How could the XRP price react if the top 10 Fortune 500 companies decide to add XRP to their balance sheets?
Notably, as U.S. regulators provide greater clarity on crypto laws, more firms are showing interest in holding XRP as part of their corporate treasuries. Interestingly, multiple companies have already created or announced plans to create XRP treasuries.
Specifically, VivoPower committed millions in May 2025. Webus International followed with a $300 million plan in June, and Trident Digital Tech Holdings announced a $500 million purchase. Wellgistics Health added $50 million, and Evernorth made the biggest move yet with a $1 billion announcement last month.
The Fortune 500 Firms
While no large U.S.-based company has shown any interest in adopting XRP as a treasury asset, we recently analyzed what might happen to XRP’s price if the top ten firms on the Fortune 500 list decide to buy in.
For the uninitiated, the Fortune 500, published yearly by Fortune magazine, ranks America’s largest companies by total revenue.
In the 2024 edition, Walmart led with $648.1 billion in revenue. Amazon followed with $574.8 billion, while Apple took third place with $383.3 billion. UnitedHealth Group came next with $371.6 billion, and Berkshire Hathaway reported $364.5 billion.
Meanwhile, CVS Health earned $357.8 billion, ExxonMobil brought in $344.6 billion, Alphabet generated $307.4 billion, McKesson made $276.7 billion, and Cencora rounded out the top ten with $262.2 billion.
Notably, when companies invest, they typically use their profits rather than their total revenue. For context, revenue represents total sales, but firms must first cover costs like salaries, operations, and taxes.
What’s left as profit can either go back into the business, fund new investments, or be paid to shareholders through dividends. Some companies also borrow money or issue new shares to raise funds for investments.
XRP Price if Top 10 Fortune 500 Firms Invest 5% of Revenue
However, for this analysis, we presented a scenario where each of the top ten Fortune 500 firms decides to use 5% of their total revenue to buy XRP.
This would mean Walmart investing about $32.405 billion, Amazon putting in $28.74 billion, and Apple committing $19.165 billion. UnitedHealth Group would add $18.58 billion, and Berkshire Hathaway would contribute $18.225 billion. Including the others, the total investment would reach roughly $194.55 billion.
Notably, if these ten firms put $194.55 billion into XRP, the effect on the market would be massive. However, inflows like this don’t translate directly into a one-to-one increase in market value.
The crypto market usually reacts with a multiplier effect, where each dollar entering the market lifts the overall valuation by several times. In some past cases, XRP has seen multipliers as high as 272x the amount invested.
However, to stay realistic, we applied a conservative 10x multiplier. Under this assumption, a $194.55 billion inflow could boost XRP’s market cap by about $1.945 trillion. With XRP’s current market cap near $139 billion, this increase would push its total valuation to roughly $2.084 trillion.
Given XRP’s total supply of about 99.9 billion tokens, this $2.084 trillion valuation would put the XRP price at around $21 per token.
