MicroStrategy is the largest single Bitcoin holder among publicly traded companies.2.

This single company's holdings account for a substantial portion of the claimed 1.06 million total, making the overall figure plausible. The nature of the source as a comprehensive list implies that summing the holdings of all listed companies would verify the claim.Overall, the evidence is consistent across all provided sources, with no contradictions.
