Ranking of corporate Bitcoin holdings in 2025: Strategy ranks first with over 630,000 BTC holdings, with several new faces entering the top ten.

Once upon a time, it was considered a fantasy for publicly traded companies to include Bitcoin in their reserve assets. However, this situation has completely changed. Since 2020, when MicroStrategy (now known as Strategy) took the lead in purchasing BTC in large quantities, more and more companies, including Block and TSL, have followed suit. According to BitcoinTreasuries data, publicly traded companies currently hold more than 4.7% of the total supply of Bitcoin. These companies are treating Bitcoin as a core asset through direct purchases, Mining, or special purpose acquisitions. Among them, MicroStrategy is far ahead with its bold accumulation strategy, holding over 630,000 BTC in reserves, while many new companies, especially encryption Mining companies and those focused on Bitcoin, are rapidly emerging, changing the landscape of Coin Hoarding among enterprises.

  1. Strategy ( Original MicroStrategy ): The Undisputed Corporate Bitcoin Giant

Strategy (, formerly known as MicroStrategy), has become synonymous with the Coin Hoarding wave in the Bitcoin enterprise. Since first acquiring $425 million worth of Bitcoin in August and September 2020, the company, under the leadership of co-founder Michael Saylor (, has pursued an aggressive Bitcoin purchasing strategy. As of September 2025, it holds 632,457 BTC in its corporate reserves, valued at over $6.8 billion, accounting for more than 3% of the total Bitcoin supply. Saylor has publicly stated that he purchased Bitcoin at a rate of $1,000 per second and believes that the future of Bitcoin will compete with traditional assets such as gold and stocks. Saylor personally holds 17,732 BTC, a stark contrast to his bearish stance on Bitcoin in 2013. Although shareholders voted against a proposal for Microsoft to imitate its Bitcoin purchases, Saylor remains confident that the company will "always buy at the top."

  1. Marathon Digital Holdings Inc.: Bitcoin Mining Giant Ranks Second

After the Bitcoin halving in 2024, the company accelerated its growth plans to "mitigate" the effects of the halving of mining rewards, aiming to double the scale of its mining business.

Riot Platforms also attempted a hostile acquisition of its competitor Bitfarms and ultimately reached a settlement.

  1. Trump Media & Technology Group: The Crypto Ambitions of a Media Giant

President Trump's publicly traded media and technology company is the eighth largest holder of Bitcoin, with an estimated 15,000 BTC held according to data from Bitcointreasuries.net.

Since Trump's return to the White House, the Trump Media Company has been aggressively positioning itself in the encryption space, not only purchasing Bitcoin but also previewing the cryptocurrency tokens and wallet for its Truth Social platform, and applying to launch multiple cryptocurrency ETFs.

  1. Coinbase: Bitcoin Reserves of the Exchange

According to its latest 10-Q filing, the company holds 11,776 BTC as investment reserves, currently worth nearly $1.3 billion.

Coinbase is also continuously innovating, recently announcing its own wrapped Bitcoin product, cbBTC, and restarting its Bitcoin lending service.

) Conclusion

Once considered an "outlier," Bitcoin has now become a strategic reserve asset for an increasing number of publicly listed companies, a shift that profoundly reflects its mainstreaming process. From MicroStrategy's pioneering actions to the influx of mining companies and emerging businesses, the corporate coin hoarding trend is rapidly growing and forming a new industry landscape. These companies not only use Bitcoin as a tool for preserving value on their balance sheets but also deeply integrate it with their own businesses, such as mining, asset management, and financial services. Although Bitcoin's price remains volatile, the firm holdings from these large institutions provide strong fundamental support for the market and instill confidence in individual investors. The continuous growth of corporate Bitcoin holdings signals that Bitcoin's position in the global financial system is steadily solidifying.
