Bitcoin News Today: Top 5 firms hold 771,551 BTC showing 4% of total supply in corporate treasuries

Corporate entities continue to expand their Bitcoin treasuries in 2025, with the top five holding 771,551 BTC, a figure that underscores growing institutional confidence in the cryptocurrency as a financial asset. These firms range from aggressive buyers and miners to pure-play Bitcoin-native companies, each adopting a distinct strategy to accumulate and hold Bitcoin [1][2].

MicroStrategy, now rebranded as Strategy, remains the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, with 597,325 BTC in its treasury. This represents nearly 81.4% of the combined holdings of the top five companies [3]. The firm's co-founder, Michael Saylor, has championed Bitcoin as a corporate store of value, and the company has financed its Bitcoin purchases through equity sales, bond issuances, and borrowing. Saylor has indicated that Strategy aims to hold up to 7% of Bitcoin’s total supply in the future, though he has also stressed the importance of decentralized ownership [4]. At current prices, the company's Bitcoin holdings are valued at approximately $72 billion, and its stock price is heavily influenced by Bitcoin’s price movements [4].

MARA Holdings and Riot Platforms, both mining companies, have built their Bitcoin treasuries by producing the cryptocurrency rather than purchasing it. MARA’s Bitcoin stash grew by 170% in one year, reaching close to 50,000 BTC. Meanwhile, Riot Platforms, with nearly 20,000 BTC, focuses on long-term growth through AI-powered mining technology [2]. Unlike MicroStrategy, these companies generate Bitcoin organically, reducing their reliance on external financing.

Twenty One Capital, a newer entrant with 43,500 BTC, operates as a Bitcoin-native public company, backed by major names like Tether and SoftBank. It offers investors direct exposure to its Bitcoin holdings through its stock and has been praised for its transparency. The firm is often compared to MicroStrategy but is positioned as a more Wall Street-friendly alternative [2].

Bitcoin Standard Treasury (BSTR) is another fast-rising player with around 30,000 BTC. It has adopted a more aggressive accumulation strategy, frequently making large purchases that generate market buzz. Its approach blends corporate Bitcoin treasury management with social media-driven hype, drawing in retail investors and traders [2].

These companies illustrate the diverse ways in which public entities are integrating Bitcoin into their financial strategies. While MicroStrategy’s high-risk, all-in approach has made it the most controversial, others like MARA and Riot prefer a steady, self-sustaining growth model. Meanwhile, firms like Twenty One Capital and BSTR are exploring new ways to attract both institutional and retail investors to Bitcoin through transparency and strategic marketing [2].

Analysts highlight the importance of liquidity in successful Bitcoin treasury strategies. Brett Knoblauch, for example, has noted that without access to sufficient capital, firms cannot execute large-scale Bitcoin purchases [8]. Similarly, Benchmark analyst Mark Palmer has raised his price target for Strategy’s stock to $705, reflecting ongoing confidence in the firm’s Bitcoin-focused model [4].

The continued accumulation of Bitcoin by public companies is also reshaping market dynamics. According to data from AInvest and TradingView, corporate treasuries now hold over 791,662 BTC, valued at around $93 billion, representing nearly 4% of the circulating supply [7]. This trend suggests that Bitcoin is increasingly being viewed as a legitimate asset class within corporate finance, with significant implications for its price and adoption.

As more companies adopt Bitcoin treasury strategies, the market remains watchful for how these large-scale holdings might influence broader price action and sentiment. With the corporate landscape evolving rapidly, Bitcoin’s role as a strategic financial instrument is becoming more pronounced [4][5][7].
