Other significant entrants include Twenty One Capital, a Bitcoin-focused investment firm. Including Japan’s Metaplanet Inc., which has been dubbed “Asia’s MicroStrategy” for its similar treasury approach.

Global Trend Driven by ETFs and Institutional Access

The momentum in 2025 is largely fueled by the rise of spot Bitcoin ETFs and improved regulatory clarity across major markets. As traditional investors gain exposure through regulated channels. Corporations have followed suit, integrating Bitcoin as part of their broader capital strategies. ETFs and other funds now hold the largest share of all Bitcoin in treasuries. 

It is followed closely by public companies and governments. According to the latest data, total Bitcoin held across all treasuries has reached 4.05 million BTC. It represents over 13.68% growth in just 30 days. In fact, this growing accumulation reflects an expanding belief that Bitcoin is becoming a strategic hedge against inflation. Due to currency devaluation and traditional financial volatility.

Corporate Confidence Strengthens Despite Market Volatility

Despite periodic price swings, corporate conviction in Bitcoin continues to deepen. Many firms have shifted from cautious pilot programs to long-term holding strategies. They are viewing Bitcoin as a superior store of value compared to cash reserves. As global monetary policies tighten and inflation concerns persist. More corporations appear to be following the same playbook. They are reducing exposure to fiat currencies and reallocating capital into digital assets.

With over $105 billion now held by public companies. Consequently, Bitcoin’s role in corporate finance has evolved from a speculative asset to a recognized financial instrument. The trend shows no sign of slowing and if adoption continues at this pace. 2026 could mark the year Bitcoin becomes a standard fixture on global balance sheets.
