The number of public companies integrating Bitcoin into their balance sheets has significantly increased over the past year, reflecting growing institutional interest and regulatory changes.
Increase in Corporate Bitcoin Investments
The number of public companies holding Bitcoin has surged by 135% over the past year, totaling 151 companies by mid-2025. This trend reinforces Bitcoin's position as a strategic asset in corporate treasuries.
Driving Forces Behind Asset Growth
Bitcoin's inclusion in corporate strategies is influenced by changes in accounting standards, particularly FASB's fair value accounting. Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy, states, "We prioritize Bitcoin as a treasury strategy and are committed to acquiring additional BTC."
Future of Corporate Bitcoin Holdings
Corporate Bitcoin holdings now exceed 688,000 BTC, equivalent to $57 billion. Experts predict potential volatility if corporate strategies shift, as noted by Geoff Kendrick from Standard Chartered: "The buying pressure may eventually turn, and Bitcoin treasuries could become a source of downside price pressure and volatility."
The trend of increasing Bitcoin's share in corporate assets continues to evolve, as companies adapt to new regulations and changing market demands.
