Bitwise: Public Companies’ Bitcoin Holdings Jump 16% in Q1 2025
Crypto asset manager Bitwise reports that by the end of Q1, corporate Bitcoin holdings had grown to around 688,000 BTC, with companies acquiring an additional 95,431 BTC during the quarter.
In Q1 2025, corporate interest in Bitcoin surged as publicly traded companies boosted their holdings by 16.1%, adding 95,431 BTC and raising total corporate reserves to around 688,000 BTC—worth $56.7 billion at quarter-end prices.
The number of public firms holding Bitcoin grew from 67 to 79, with notable new buyers including Hong Kong’s Ming Shing, video platform Rumble, and Japan’s Metaplanet, which now ranks as the tenth-largest public Bitcoin holder.
Bitcoin’s price remained steady in April around $84,440, rebounding from earlier dips. This continued accumulation reflects growing institutional confidence in Bitcoin despite global uncertainty.
Meanwhile, U.S. states are advancing Bitcoin legislation. Kentucky passed a “Bitcoin Rights” bill, and Oklahoma, Missouri, and Arizona are moving forward with state-level Bitcoin reserve proposals—part of a broader push for crypto integration across the country.
