Anchorage Digital Highlights Relationship with Strategy, Strengthening Institutional Bitcoin Commitment
Bitcoin began as an experiment in digital money. Today, it sits at the center of a new financial architecture, one where institutions are building long-term strategies around a scarce, programmable store of value. As adoption accelerates, the question is no longer whether institutions will hold Bitcoin, but how they will do so securely and at scale. Anchorage Digital, home to America’s first federally chartered digital asset bank, today highlighted its long-standing relationship with Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), one of the world’s largest institutional holders of Bitcoin. While Anchorage Digital has long served as a trusted trade and custody partner for Strategy, Anchorage Digital has also recently purchased STRC for its own balance sheet, reflecting its conviction in Bitcoin and commitment to building the infrastructure that enables institutions to participate in the digital asset ecosystem with confidence.
The relationship reflects a shared philosophy: disciplined, secure, and long-term operationalization of Bitcoin. Strategy selected Anchorage Digital as a premier trade and custody partner not only because of the firm's industry-leading security and federally regulated framework, but also because of the trust both companies place in each other’s expertise. Anchorage Digital provides institutions with fully regulated infrastructure to store, manage, and transact digital assets, removing complexity and operational risk while empowering institutions' long-term digital asset strategies.
"Strategy has set the bar for disciplined Bitcoin treasury management, and it’s an honor to support them with custody, trade, and operational infrastructure. Both our teams share a fundamental belief in Bitcoin as a long-term store of value, and it’s rare to work with another founder whose vision, rigor, and intellect we respect so deeply. Adding STRC to our balance sheet is both a testament to our confidence in Bitcoin and a signal to institutions that disciplined, secure exposure is achievable today." — Nathan McCauley, Co-Founder and CEO of Anchorage Digital
"Anchorage Digital’s federal charter, institutional-grade infrastructure, and unwavering focus on security gave us the confidence to collaborate with them for almost three years. They’re a differentiated custodian that understands how to operationalize Bitcoin at scale, and that level of trust is critical to our treasury strategy. We respect Nathan and his team immensely and are proud to work alongside them in advancing Bitcoin adoption." — Michael Saylor, Founder and Executive Chairman of Strategy
This relationship underscores the growing maturity of institutional digital asset adoption. Anchorage Digital continues to provide regulated trading, custody, and operational support for large-scale Bitcoin holders, helping firms navigate complex compliance requirements while maintaining the flexibility and security required for long-term strategy.
"At the end of the day, this isn’t about short-term trading or speculation," added McCauley. "It’s about building a foundation where institutions can hold, manage, and grow Bitcoin responsibly for decades to come."
