Institutional Bitcoin Holdings Soar to $90B as Supply Shrinks and Adoption Accelerates

Institutional confidence in Bitcoin has reached a new milestone, with public companies now holding over 800,000 BTC, valued at a staggering $90 billion, according to the latest data from BitcoinTreasuries. This marks a 28% increase in corporate participation, signaling the most significant wave of institutional adoption the crypto market has ever witnessed.

Corporate Bitcoin Holdings Hit All-Time High

Leading the charge is Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, with over 580,000 BTC on its books—worth more than $62 billion. The firm has evolved from a traditional software company into a Bitcoin-centric investment vehicle, with its stock soaring 500% in the past year. Bitcoin itself rose over 130% in the same timeframe, highlighting the asset’s growing appeal in corporate finance.

New Entrants: GameStop and Trump Media

Recent high-profile entries include GameStop, which disclosed a $500 million Bitcoin acquisition, and Trump Media and Technology Group, which announced plans to raise $2.5 billion to build a Bitcoin treasury. The latter move reflects a broader strategy to diversify beyond its flagship platform, Truth Social. Trump Media’s crypto strategy includes holding BTC alongside its $759 million in cash reserves, with custody managed by Anchorage Digital and Crypto.com. However, the announcement triggered an 8% dip in DJT shares, revealing market skepticism or short-term volatility in response to bold crypto bets.

Governments, ETFs, and Smart Contracts Join In

Beyond corporate balance sheets, governments, ETFs, and DeFi protocols have also been stacking sats. This surge in long-term holding has pushed total institutional Bitcoin reserves to over 3.37 million BTC. In the past 30 days alone, these holdings grew by 3.29%, further straining available supply and adding upward pressure on prices.

Institutional entities—including public firms, ETFs, and private corporations—are now locking in sizable Bitcoin positions, removing supply from the open market. Smart contracts and DeFi ecosystems, although smaller in comparison, remain vital players in this tightening cycle.

Bitcoin Emerges as a Strategic Treasury Asset

This shift reflects Bitcoin’s evolution from a speculative asset to a recognized store of value, comparable to gold. The market narrative is changing: institutions are no longer sitting on the sidelines—they are entering decisively, many treating Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty.

As the available supply dwindles, continued accumulation by public companies and state actors is expected to drive further bullish momentum. Bitcoin is no longer a fringe bet—it is becoming an essential pillar of modern financial strategy.
