Public companies bought over 50,000 Bitcoin in Q1 2026, pushing holdings to a record 1.15 million BTC.

In the first quarter of 2026, public companies collectively purchased more than 50,000 Bitcoin, raising their total holdings to a record 1.15 million BTC. This represents 5.47% of Bitcoin's total supply and reflects growing corporate adoption of Bitcoin as a treasury reserve despite price volatility. The total value of these holdings was $77 billion at quarter-end, down nearly 19% due to Bitcoin's price drop to $67,805. Major holders include Strategy, XXI, MARA Holdings, Metaplanet, and Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company, indicating strong institutional confidence in Bitcoin as a long-term asset. This trend suggests Bitcoin is becoming a mainstream corporate asset class, potentially stabilizing the market as adoption expands.
