Corporate Bitcoin Holdings Surge in Q2 Amid Record Accumulation

According to Cointelegraph, corporate interest in Bitcoin reached unprecedented levels in the second quarter of 2025, with companies adding a record 159,107 BTC to their balance sheets. This addition, valued at over $17.6 billion at current prices, marks a significant 23.13% increase from the previous quarter. As a result, total corporate Bitcoin holdings have risen to 847,000 BTC, representing approximately 4% of the total capped supply of 21 million. The total value of these holdings surged to $91 billion by the end of Q2, based on Bitcoin’s closing price of $107,754, reflecting a 60.93% price increase from the previous quarter. Since then, Bitcoin has continued its upward trajectory, reaching a new all-time high above $112,000. The number of public companies holding Bitcoin also saw a substantial increase, with 46 new firms entering the market, bringing the total to 125—a 58.23% rise quarter-on-quarter. Leading this trend is Strategy, which has amassed a significant Bitcoin reserve of 597,325 coins. Under the leadership of Bitcoin advocate Michael Saylor, Strategy has aggressively pursued Bitcoin accumulation through convertible notes and at-the-market equity offerings. This strategy has also positively impacted the company's stock performance, which has risen 43% year-to-date, significantly outperforming the S&P 500's 6.4% gain over the same period. Bitcoin miner MARA Holdings follows as the second-largest corporate Bitcoin holder, with 49,940 BTC on its balance sheet. The company's shares have appreciated by more than 10% year-to-date. New entrants are also making notable moves in the Bitcoin treasury space. Twenty One, for instance, launched with a $685 million capital raise and quickly invested over $450 million into Bitcoin. In Japan, Metaplanet has emerged as a dominant force, surpassing well-known companies like Toyota and Sony in Tokyo's trading volume while accumulating 13,350 BTC. GameStop also made headlines with its first Bitcoin purchase, adding 4,710 BTC to its holdings, highlighting the growing trend of non-crypto-native firms entering the Bitcoin space. Additionally, Trump Media has filed to raise $2.5 billion for further Bitcoin acquisitions. In London, the BTC Company, formerly known as Vinanz, raised 1.5 million pounds ($2 million) through the issuance of 11.5 million ordinary shares to fund additional Bitcoin purchases. Despite its aggressive accumulation strategy, the company's stock, listed on the London Stock Exchange, has faced challenges, declining over 42% year-to-date and dropping more than 7% in the past 24 hours.
