Investment companies holding Bitcoin-centric treasuries are leading the charge in global Bitcoin adoption, potentially propelling the premier cryptocurrency to a $200 trillion market value in the next ten years.
Entities and administrations globally are beginning to acknowledge Bitcoin’s distinctive financial attributes (BTC), as stated by Adam Back, co-founder and CEO of Blockstream and the creator of Hashcash.
“$MSTR and other treasury firms represent a market advantage created by the divergence between the bitcoin future and the existing fiat landscape,” Back remarked in an April 26 X post.
“A viable and expansive $100-$200 trillion trade ahead of hyperbitcoinization, ample enough for the majority of major listed corporations to transition to btc treasury,” he continued.
Hyperbitcoinization refers to the hypothetical future where Bitcoin rises to become the foremost global currency, supplanting fiat money due to its inflationary economics and increasing skepticism toward the traditional financial system.

The price of Bitcoin outpacing fiat inflation is the key factor behind global hyperbitcoinization, Back asserted, adding:
“Some believe treasury strategy is a fleeting inconvenience. I argue it’s a rational and enduring opportunity. But it’s not eternal; the driving force is Bitcoin’s price rising over four-year spans quicker than interest and inflation.”
Back’s remarks come almost two months after US President Donald Trump enacted an executive order to create a national Bitcoin reserve from BTC seized during government criminal investigations.

Global enterprises persist in Bitcoin acquisition
Ongoing Bitcoin investments from entities like Strategy, the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, could motivate additional global firms to emulate this path.
Strategy’s method is proving profitable, with the firm’s Bitcoin treasury yielding over $5.1 billion in profits since the start of 2025, as reported by co-founder Michael Saylor.
The Japanese investment firm Metaplanet, also known as “Asia’s MicroStrategy,” adopted a similar tactic, surpassing 5,000 BTC in total holdings on April 24, according to Cointelegraph.
As Asia’s top corporate Bitcoin holder, Metaplanet aims to secure 21,000 BTC by 2026.
US financial entities may also gain added assurance in adopting Bitcoin following the US Federal Reserve withdrew its 2022 guidance urging banks to avoid interactions with cryptocurrency. “Banks can now commence supporting Bitcoin,” Saylor stated in response to the guidance withdrawal.
“Banks will now be monitored through standard processes, indicating a more transparent regulatory climate for digital asset integration,” said Nexo analyst Iliya Kalchev to Cointelegraph.
