Companies Ramp Up Bitcoin Purchases, Surpassing ETFs for Third Consecutive Quarter

Publicly traded companies are increasingly acquiring Bitcoin, exceeding investments in ETFs for the third quarter in a row.

Key Insights

  • Public companies currently possess around 4% of the total Bitcoin supply, while approximately 6.8% is held by ETFs.
  • Companies leveraging Bitcoin reserves aim to stand out and attract new capital and investor interest.

Publicly traded firms are significantly increasing their Bitcoin investments, surpassing American exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for the third consecutive quarter, as noted by CNBC.

In the last quarter ending June 30, the corporations raised their Bitcoin holdings by about 18%, effectively adding around 131,000 BTC. Meanwhile, ETF holdings saw a growth of 8%, approximately 111,000 BTC, according to Bitcoin Treasuries.net.

ETFs currently maintain the largest Bitcoin reserves among single entities, exceeding 1.4 million BTC, representing roughly 6.8% of Bitcoin’s capped supply of 21 million.

In the previous quarter, ETFs outpaced public companies in Bitcoin purchases, but since then, public firms have expanded their holdings while ETFs have lagged, even amidst market fluctuations related to U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff declarations. Despite such volatility, public companies have increased their Bitcoin assets by 4%, contrasting with the lower 2% growth among ETFs.
