Public companies went on a Bitcoin shopping spree in Q2 2026 that makes their prior accumulation look like a warm-up lap. Over the quarter, publicly traded firms collectively scooped up 110,000 BTC, a figure that’s 1.8 times the total they acquired across the previous two quarters combined.
Total corporate Bitcoin holdings now exceed 1.26 million BTC, valued at roughly $79 billion. That’s more than 6% of Bitcoin’s hard-capped 21 million supply locked up in public company balance sheets.
Corporations are outpacing the miners
Year-to-date through early July 2026, public companies have added a net 166,984 BTC to their reserves. During that same stretch, Bitcoin miners produced approximately 81,153 BTC.
In English: corporations are buying more than twice the amount of new Bitcoin entering existence. When a growing number of buyers compete for a shrinking pool of available coins, the float gets squeezed.
