The exchange still holds over $1.3 billion in crypto assets, with $153 million worth added in Q1 alone, most of it in Bitcoin. CFO Alesia Haas confirmed the firm remains committed to building its crypto treasury but has no interest in directly competing with its user base.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, other companies have leaned into MicroStrategy\u2019s model. Japan\u2019s Metaplanet, often dubbed \u201cAsia\u2019s MicroStrategy,\u201d has reportedly outperformed Saylor\u2019s firm in BTC returns. A growing number of miners and small-cap firms are also adopting this aggressive accumulation strategy, often financing their purchases through equity or debt sales.<\/p>\n<p>As Bitcoin\u2019s price continues to climb, the divide between high-risk accumulation and conservative treasury management is reshaping how institutions approach digital
