The tracker refreshed a roughly $1. 9 billion valuation even though filings still describe the stack as closing-dependent. Editor-in-ChiefCryptoSlateJul. 30, 2026at 3:20 pm GMT2 min readBitcoinTreasuries presents the 30,021 BTC as a live reserve without a proposed or pro forma qualifier. SEC filings describe the coins as closing-dependent contributions rather than completed corporate holdings. The July 8 reset removed the original private-placement closing requirements while talks continued. As of July 30, BitcoinTreasuries ranked Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company fifth among public companies, displaying 30,021 BTC worth about $1. 9 billion. Its live profile labels the amount “BTC Holdings” and “Bitcoin Reserve,” although the transaction documents describe the coins as contributions intended for a corporate treasury that has not closed on its announced terms. The picture changed on July 8. Cantor Equity Partners I (CEPO), a publicly traded SPAC, and BSTR scrapped the deal’s original terms and began discussing anew structure. The private placements fell away, CEPO postponed its shareholder meeting indefinitely, and investors got their redemption shares back. BSTR and CEPO are still talking, though the financing behind the 30,021-BTC figure has unraveled. From promised contributions to a live rankingTheoriginal July 2025 announcementdescribed 25,000 BTC to be contributed by founding shareholders and another 5,021 BTC from an in-kind private investment. The prospective combined company was expected to trade as BSTR after closing. A May 29, 2026 registrationstatementpreserved that structure. It said the public company expected to hold at least 30,021. 11 BTC at closing, including 25,000 BTC from the seller and 5,021. 11 BTC from private-placement investors. BSTR Holdings (Cayman) and those investors were the expected contributors; the public issuer was due to receive the assets through the closing mechanics.

The site treats the contribution-based stack as a reserve without a purchase history, and the profile carries no visible proposed or pro forma qualifier. The tracker’spublic editorial policysays its data draws on regulatory filings, audited financial statements, company disclosures, on-chain heuristics and third-party providers. The policy does not explain whether closing-dependent contributions qualify as present holdings. Private ownership remains possible: the seller and prospective investors may still hold the coins. The SEC disclosures, however, do not establish that BSTR Holdings, CEPO, BSTR Newco or the prospective combined issuer currently owns or controls the 30,021-BTC stack. AJuly 9 prospectus supplementdisclosed neither agreed replacement terms nor completed Bitcoin contributions. BitcoinTreasuries has put a future promise in the same column as coins already sitting on company balance sheets. For now, BSTR’s 30,021-BTC entry looks more like a deal waiting to take shape than a finished corporate treasury. 1H-0. 13%24H+0. 91%7D-0. 35%30D+10. 87%60D-12. 19%90D-17. 86%Bitcoinis+0. 91%over the past 24 hours and currently sits at rank #1by market cap.
