MicroStrategy, the prominent business intelligence firm run by charismatic billionaire Michael Saylor, is the top corporate owner of the leading cryptocurrency by an enormous margin. 

As reported by U.Today, MicroStrategy's Bitcoin holdings have now eclipsed the $42 billion mark. 

Apart from MicroStrategy, other American companies are among the top Bitcoin holders. These companies include Marathon Digital, Riot Platforms, Tesla, and Coinbase. 

Two Canadian companies (Hut 8 Mining and Galaxy Digital) are also in the top 100.

BitFuFu, which recently reported owning 1,664 BTC, and Japanese public company Metaplanet are also among Bitcoin's top Asian holders in the corporate sector. As reported by U.Today, Metaplanet recently appeared among the most traded public companies in Japan.
