child for corporate Bitcoin adoption, holding 568,840 BTC, cost $39.41 billion as of May 11, 2025.

Their strategies often involve issuing bonds or stocks to fund Bitcoin purchases, as seen with Strategy\u2019s $21 billion stock offering and MicroStrategy\u2019s earlier $561 million bond sale.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Significantly, this trend reflects a growing acceptance of Bitcoin among public companies, with firms like MARA, Tesla, and Tether also maintaining periodic Bitcoin acquisitions. However, risks remain, as evidenced by Strategy\u2019s $670.8 million Q4 2024 loss, driven by its heavy Bitcoin bet. Twenty One Capital\u2019s entry intensifies this high-stakes game, potentially setting a new benchmark for corporate crypto investment.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/twenty-one-capital-goes-big-snaps-up-458-7m-in-bitcoin\/?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=twenty-one-capital-goes-big-snaps-up-458-7m-in-bitcoin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On May 14, 2025, Twenty One Capital, a Bitcoin-native financial firm backed by heavyweights like Tether, SoftBank, and Bitfinex, made headlines by acquiring 4,812 BTC for $458.7 million at an average price of $95,300 per Bitcoin.\u00a0 JUST IN: Jack Mallers Twenty One Capital and Tether buys 4,812 #Bitcoin for $458,700,000 \ud83e\udd2f pic.twitter.com\/SZFMZcDBAa \u2014 Bitcoin Magazine [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":21055,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true},"categories":[9],"tags":[21],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/6-1.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nft.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21054"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nft.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nft.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nft.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nft.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21054"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nft.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21054\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nft.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21055"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nft.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21054"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nft.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21054"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nft.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21054"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
