Bitcoin Holdings by Public Companies Top $85B, Doubling Year-Over-Year

The number of public companies holding Bitcoin has hit an all-time high, with 116 firms now collectively owning over 809,000 BTC — valued at approximately $85 billion — according to new data from Binance Research. This marks a 2.5x increase from the 312,200 BTC recorded a year ago.

Driving the surge are shifting U.S. policies under President Donald Trump, who has signaled strong support for digital assets by proposing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and easing regulatory pressure on crypto firms. These political developments, paired with the FASB’s introduction of fair-value accounting standards for crypto, have significantly lowered barriers for corporations looking to adopt Bitcoin as a treasury asset.

MicroStrategy continues to dominate, holding more than 70% of public-company BTC reserves. However, the market is becoming more diverse, with new entries like GameStop, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), and several Asian firms disclosing recent BTC acquisitions.

Though Bitcoin remains the overwhelming favorite, a few companies are exploring broader crypto exposure. SharpLink has amassed $425 million in Ethereum, while DeFi Development and Classover have added Solana. Chinese firm Webus is planning a $300 million XRP allocation — one of the largest altcoin treasury bets to date.

Beyond crypto, interest in blockchain-based real-world assets is also climbing. Tokenized RWAs have grown over 260% in 2025 alone, with the market expanding from $8.6 billion to over $23 billion, per Binance Research.

The data underscores a structural shift in corporate treasury strategy, as more firms embrace digital assets not only as speculative tools but as long-term balance sheet components.
