BITCOIN | ~35 Firms Hold Over 1,000 BTC as Corporate Bitcoin Investments Surge in Q3 2025

Bitcoin’s growing appeal among institutions is reflected in the rising number of companies holding significant amounts of BTC.

According to on-chain data compiled by blockchain analytics platform, Arkham Intelligence, as of Q3 2025, at least 35 companies now hold over 1,000 BTC in their corporate treasuries – marking a notable increase in institutional participation in the Bitcoin market.

The data includes public and private firms across sectors, with some firms increasing their BTC exposure substantially over the past few months. Leading the list is MicroStrategy, which holds 226,331 BTC valued at more than $14 billion, reaffirming its position as the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin. The firm has consistently increased its holdings since 2020, and recently reiterated its long-term commitment to Bitcoin as a reserve asset.

Other notable holders include Block Inc., Tesla, Marathon Digital, Hut 8, and Galaxy Digital. Several of these firms are Bitcoin mining companies or institutions involved in the crypto ecosystem, while others – like Tesla – represent broader corporate interest in digital assets.

The spike in corporate accumulation comes amid renewed institutional demand driven by developments such as the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States and increasing regulatory clarity in key markets. These factors have reduced perceived risk for corporations looking to diversify their reserves into Bitcoin.

In total, corporate holdings now represent over 2% of the total Bitcoin supply, with some analysts expecting this share to grow as more companies adopt Bitcoin for balance sheet diversification, treasury management, or long-term store-of-value purposes.

Bitcoin is currently trading around $117,000 (as of July 25 2025), down from recent highs but still significantly up from earlier in the year [2025] – further reinforcing its role as a maturing asset class in corporate finance.
