Public companies, those bastions of fiscal prudence and forward-thinking, have discovered a new toy: Bitcoin. The second quarter of the year witnessed the most prodigious leap in corporate Bitcoin accumulation, a spectacle that would have made Scrooge McDuck weep with joy.
According to Bitwise’s Q2 2025 report, public companies now hoard a staggering 847,000 Bitcoin (BTC), a 23.3% increase from the previous quarter. This sum, representing 4.03% of Bitcoin’s total 21 million supply, is enough to make one wonder if the world’s corporate treasuries are turning into digital Fort Knoxes.
At current prices, the Bitcoin stash is worth a cool $91 billion. This value, based on an average price of $107,754, marks a 60.9% increase compared to Q1. One can almost hear the collective sigh of relief from CFOs everywhere, as they pat themselves on the back for their timely investments.
Companies are buying bitcoin, Q2 2025 edition

The holdings were bolstered by the acquisition of 159,107 BTC in Q2 alone, the largest quarterly increase on record. This surge was fueled by both new entrants and the voracious appetite of existing holders, pushing the number of public companies with Bitcoin from 79 to 125 in a mere three months. A veritable gold rush, one might say, but with a digital twist.
The 46 new companies represent a 58% jump from Q1, and include such luminaries as Twenty One, which invested a princely sum of $450 million into Bitcoin to become the third-largest corporate holder with a 37,230 stash. One can only imagine the boardroom discussions that led to this decision, likely involving a lot of hand-waving and promises of untold riches.
Another new entrant, GameStop, also executed its first-ever BTC purchase of 4,710 BTC, marking a shift in its corporate strategy. Perhaps they realized that selling video games was no longer the path to glory, and decided to join the crypto revolution instead.
Some of the largest purchases came from existing holders like Strategy, the Michael Saylor-led firm, which added over 69,000 BTC in Q2 alone. The company now holds 697,325 BTC, and is sitting on an estimated $14 billion in unrealized gains. One can almost hear the sound of Michael Saylor’s laughter echoing through the halls of corporate America.
Similarly, Japan’s ‘Strategy’ Metaplanet continued ramping up its accumulation. Now holding 15,55 BTC, the company led Tokyo trading volumes in Q2, surpassing firms like Toyota and Sony in market activity. One wonders if they will soon be trading Bitcoin for sushi, or perhaps the other way around.
In parallel, firms like Trump Media filed plans to raise $2.5 billion, with a goal to commit the funds to large-scale Bitcoin accumulation. The world, it seems, is not just flat but also increasingly digital.
The surge in acquisition shows that Bitcoin is moving beyond the realm of retail enthusiasts and into the hallowed halls of mainstream corporate finance, becoming a permanent fixture on many balance sheets. BTC trades at $111,115 at press time, up 2% in the past 24 hours, after recently touching an all-time high just below $112,000. One can only speculate what the future holds, but for now, the corporate world is all in. 🚀💰
