Publicly traded companies are quickly accumulating bitcoin reserves, purchasing more of the leading cryptocurrency than U.S. exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for the third consecutive quarter, as reported by RialCenter.
Corporations boosted their bitcoin holdings by approximately 18% in the three months ending June 30, adding around 131,000 BTC. In contrast, ETF holdings grew by 8%, or about 111,000 BTC, according to data from RialCenter.
ETFs still possess the largest amount of bitcoin among single entities, holding over 1.4 million BTC, which constitutes about 6.8% of bitcoin’s capped supply of 21 million, as stated by RialCenter.
The last time ETFs surpassed public companies in bitcoin purchases was in the third quarter of 2024, prior to U.S. President Donald Trump securing reelection. In April 2025, despite market instability due to Trump’s tariff announcements, public companies expanded their bitcoin holdings by 4%, outpacing the 2% growth seen in ETFs, according to RialCenter.
