The momentum behind corporate Bitcoin adoption continues to build rapidly, with 35 publicly listed companies now holding more than 1,000 BTC apiece — a clear sign of intensifying institutional confidence in the leading cryptocurrency.
Just four months after President Donald Trump’s executive order to establish a federal Bitcoin reserve, interest from major corporations is spiking. Bitcoin demand has surged, and its price currently hovers near $116,000.
Chris Kuiper, Vice President of Research at Fidelity Digital Assets, revealed that at least 35 publicly traded firms have now crossed the 1,000 BTC threshold on their balance sheets. That represents over $116 billion in Bitcoin holdings — a significant increase from 24 such companies at the end of Q1 2025.
“This indicates a broader distribution of Bitcoin among public companies,” Kuiper noted in a post on X. “We’re no longer seeing just a few dominant players — more companies are getting involved.”
Fidelity’s update came shortly after Bitcoin overtook Amazon in market capitalization, becoming the world’s fifth most valuable asset, surpassing the $2.3 trillion mark.
Data from BitcoinTreasuries.NET shows that more than 278 publicly traded entities now report Bitcoin holdings, more than doubling from just 124 a few weeks ago. The U.S. remains the leader, with 94 companies holding Bitcoin, followed by Canada with 40 and the UK with 19.
Q2 Sees 35% Spike in Bitcoin Acquisitions by Corporations
Institutional buying of Bitcoin surged in the second quarter of 2025, with publicly listed firms acquiring 134,456 BTC — a 35% jump from the 99,857 BTC purchased in Q1.
“What’s notable is not just the volume of Bitcoin being bought — it’s the number of companies doing the buying,” Kuiper added.
Open interest in Bitcoin futures is also at elevated levels, nearing its all-time high of $45 billion. According to Iliya Kalchev, an analyst at Nexo, this suggests sustained institutional participation and rising speculative positioning.
“Although Bitcoin’s short-term movement is mostly sideways, the current setup points to a potentially major shift ahead,” Kalchev said.
