Public companies are rapidly increasing their investments in Bitcoin, according to David Bailey, CEO of Bitcoin Magazine. He predicts they could collectively hold between 2 and 3 million BTC by the end of 2026, based on growing trend of companies incorporating digital assets into their investment strategies. Bailey points out that new companies are announcing Bitcoin treasury strategies almost weekly, with this trend expected to become even more prevalent in the future. He expects over 1,000 publicly traded entities to join the Bitcoin buying movement, increasing access to the asset across various markets and industries. This projection comes as public company holdings have already surpassed 700,000 BTC, exceeding a recent peak of 695,000 BTC. Bailey believes that if Bitcoin prices continue to climb, this number could reach between 2 and 3 million BTC in the latter part of 2026.
