Magnificent 7 firms, including Amazon and Microsoft, have a 70% chance of investing in Bitcoin by 2025, signalling a corporate crypto shift.
Context
According to predictions from Kalshi , users believe there is a 70% likelihood that a Magnificent 7 company — including tech giants like Amazon or Microsoft — will invest in Bitcoin by the end of 2025. This speculation comes amid MicroStrategy’s continued success in Bitcoin investments. Earlier this year, MicroStrategy reported Bitcoin holdings worth approximately $41 billion, representing 2.1% of the cryptocurrency’s total supply. Despite a surge in MicroStrategy’s share price by nearly 500% this year, broader corporate interest in Bitcoin remains tepid.
Evidence
Pending intelligence enrichment.
Analysis
Tesla’s landmark $1.5 billion Bitcoin purchase in 2021 initially fuelled expectations that other major companies would follow suit, but such enthusiasm did not materialise. Recent corporate shareholder meetings reflect this hesitance: Microsoft investors overwhelmingly rejected a proposal to consider Bitcoin investments, and a similar proposal from Amazon shareholders is unlikely to gain traction. While MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor believes Bitcoin could become a part of corporate discussions, he does not foresee widespread adoption in the near future.

Bitcoin adoption among corporations remains a divisive and highly debated topic. While advocates point to the remarkable success stories of MicroStrategy, which has amassed $41 billion in Bitcoin holdings, and Tesla’s landmark $1.5 billion investment in 2021, widespread corporate uptake has yet to materialise. Many companies remain sceptical of Bitcoin’s value proposition, viewing it as a speculative asset rather than a stable store of value.
Key Points
- Kalshi users estimate a 70% chance of a Magnificent 7 company investing in Bitcoin by 2025.
- Despite MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin success, corporate adoption remains limited among major non-crypto firms.
Actions
Pending intelligence enrichment.
