Corporate Bitcoin treasuries add 260,000 BTC, 3x mined supply
Corporate digital asset treasuries (DATs) accumulated a net 260,000 Bitcoin over the past six months, significantly exceeding the estimated 82,000 coins mined during the same interval, according to on-chain analytics firm Glassnode on Tuesday.
Holdings by public and private companies rose from roughly 854,000 BTC to 1.11 million BTC over the period, an increase of about 260,000 BTC valued at approximately $25 billion at current market prices, or around 43,000 BTC per month. Glassnode described the trend as evidence of a continued build-up of corporate balance sheet exposure to Bitcoin (BTC).
Bitcoin miners produced an average of 450 BTC per day, totaling about 82,000 BTC over the same timeframe, indicating a potentially supportive supply-demand backdrop for the asset.
Strategy holds 60% of total corporate BTC
The majority of the roughly 1.2 million BTC held on corporate balance sheets is controlled by Michael Saylor’s Strategy.
Strategy currently holds 687,410 BTC, representing about 60% of the total, worth around $65.5 billion at current market prices. The company resumed purchases this month after a brief pause, disclosing the acquisition of an additional 13,627 BTC between January 5 and 11 in its largest buy since July.
The second-largest corporate Bitcoin DAT is MARA Holdings with 53,250 BTC, valued at around $5 billion, according to Bitcoin Treasuries.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs may further influence demand
Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds could reinforce this supply-demand dynamic if net inflows persist through the year. “Bitcoin’s price will go parabolic if ETF demand persists long-term,” Bitwise chief investment officer Matt Hougan said on Tuesday. “Since ETFs debuted in Jan 2024, they’ve been buying more than 100% of the new supply of bitcoin. But the price hasn’t gone parabolic, because existing holders have been willing to sell. If ETF demand persists — and I think it will — eventually, these sellers will run out of ammo.”
U.S. spot BTC ETFs recorded net inflows of almost $22 billion in 2025, with BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) capturing the largest share.
They began 2026 with mixed flows, with current data showing $1.9 billion of inflows and $1.38 billion of outflows, resulting in a net aggregate inflow of just over $500 million.
