Bitcoin treasury companies lose $80 billion as their business model collapses

The value of companies that invested heavily in bitcoin has plummeted by over $80 billion since mid-2024. An analysis by Financial Times of the 50 companies with the largest bitcoin holdings revealed that their combined market capitalization has dropped from $150 billion in July 2025 to $67 billion. Many of these companies, including a Spanish coffee chain, a Japanese clothing store, and a US battery manufacturer, were inspired by Michael Saylor's Strategy company, which invested heavily in bitcoin in 2020.

However, the trend appears to be temporary, with many companies selling their tokens and returning to their original businesses.
