Holdings over time
Cumulative bitcoin held after each disclosed event. The line steps rather than slopes because treasury positions change on purchase dates, not continuously.
We have one dated figure for MercadoLibre so far, shown in the table below, and the table says where it came from. A chart needs at least two dated points, and we would rather show nothing than draw a trend through a single figure. This fills in as the company publishes, or as we backfill its earlier announcements.

About MercadoLibre
MercadoLibre operates the dominant online marketplace and payments network across Latin America, with a market capitalisation orders of magnitude larger than most companies on this list. Its bitcoin position, around 570 coins worth roughly $59.2 million after a purchase of 157.7 coins in March, is immaterial to its accounts and material to this table.
That asymmetry is the point of including it. A holding that would transform a small treasury company barely registers in MercadoLibre's quarterly results, so there is no accumulation programme to follow, no per share metric and no funding structure.
The company also has operational reasons to hold crypto that a pure treasury company does not: Mercado Pago has offered crypto trading to Brazilian and Mexican users, so some balance is inventory for a product rather than a bet on the price.
