According to Moon Inc.’s head of Bitcoin strategy, Jesse Myers, companies could end up owning half of all Bitcoin by 2045. That’s about 10.5 million coins. He made the remark in an X thread on May 23. His forecast has sparked a debate over how much crypto firms really will hold. Some worry the math is too wild. Others think it points to a bigger shift in how capital moves.
Corporate Bitcoin Hoard On The Rise
Based on reports, companies and ETFs now control roughly 3.23 million BTC. That’s about 15% of the total 21 million supply. At today’s price, that stash is worth around $348.25 billion. Myers says “Bitcoin Treasury Companies” will push that share up to 50%. He thinks half the coins will sit in corporate wallets rather than retail hands or government coffers.
Strategy will own $70T of #Bitcoin in 20 years, making it by far the most valuable company in the history of the world.
Bitcoin Treasury Companies will hold 50% of all BTC, way more than most Bitcoiners are prepared for.

Strategy’s Ambitious Bet
According to filings tracked by Saylor Tracker, Strategy holds 576,320 BTC. That stash is worth about $62.24 billion right now. Myers says if Bitcoin keeps rising, Strategy could see its holdings hit $70 trillion by 2045. To reach that number, each unit would need to trade for more than $120 million—a rise of over 1,000× from today. That’s a huge climb in just two decades.
To set the stage, there is $1000T of asset value in the world.

Big Pool Of Global Assets
Myers points out there’s about $1,000 trillion in assets across the world. Bitcoin makes up just 0.2% of that total, he says. He also notes $318 trillion sits in bonds that might flow into digital currency over time. If even a slice of that bond pile hunts for a “hard money” store of value, Myers figures it will boost demand for BTC.

New Players Joining In
On April 24, Strike founder Jack Mallers launched Twenty One Capital. This new Bitcoin treasury company has backing from Tether, SoftBank and Cantor Fitzgerald. Its goal is to offer a “capital-efficient” way for investors to gain Bitcoin exposure. Even so, firms like this will need to find big pools of cash and move carefully in markets that aren’t always deep enough for huge buys.
Myers’s view stirs plenty of questions. Will bond managers really shift large chunks of money into Bitcoin? Can companies add millions of coins without sending prices through the roof? And how will rules from regulators shape this corporate buying spree?
We’ll be watching new SEC filings, fund flow reports and any signals on digital-asset rules. Those clues will tell us whether Myers is being visionary or simply dreaming big.
