Corporate ownership of Bitcoin has experienced explosive growth over the past nine months. According to River, a leading financial service company specializing in Bitcoin, business holdings have nearly doubled, exceeding an impressive 10,000 companies now incorporating Bitcoin on their balance sheets. This dramatic surge reflects a shift in how businesses are viewing Bitcoin as a strategic asset beyond speculation. The report suggests that this trend stems from various factors: inflation hedging by companies seeking stability and diversification from traditional assets. Increased regulatory clarity for Bitcoin custody solutions is another contributing factor, encouraging wider participation amongst smaller businesses alongside the well-known adopters like MicroStrategy and Tesla. As this trend continues, the use of Bitcoin as a core part of financial planning could lead to lower market volatility and more consistent demand, ultimately solidifying Bitcoin’s place in global finance.
