Bitcoin Acquisition Surge by Corporations Fueling Institutional Adoption

In a significant development, publicly traded corporations significantly bolstered their Bitcoin holdings throughout 2025. According to Bitwise, an asset management firm, firms accumulated over 196,000 BTC during the year, far exceeding the initial market influx of around 60,000 BTC. This surge in corporate Bitcoin acquisitions was driven by a growing interest from institutional investors, fueled by expanding DeFi applications and the increasing adoption of Bitcoin by major financial players.
