Bitcoin Holdings Surge: Public Firms Add 94K Coins in Q1 2025

Publicly listed companies are significantly increasing their Bitcoin holdings. According to a report by Bitwise, Bitcoin’s value for these entities has grown by approximately 16.1% since the start of this year (Q1 2025). This surge is attributed in part to institutional investors and individuals actively acquiring Bitcoin as a potential future investment opportunity. Bitwise reports that during Q1 2025, companies added a total of 94,431 Bitcoins, bringing their collective BTC holdings to 688,000. Giants like Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) and GrayScale are leading the charge in Bitcoin adoption and using it as a key component of their investment strategy.
