Corporate Bitcoin Treasuries Now Control Nearly 31% of Total BTC Supply

A new report has revealed that corporate and sovereign entities now hold nearly 1.64 million BTC—representing close to 31% of Bitcoin’s total supply, currently worth around $151 billion.

Key Highlights:

  • Public companies alone control over 819,000 BTC (~3.9%), with MicroStrategy leading by a wide margin at ~582,000 BTC.

  • Private firms and governments account for an additional 820,000 BTC, including nearly 198,000 BTC seized and held by the U.S. government.

  • Bitcoin ETFs and institutional funds like iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and Fidelity’s FBTC hold 662,707 BTC and 196,264 BTC, respectively.

What’s Fueling This Surge?

Institutional adoption is expanding rapidly—beyond ETFs and into direct corporate treasury holdings—driven by:

  • Strategic investment hedges against inflation.

  • Regulatory clarity and more secure custody solutions.

  • Mainstream acceptance among finance leaders and large enterprises.

Growing Risks

While institutional support boosts Bitcoin's legitimacy, experts warn about market centralization. With major entities buying in at prices above $90,000, any mass liquidation could trigger sharp sell-offs, impacting overall price stability.

Why This Matters:

This marks a major shift in Bitcoin’s landscape—from decentralized retail ownership to corporate custody. As more BTC gets locked in institutional treasuries, the network faces challenges around decentralization, liquidity, and market control.
