35 Public Companies Now Hoard 1,000+ Bitcoin Each—Wall Street’s FOMO Hits New High in Q3 2025

Bitcoin’s corporate adoption goes parabolic as blue-chips pile into the orange coin.

The big number: 35 publicly traded firms now hold four-figure BTC stacks—up from just a handful during the last cycle. Guess the ‘volatile asset’ narrative didn’t stick.

Why it matters: Institutions aren’t just dipping toes anymore—they’re diving headfirst into crypto cold storage. Meanwhile, traditional finance still can’t decide if Bitcoin’s a inflation hedge or a ‘risk asset.’ Spoiler: It’s both.

The kicker: Watch these same companies lobby for favorable crypto accounting rules after buying the dip. Nothing like rewriting the playbook after placing your bets.

The number of public companies holding at least 1,000 BTC has risen steadily in 2025, from 24 in Q1 to 30 in Q2, reaching 35 and counting in Q3. This growth signals increasing institutional adoption of Bitcoin as a treasury asset and store of value. These companies now collectively hold over $116 billion in BTC, underlining growing corporate confidence in the cryptocurrency’s long-term potential.
