Public companies holding Bitcoin doubles since 2025, now controlling nearly 5% of total supply

The number of public companies holding significant Bitcoin positions has more than doubled in a single year. According to Fidelity Digital Assets’ 2026 Look Ahead report, 49 public companies held at least 1,000 BTC by the end of 2025, up from just 22 at the close of 2024.

Collectively, those firms now control nearly 5% of Bitcoin’s hard-capped 21 million coin supply.

The corporate Bitcoin arms race

Strategy, the firm formerly known as MicroStrategy, leads the pack with roughly 847,000 BTC. The rest of the leaderboard isn’t exactly close. Twenty One Capital holds approximately 43,500 BTC. Metaplanet sits at around 40,000 BTC. MARA Holdings rounds out the top tier with about 36,000 BTC.

By early June 2026, the total count of public companies with Bitcoin on their balance sheets had expanded further. Trackers reported between 170 and 199 public companies holding approximately 1.265 million BTC, representing around 6% of Bitcoin’s total supply. That stash was worth roughly $76 billion at prevailing prices.
