    Hyperbitcoinization Begins? Why Corporations Are Racing to Drain Bitcoin Supply

    Story Highlights
    • Corporations Drive Bitcoin Demand Surge: With over 858,000 BTC held by public firms, a supply shock may trigger a major shift in global finance.

    • Hyperbitcoinization in Sight: As companies adopt BTC as a treasury reserve, crypto analysts warn this could mark the decline of fiat dominance.

    Could corporations trigger the end of fiat currency? Crypto analyst Adam Livingston thinks so, and he’s not alone.

    In a bold prediction, Livingston warns that the corporate rush to accumulate Bitcoin is creating a massive demand shock. The supply squeeze could soon push BTC into uncharted territory and force a dramatic shift in global finance.

    Corporations Are Stacking Bitcoin Faster Than Ever

    According to Livingston, public companies now hold over 858,850 BTC, worth more than $93 billion, about 4.09% of the total Bitcoin supply.

    “Most of the newly mined Bitcoin is now going straight to corporate treasuries,” Livingston stated on X.

    This surge is being led by giants like MicroStrategy, which owns around 597,325 BTC (over $64.9 billion). The company’s strategy is clear:

    • Issue more shares
    • Use the funds to buy BTC
    • Increase BTC-per-share
    • Boost stock value
    • Repeat the cycle

    Livingston calls this a “Bitcoin flywheel,” a feedback loop that turns stock dilution into Bitcoin accumulation, undermining fiat currencies in the process.

    Bitcoin Mining Supply Is Shrinking, Fast

    Miners are no longer selling their rewards. The current BTC block reward stands at 3.125 BTC, and it’s set to halve again in 2028.

    This means:

    • New supply is slowing
    • Corporate demand is accelerating
    • Bitcoin scarcity is intensifying

    Livingston emphasizes that this imbalance is unsustainable, and a massive price breakout is inevitable.

    Bitcoin Reserves on Exchanges Hit Record Low

    CryptoQuant data shows that the total Bitcoin reserves across exchanges are now at just 2.4 million BTC.

    At the current buying pace, Livingston warns,

    “This entire reserve could be depleted within months.”

    With CFOs treating BTC as a strategic reserve asset, demand from institutions may soon leave retail investors sidelined.

    The Final Phase: Hyperbitcoinization?

    Livingston’s forecast goes beyond a simple bull market.

    He believes this is the early stage of hyperbitcoinization a financial revolution where Bitcoin becomes the preferred store of value over fiat.As regulations legitimize BTC as a treasury asset, more companies will jump in. Once that phase is over, the “early adopter” window will close forever.
