Bitcoin News Today: Institutional Bitcoin buying surges 35% in Q2 as total holdings surpass 10% of supply

Institutional Bitcoin accumulation reached a new inflection point in July 2025 as major firms across sectors intensified their purchasing efforts, signaling a broader shift toward crypto as a strategic treasury asset. Companies including BTC AB, The Smarter Web Company, H100 Group, and Strategy collectively added thousands of Bitcoin to their reserves, with public and private entities now holding 897,086 BTC and 412,470 BTC, respectively. This surge follows a 35% quarterly rise in corporate accumulation during Q2 2025 compared to Q1, reflecting heightened institutional participation [2].

BTC AB, Sweden’s first pure-play Bitcoin treasury firm, purchased 10 BTC for $1.2 million, increasing its total holdings to 166 BTC. The Smarter Web Company, under its “10 Year Plan,” added 225 BTC, bringing its stash to 1,825 BTC, with reported yields of 43,787% year-to-date and 189% in the last 30 days. Semler Scientific, led by Joe Burnett, acquired 175 BTC for $21 million, surpassing 5,000 BTC in total holdings and achieving a year-to-date yield of 31.3%—one of the strongest among mid-cap institutional holders. H100 Group expanded its holdings to 628.22 BTC after purchasing 117.93 BTC at an average price of $119,687 per coin, while Volcon Holdings disclosed a $375 million Bitcoin position comprising 3,183 BTC, with strategic put options enabling further accumulation at discounted prices [1].

Strategy, the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, led the charge by adding 6,220 BTC for $739.8 million, bringing its total to 607,770 BTC—an average purchase price of $71,756 per coin. The firm’s year-to-date yield stands at 20.8%, reinforcing its status as a dominant player in the institutional adoption wave. Matador Technologies, aiming to accumulate 1% of Bitcoin’s total supply, secured a $100 million facility, with $10.5 million already deployed into BTC.

The collective holdings of these institutions now exceed 617,000 BTC, contributing to a milestone where institutional ownership surpasses 10% of Bitcoin’s total supply [5]. This shift is driven by macroeconomic factors, regulatory clarity, and Bitcoin’s emergence as a store of value. Despite short-term price volatility, with Bitcoin trading near $117,000 in July 2025, institutions continue to capitalize on lower entry points, supported by tools like spot ETFs and corporate treasury strategies [1].

Analysts note that institutional accumulation is fostering more stable price dynamics compared to historical retail-driven volatility, suggesting a maturation of Bitcoin’s market [4]. Over 100 publicly traded companies now hold Bitcoin, with MARA Holdings and miners like Hut 8 joining the trend. However, sustainability remains a question as firms like Strategy raise capital through equity offerings to fund further purchases, testing the long-term viability of aligning corporate value with Bitcoin’s price [8].

Bitcoin’s institutional adoption is reshaping its role in global finance, with sustained buying pressure potentially amplifying its price trajectory. As the market awaits regulatory developments and broader use cases, the convergence of corporate strategy and crypto asset management underscores Bitcoin’s growing integration into mainstream portfolios.
