Institutional interest in Bitcoin is growing rapidly, with 35 publicly traded companies now holding at least 1,000 BTC each on their balance sheets. This marks a significant increase from just 24 companies at the end of Q1 2025.
Institutional Appetite for Bitcoin Reaches New Heights
Fueled by favorable regulatory signals, including a recent U.S. executive order supporting the creation of a federal Bitcoin reserve, the trend of corporate accumulation is gaining momentum.
According to recent institutional data, these 35 firms now collectively hold over $116 billion worth of Bitcoin. This signals a major shift toward widespread corporate adoption, as BTC exposure becomes more distributed among multiple public entities rather than concentrated among a few tech giants.
Corporate Bitcoin investments rose 35% in Q2 2025 alone, up from 99,857 BTC to 134,456 BTC quarter-over-quarter.
U.S. Leads Global Bitcoin Holdings Among Public Entities
Currently, over 278 public entities hold Bitcoin, compared to just 124 at the beginning of the year. The United States leads the global tally with 94 Bitcoin-holding companies, followed by Canada (40) and the United Kingdom (19).
This broad geographic distribution highlights a global shift in treasury strategies as firms seek to hedge against inflation and diversify reserve assets.
Bitcoin Overtakes Amazon in Market Capitalization
Bitcoin’s rising demand has also propelled it to become the fifth-largest global asset by market cap, recently surpassing Amazon’s $2.3 trillion valuation. This milestone further validates Bitcoin as a serious asset class within institutional portfolios.
Bitcoin Futures Open Interest Near All-Time Highs
Another indicator of growing institutional activity is the surge in open interest in Bitcoin futures, which now exceeds $45 billion, approaching its historical peak. Elevated futures positioning typically reflects strong speculative interest and hedging activity, reinforcing expectations for a pivotal market shift ahead.
Bitcoin Is No Longer a Fringe Asset
The current trend clearly shows that Bitcoin is evolving into a mainstream financial instrument, no longer limited to early adopters or retail investors.
More public companies are buying Bitcoin than ever before — and at a faster pace.
As corporate treasuries continue to seek inflation-resistant assets, and regulatory clarity improves, Bitcoin adoption by institutions is likely to accelerate, reshaping the global financial landscape.
