Bitcoin News Today: Trump's Bitcoin Reserve Mandate Fuels 35% Q2 Corporate Accumulation Spike

As of mid-2025, corporate adoption of Bitcoin has surged, with at least 35 companies now holding over 1,000 BTC each, a significant increase compared to earlier this year [1]. This trend marks a broadening of Bitcoin’s institutional appeal, as Fidelity Digital Assets notes that acquisitions are no longer concentrated among a handful of major firms. Over 278 public entities have added Bitcoin to their balance sheets, more than doubling in number from earlier quarters, with the U.S. leading adoption, followed by Canada and the U.K. [1]. The quarterly accumulation of Bitcoin by corporations spiked 35% in Q2 2025 compared to Q1, reflecting both increased volume and a wider range of participants [1].

The acceleration in corporate buying coincides with a key policy shift: President Trump’s executive order mandating the creation of a national Bitcoin reserve. Analysts view this as a catalyst, prompting private firms to align their strategies with potential regulatory clarity and long-term asset allocation trends [1]. Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s total market cap briefly surpassed Amazon’s valuation, underscoring the growing influence of institutional capital in reshaping the cryptocurrency landscape [1].

Market dynamics further highlight the stakes. Open interest in Bitcoin futures remains near record highs, signaling heightened positioning among major players despite the asset’s recent range-bound price action [1]. Analysts suggest this buildup reflects anticipation for a pivotal price movement, though the direction remains uncertain. The surge in corporate participation contrasts with earlier skepticism, as companies increasingly treat Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset. However, the market’s volatility and regulatory uncertainties persist as challenges, even as institutional adoption gains momentum.
