Below is the chart shared by Glassnode that shows changes in both the holdings of the various companies as well as their combined balance.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/G7vIpiuXEAA6TyA?format=jpg&amp;name=4096x4096\" alt=\"Bitcoin Treasury Balance\" width=\"3200\" height=\"1800\"><\/p>\n<p>As is visible in the graph, Bitcoin treasuries held by companies saw slow, but steady growth during 2023 and most of 2024, but in late 2024, the growth became much more rapid.<\/p>\n<p>This sharp trajectory continued into 2025 and so far, with the year\u2019s end approaching, the uptrend hasn\u2019t faded. This would suggest that corporates have been accumulating BTC at a significant pace for a year now.<\/p>\n<p>In January 2023, the size of the Bitcoin holdings that private and public firms held stood at 197,000 BTC. Today, that figure has grown to 1.08 million BTC, implying a massive jump of about 448%.<\/p>\n<p>Today, there are about 19.96 million tokens in circulation, so more than 5.4% of the cryptocurrency\u2019s supply is sitting in the treasuries of public and private companies. \u201cCorporate balance sheets are becoming an increasingly significant pillar of demand for BTC,\u201d noted the analytics firm.<\/p>\n<p>A major force behind the increase in Bitcoin corporate holdings is naturally <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/strategy-slowed-usd-reserve-drops-1-billion-bitcoin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">Strategy<\/a> (formerly MicroStrategy). The Michael Saylor-led firm has been a regular presence in the market for some time now, participating in buying almost every week and making no sales since December 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Strategy currently owns about 660,624 BTC, which means that the treasury company alone accounts for over 61% of all BTC holdings attached to public and private firms.<\/p>\n<p>While Strategy has been a big factor behind the surge in corporate holdings, it hasn\u2019t been the only one. 2025 has seen the rise of treasuries like <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/metaplanet-just-used-bitcoin-to-buy-more-bitcoin-100-million-worth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">Metaplanet<\/a>, which have also contributed to growth in BTC treasuries.<\/p>\n<p>The year has also witnessed a treasury movement related to altcoins, with both Ethereum and Solana seeing a significant amount of accumulation. ETH treasuries went through some sharp growth in mid-2025, but during the recent phase of price decline, buying has slowed down.<\/p>\n<p>That said, it hasn\u2019t hit a complete pause, as institutional DeFi solutions provider Sentora has pointed out in an X <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SentoraHQ\/status\/1998305717464486181\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">post<\/a> that Ethereum treasuries added a significant amount during November.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/G7toFbPW8AAq07z?format=jpg&amp;name=large\" alt=\"Ethereum Treasuries\" width=\"1462\" height=\"1350\"><\/p>\n<p>As displayed in the above chart, Ethereum treasuries added 309,000 ETH during November, and so far in December, they have accumulated another 100,000 ETH.<\/p>\n<h2>BTC Price<\/h2>\n<p>Bitcoin surged to $94,500 on Tuesday, but the cryptocurrency has since faced a drawdown as it\u2019s now back at $92,200.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/lKeBjt2A\/\" alt=\"Bitcoin Price Chart\" width=\"1486\" height=\"915\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Data shows Bitcoin treasury companies have seen an explosive growth trajectory since 2023, gaining relevance as an important pillar of the market.
