In today’s crypto update, the top 100 publicly traded companies reached a major milestone in Bitcoin accumulation, collectively holding more than 1.26 million BTC on their balance sheets.
According to data from Bitcoin Treasuries, the top 100 publicly listed firms now own 1,264,867 (1.26 million) BTC. This represents about 6.02% of Bitcoin’s 21 million maximum supply. The development highlights the growing influence of corporations in Bitcoin ownership and further confirms the market’s shift from retail-driven participation toward institutional and treasury-led demand. Meanwhile, the entire public companies holding Bitcoin currently hold 1,267,720 (approximately 1.27 million) BTC.
Strategy Maintains Its Lead in the Corporate Bitcoin Race
Notably, Michael Saylor’s Strategy continues to dominate corporate Bitcoin ownership by a significant margin. Despite not announcing a new purchase this week, Strategy holds an impressive 847,363 BTC. Its holdings account for nearly two-thirds of all Bitcoin held by the top 100 public companies and roughly 4% of Bitcoin’s total supply.
Although Strategy remains comfortably ahead of its peers, several other firms have rapidly expanded their Bitcoin reserves.
Twenty One Capital ranks as the second-largest corporate holder with 43,514 BTC, narrowly surpassing Metaplanet, which currently holds 43,000 BTC as part of its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy.
Meanwhile, MARA Holdings controls 36,303 BTC, followed by Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company with 30,021 BTC and Bullish with 24,300 BTC. Strive, SpaceX, Coinbase Global, and Riot Platforms feature in the list with holdings of 19,864 BTC, 18,712 BTC, 16,492 BTC, and 15,680 BTC, respectively.
The fact that public companies alone now control more than 6% of Bitcoin’s eventual supply adds another layer to the asset’s scarcity narrative.
Riot Platforms Moves Bitcoin as Whales Continue Accumulating
Meanwhile, recent on-chain activity tracked by Onchain Lens suggests that some large holders may be repositioning their reserves.
Earlier today, Riot Platforms transferred 500 BTC worth $30.72 million to custody provider NYDIG. The transaction sparked speculation that the mining firm could be preparing to sell part of its holdings or rebalance its treasury strategy.
However, the transfer failed to trigger significant market concern, as whale activity continued to signal strong confidence in Bitcoin. According to Onchain Lens, an unidentified whale withdrew 733 BTC valued at approximately $45.18 million from Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume.
Large withdrawals from exchanges often indicate long-term accumulation, as investors typically move assets off exchanges when they intend to hold them rather than sell.
Bitcoin ETFs Return to Inflows After 10-Day Outflow Streak
Further, institutional sentiment also improved in the spot Bitcoin ETF market. Bitcoin ETFs recorded net inflows of $223.5 million, bringing an end to a 10-day streak of outflows and signaling renewed investor interest in the asset class.
Data from Farside showed that most Bitcoin ETFs registered no flows during yesterday’s trading session. Nevertheless, several major funds attracted substantial capital.
Fidelity led the group with inflows of $166 million, while Ark Invest followed with $91.8 million. Valkyrie and VanEck added $1.7 million and $4.4 million, respectively. BlackRock stood out as the only major issuer to record an outflow yesterday, losing $40.4 million during the session. Despite that decline, the broader market still posted a positive net inflow of $223.5 million for the day.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin has rebounded above the $62,000 mark, trading at $62,237 per coin, up 0.32% over the past 24 hours.
