In late December, MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor proposed a US cryptocurrency policy framework that includes creating a national bitcoin reserve.

In January, CleanSpark became the fourth miner with a bitcoin balance above 10,000 BTC. Rivals MARA Holdings, Riot Platforms and Hut 8 Mining had crossed that threshold earlier.

Later, it emerged that a proposal to allocate part of Meta’s liquid reserves to buying digital gold had been submitted to the board. Similar initiatives had previously come from shareholders of Microsoft and Amazon.

By the end of 2024, only 0.01% of public companies worldwide held bitcoin, according to OKG Research.
