Companies worldwide are slowly adding Bitcoin to their balance sheets. In 2025, several companies across the globe made bold moves by adding Bitcoin to their treasuries.

Global firms Betting Big on Bitcoin

GameStop led the way by buying over 4,000 BTC, followed by U.S. firm Strike with 1,500 BTC. Other companies like DDC Enterprise added 100 BTC. Around the world, firms from Argentina, Germany, the UK, Hong Kong, Sweden, Jordan, and South Korea also bought smaller amounts of Bitcoin, showing growing global interest.

Binance’s co-founder, Changpeng Zhao, shared that these companies are taking risks by entering crypto with their treasuries. In today’s world, avoiding crypto entirely might be the biggest risk of all, he says. 

When asked how much risk he is taking, CZ replied, “Too much,” and said that he is holding more fiat than he wants and plans to reduce that exposure.

Companies See Big Stock Gains

Indonesian fintech DigiAsia Corp’s stock nearly doubled, rising 91%, after announcing a $100 million raise to buy Bitcoin. Overall, corporate Bitcoin treasuries hold over 3 million Bitcoin, worth more than $342 billion.

Strategy is the world’s biggest corporate Bitcoin holder with $60.5 billion in BTC. It is just $8.3 billion shy of overtaking BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF, now valued at $68.9 billion.
