Bitcoin purchases by public companies have been one consistent source of demand. Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), which pioneered corporate Bitcoin investing, purchased another 25k Bitcoin (~$2.4bn) during April. Strategy now holds roughly 3% of the circulating supply valued at more than $50bn. Separately, a consortium including Tether, Bitfinex, Softbank, and Cantor Fitzgerald announced the creation of Twenty One Capital, a new company initially capitalized with 42,000 Bitcoin. At that size Twenty One Capital would have the third-largest Bitcoin portfolio among public companies, after Strategy and Bitcoin miner MARA. The company will go public through a SPAC (special-purpose acquisition company), which currently trades as Cantor Equity Partners (ticker: CEP).

The initiative will be led by SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce. Peirce, even though she doesn’t quite agree with it, has earned the nickname «Crypto Mom» from the industry for her support of crypto and her sharp opposition to the agency’s enforcement-driven approach under former Chair Gensler.
Below, we guide you through the powers the SEC has over cryptocurrencies, how it has used that authority thus far, and what its stepped-up enforcement within this space means for the future of these digital assets.
The Task Force’s focus will be to help the Commission draw clear regulatory lines, provide realistic paths to registration, craft sensible disclosure frameworks, and deploy enforcement resources judiciously.
In a May 20 hearing discussing oversight of the SEC, Atkins reiterated his pledge to make regulating digital assets a “key priority” while chair. In response to questions from North Carolina Representative Chuck Edwards, the SEC chair did not directly answer how much of the regulator’s funds were used to support the crypto task force headed by Commissioner Hester Peirce, and said its findings were “still under development.”
The Task Force will operate within the statutory framework provided by Congress and will coordinate the provision of technical assistance to Congress as it makes changes to that framework. The Task Force will coordinate with federal departments and agencies, including the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and state and international counterparts.
