Public companies like Tether and Strategy are stacking Bitcoin, but why are crypto and Bitcoin prices crashing? BTC USD is tracking towards $80,000 and may impact even some of the best-performing meme coins and top altcoins.<\/p>\n

The latest\u00a0<\/span>on-chain data\u00a0reveals<\/a> that public companies, especially those in the United States, aggressively bought<\/span>\u00a0Bitcoin in Q1 2025. Analysts note that these corporate giants collectively bought 91,781 BTC in the first three months of the year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite their dedication to doubling down on the world\u2019s most valuable coin, Bitcoin slid double digits from its all-time high of nearly $110,000, dropping below $78,000 in March 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n

At this pace, there is a real risk of the coin retesting the 2021 high of $74,000. If bears press on, forcing the world\u2019s most valuable coin to $50,000, some of the <\/span>best meme coins<\/span><\/a> will also come under pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n

Considering all this, investors should ask the right questions: <\/span>Who are the big players buying Bitcoin, and why is Bitcoin still down?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Public Companies Buying Bitcoin Is The Big Trend for 2025<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

In Q1 2025, analysts, citing CryptoQuant <\/span>data<\/span><\/a>, observed that Tether, the issuer of the world\u2019s most liquid stablecoin, USDT, added 8,888 BTC to its reserves, pushing their holdings to over 100,000 BTC, according to Arkham data.<\/span><\/p>\n

While Tether might be buying Bitcoin as a strategy, using it as the first line of defense should USDT depeg, say, over the weekend, the decision to accumulate BTC and not any other altcoin is a huge endorsement of digital gold.<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the years, Tether has played a crucial role in driving adoption and allowing TradFi players to easily bridge to crypto through a stable token that now serves as a medium of exchange for millions, especially in emerging nations. Through USDT, anyone in the world can engage, even buying some of the <\/span>hottest presale tokens in 2025<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to Bitcoin, Tether holds U.S. Treasuries and other cash equivalents, which are used to back USDT.<\/span><\/p>\n

While Tether is a big BTC whale worth watching, Strategy, formerly MicroStrategy, is the largest corporate Bitcoin holder. In Q1 2025, Strategy used part of its debt to buy even more Bitcoin, adding a whopping 81,785 BTC in Q1 2025 alone.<\/span><\/p>\n

Notably, Strategy spent over $8 billion on BTC purchases, cementing its position as a Bitcoin bull, a view held by its founder, Michael Saylor. <\/span><\/p>\n
