Public companies surpass 1 million BTC in collective holdings, highlighting a milestone in institutional Bitcoin adoption.
Firms increasingly integrate Bitcoin into treasury strategies, signaling its rising status as a reserve asset.

On September 4, 2025, The Block reported that public companies collectively hold over 1 million BTC, marking a significant milestone in the growing institutional adoption of Bitcoin. This trend underscores Bitcoin's increasing role as a reserve asset in corporate treasury strategies globally.

Michael Saylor's strategy was instrumental in pioneering corporate Bitcoin adoption. The company's approach has served as a model for many others, contributing to its own success in terms of stock performance and Bitcoin holdings. Saylor's success has encouraged firms such as Mara Holdings, Metaplanet, Semler Scientific, and GameStop to integrate Bitcoin into their balance sheets.

The Nasdaq-listed firm CIMG recently demonstrated the ongoing expansion of institutional adoption with its announcement of raising $55 million specifically to purchase Bitcoin. This move reflects the growing recognition of Bitcoin as a viable and strategic reserve asset among public companies. Over 100 public firms now hold Bitcoin, further establishing this trend.

The adoption of Bitcoin by institutions remains in its early stages, according to analysts. A significant portion of capital raised by companies adopting Bitcoin treasury strategies has yet to be deployed. Analysts have also noted that institutional demand is creating a structural supply-demand imbalance in the Bitcoin market.

Bitcoin has experienced substantial price growth over the past year, rising by 90% and trading at $110,142.10 as of September 4, 2025, according to the latest market data. As firms continue adopting Bitcoin, this price growth trajectory reflects the heightened demand for the asset. With over 50,000 publicly traded companies globally, analysts predict more firms will adopt Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset.

As of September 4, 2025, 16:09 UTC, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $109,608.901, with a 2.338% decrease in price over the past 24 hours. The 24-hour trading volume has declined by 12.672%, according to recent data from CoinMarketCap.
