In the U.S. stock market, the "Magnificent 7" (abbreviated as M7) has become a well-known concept, consisting of seven major tech giants: Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, NVIDIA, and Tesla. As of June 2025, the total market capitalization of M7 reached approximately $14 trillion, accounting for more than 30% of the S&P 500 index market value, and its global influence profoundly shapes the landscape of the tech economy.

They occupy a core position in Web3 applications and infrastructure through blockchain technology, and some listed companies have directly purchased Crypto Assets as a strategic reserve.

With the maturation of blockchain technology and the increase in global adoption rates, these companies are reshaping the future of finance and technology.

With the emergence of publicly traded companies in the Crypto Assets sector and an increasing number of companies incorporating Crypto Assets into their strategic reserves, many companies have demonstrated the potential to reshape the digital economy landscape.

Next, we will focus on publicly traded companies related to Crypto Assets, analyzing their core businesses, market positioning, and impact on the digital economy to see which companies have the potential to become the "coin stock seven heroes."
