In a surprising move that defies recent market turbulence, corporate treasuries worldwide have been stealthily accumulating Bitcoin throughout August 2025. Data reveals institutions scooped up over 7,700 BTC last week alone, while retail investors retreated. This accumulation comes as Bitcoin experiences volatility following Fed Chair Jerome Powell's Jackson Hole speech, with prices fluctuating between $117,000 and $112,000. The BTCC research team examines this growing institutional trend that's reshaping crypto market dynamics.
Why Are Corporations Buying the Bitcoin Dip?
Between August 18-24, 2025, corporate bitcoin adoption reached new heights with 48 treasury announcements globally. Four new corporate treasury bonds launched with combined holdings exceeding 41 BTC, while 16 companies announced plans to establish Bitcoin reserves and 5 existing holders revealed intentions to increase their positions. Japanese fashion brand ANAP Holdings boosted its holdings by 6.26 BTC, while another unnamed Japanese firm added 200 BTC to reach 364.93 BTC total. The most ambitious plan came from Philippine Congressman Migz Villafuerte, who proposed legislation (HB 421) to create a national strategic Bitcoin reserve targeting 10,000 BTC over five years.

Corporate Bitcoin Accumulation in Action
The buying spree continued throughout August 2025. U.S.-listed DDC Enterprise purchased 100 BTC on August 21, while Japanese apparel retailer Mac House made its first Bitcoin acquisition of 17.5 BTC as a "proof of concept" toward its 1,000 BTC target. American modular home builder BOXABL reported holding 10 BTC at an average price of $107,800 in its Q2 filings. Swedish firm Goobit (BTCX) initiated its Bitcoin strategy with 10.6 BTC, eyeing 210 BTC long-term. The H100 Group expanded its position by 102 BTC to reach 911.29 BTC total.
Strategic Bitcoin Adoption Accelerates
Metaplanet led the charge among public companies, adding 103 BTC to reach 18,991 BTC total. Other notable accumulators included Remixpoint (+41.5 BTC), ANAP (+11.7 BTC), and Agile Media Network (+0.6 BTC). Def Consulting announced plans to establish a corporate treasury. Smaller firms also participated actively - DDC Enterprise added 200 BTC on August 25 (888 BTC total), Empery Digital grew its stack by 13 BTC (4,000+ BTC total), Florida-based LM Funding America purchased 164 BTC (311 BTC total), and Vanadi Coffee reached its 100 BTC milestone.
MicroStrategy Maintains Dominance
The corporate Bitcoin leader continued its aggressive strategy, revealing a $356.9 million purchase of 3,081 BTC at $115,829 average price. This brings MicroStrategy's total holdings to 632,457 BTC - nearly 3% of Bitcoin's circulating supply. "They're not just accumulating - they're effectively creating a Bitcoin-denominated alternative financial system," noted a BTCC market analyst.
Market Context and Outlook
Bitcoin faced significant selling pressure in late August 2025, with prices dropping over 3% weekly to $112,472 at time of writing (per CoinMarketCap data). However, 24-hour trading volume surged 70% to $87.8 billion, suggesting strong institutional activity. BTC dominance hovered at 57.6% as total crypto market cap settled at $3.89 trillion following a 2.4% decline. "This isn't panic selling - it's sophisticated players rebalancing portfolios," observed one trader on BTCC's platform.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are corporations buying Bitcoin during a market downturn?
Institutional investors often view price dips as buying opportunities for long-term holdings. Many corporations are implementing dollar-cost averaging strategies regardless of short-term price movements.
How significant is 7,700 BTC in weekly corporate purchases?
At current prices, this represents nearly $900 million in institutional demand. For context, Bitcoin's daily issuance is about 900 BTC, meaning corporations absorbed over 8 days' worth of new supply in one week.
What's driving corporate Bitcoin adoption in 2025?
Several factors: accounting rule changes allowing BTC on balance sheets, inflation hedging needs, and growing recognition of Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset separate from typical corporate treasury management.
