Publicly traded companies are steadily becoming major players in Bitcoin accumulation, surpassing even spot ETFs in net additions over recent quarters. Unlike the highly reactive nature of ETF flows, these corporate purchases are long-term, often held on balance sheets as strategic assets.
According to a post by respected crypto analyst Ecoinometrics, public companies have added more Bitcoin to their balance sheets over the past three quarters than U.S. spot ETFs. These sustained purchases suggest a trend of structural demand, as corporate treasuries continue accumulating BTC with a long-term outlook.
Data from Bitcoin Treasuries shows that public companies now hold 757,593 BTC, valued at approximately $78.67 billion, representing 3.6% of the total BTC supply.
MicroStrategy remains the leader, purchasing an additional 133,988 BTC this year alone, with 26,695 BTC added in just the last month. Other notable increases in 2025 include:
These figures reflect growing institutional confidence in BTC as a strategic reserve asset.
While public companies lead in new accumulation, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs still hold more overall BTC. The top 12 ETFs combined hold 1,211,938 BTC, valued at around $125.85 billion, accounting for 5.77% of total BTC supply.
However, ETF flows have been more mixed this year:
These fluctuations highlight the more reactive nature of ETFs compared to corporate treasury strategies.
Unlike ETFs that may adjust holdings based on short-term investor sentiment, corporations typically treat Bitcoin as a long-term strategic asset. This difference matters:
The result: corporate accumulation gradually removes BTC from circulation, creating structural demand that can support long-term price growth.
Here’s how Bitcoin has performed recently:
| Timeframe | Price Change |
|---|---|
| Last 6 Months | +7.52% |
| Year-to-Date | +11.1% |
| Last 30 Days | +8.99% |
| Last 14 Days | +0.25% |
| Last 7 Days | -4.09% |
| Last 24 Hours | -1.49% |
As public companies continue to increase their BTC holdings quietly but consistently, their role in shaping Bitcoin’s long-term market structure is becoming more significant. These moves may not generate the daily headlines that ETF launches do—but they represent a foundational shift in Bitcoin’s role as a treasury asset.
The next time volatility strikes, it might be the public companies—not ETFs—that provide the bedrock of long-term support.
Public companies hold about 757,593 BTC, worth around $78.67 billion, or 3.6% of total BTC supply.
MicroStrategy is the largest with 580,250 BTC, making it the biggest corporate Bitcoin holder.
The 5 phases: Innovation, Early Adoption, Institutional Entry, Corporate Adoption, and Mass Adoption.
Corporate holders create “sticky” demand, reducing circulating supply, which better supports long-term BTC prices.
