According to asset management company Bitwise, the combined holdings of organizations investing in the first cryptocurrency have exceeded 1 million BTC, equivalent to approximately $117 billion. This means that corporate entities own approximately 4.87% of the total Bitcoin supply. Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley noted that these figures are a remarkable achievement, as interest in BTC is expressed not only by public companies but also by private funds and institutional investors.
Strategy remains the largest corporate holder, holding 640,250 BTC, worth approximately $71.9 billion. MARA Holdings ranks second, holding 53,250 BTC, worth approximately $5.9 billion. According to BTC Markets analyst Rachel Lucas, these data indicate that major crypto market players are not reducing their participation, but rather strengthening their positions.
Lucas emphasized that companies adding Bitcoin to their reserves are doing so not for quick profits, but for strategic reasons, viewing the cryptocurrency as a tool for long-term capital protection and asset diversification. She believes this trend will continue in the coming years, especially amid growing institutional investor interest and a declining market supply.
Earlier, the analytics platform CryptoQuant reported that the number of Bitcoins listed on crypto exchanges had fallen to its lowest levels since 2014. This figure indicates a continuing supply decline and a growing shortage of coins on the open market. A decrease in exchange volumes is typically perceived as a signal that investors are preferring to hold assets for the long term rather than preparing them for sale.
Thus, data from Bitwise and CryptoQuant demonstrates a general shift in Bitcoin ownership: more and more companies are viewing BTC as an element of corporate strategy and a store of value, rather than a speculative instrument. Against this backdrop, Bitcoin is gradually strengthening its status as a digital equivalent of gold, becoming an integral part of global financial portfolios.
