    Bill Morgan Reveals More Public Companies Adding XRP to Their Reserves

    Story Highlights
    • More public companies are adding XRP to their reserves, citing speed, low fees, and global transfer capabilities.

    • New disclosures reveal firms like Quantum Biopharma and Worksport Ltd increasing XRP holdings alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum.

    • Ripple’s cleared fundraising path and lawsuit victory remove barriers, fueling corporate confidence in XRP as a strategic asset.

    A quiet but steady shift is happening in corporate finance. More public companies are now holding XRP in their balance sheets, joining Bitcoin and Ethereum as part of their long-term reserves. The move marks a growing interest in using XRP due to its speed, low costs, and ability to transfer money across borders almost instantly. With the SEC waiver, Ripple can now bypass legal hurdles that once limited its fundraising, opening doors to growth and expansion. 

    Here’s Bill Morgan’s list of top public companies holding XRP

    Bill Morgan Flags New Filings

    Crypto lawyer Bill Morgan has been tracking this trend through SEC filings. He recently pointed out that Quantum Biopharma Ltd, which already held Bitcoin, Dogecoin, and Solana, has now added XRP and Ethereum. 

    Another example is Worksport Ltd, which holds both Bitcoin and XRP. This firm holds both Bitcoin and XRP, and recently doubled its Bitcoin stash. It launched a corporate cryptocurrency strategy back in December 2024 as a hedge against inflation and currency devaluation. Interestingly, it’s already up 15% on its XRP holdings.

    Morgan says he has spotted four such companies in just one week, on top of many others revealed over the past few months. For him, it’s a sign that XRP’s corporate adoption is no longer a one-off experiment but part of a broader pattern.

    Ripple’s Giant XRP Pile

    Ripple Labs isn’t a public company, but it controls a massive 40.7 billion XRP, about 41% of the total supply. If Ripple officially treated this as a treasury reserve, like MicroStrategy does with Bitcoin, it could tighten supply and potentially send prices higher. It would also signal to institutions that XRP is worth holding as a strategic asset.

    XRP Over Bitcoin 

    The end of the long Ripple vs. SEC lawsuit has cleared a major roadblock. Without the legal uncertainty, it’s easier for top public companies holding XRP to add XRP to their balance sheets. Some see it as a way to diversify away from Bitcoin and Ethereum.

    Moreover, corporate investments in altcoins other than Ethereum have jumped from $200 million in early 2025 to over $11 billion by July. XRP has been one of the main beneficiaries. Its fast settlement, low transaction costs, and global network through RippleNet make it a strong candidate for cross-border payments and liquidity management.

    Earning on Corporate XRP

    Even though the XRP Ledger doesn’t have native staking, companies can still put their holdings to work. Options include institutional lending programs, providing liquidity on exchanges, and using platforms like Flare, which allow XRP to be wrapped for smart contract use. These tools turn XRP from a passive reserve into an active, income-generating asset.

    FAQs

    Why are corporations adding XRP to their balance sheets?

    XRP’s speed (3-5 sec transactions), low fees (<$0.01), and post-SEC legal clarity make it ideal for cross-border payments and inflation hedging.

    How much XRP does Ripple control?

    Ripple holds 40.7B XRP (41% of supply). Treating it as formal reserves could tighten supply and boost prices, like MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin strategy.

    Can companies earn yield on XRP holdings?

    Yes – via institutional lending, exchange liquidity provision, or wrapping XRP on platforms like Flare for DeFi/smart contract use despite no native staking.
