Fidelity’s Insightful Analysis
Fidelity Digital Assets has been diligently observing this trend through meticulous examination of public company filings and official announcements. Their data reveals a consistent increase in both the number of companies participating and the total Bitcoin amassed since the commencement of their tracking.
Accelerated Corporate Adoption of Bitcoin
Fidelity’s findings indicate a significant rise in the number of public companies holding 1,000 or more BTC. This number jumped from 24 companies at the close of Q1 2025 to 30 by the end of Q2, reaching a total of 35 companies midway through Q3. This marks an impressive 46% increase in participating companies within just two quarters.
Surge in Corporate Bitcoin Purchases
The volume of Bitcoin acquired by these companies reached 99,857 BTC in Q1 2025, only to climb to 134,456 BTC in Q2 2025. This represents a substantial 35% increase quarter-over-quarter.
Evolution of Corporate Buying Patterns
What makes this development particularly noteworthy is the evolution of purchasing behaviors. According to Kuiper’s assessment, the period from Q1 to Q2 saw Bitcoin acquisitions becoming more dispersed among public companies, rather than being concentrated in the hands of a few major buyers.
Diversification in Acquisition Strategies
The accompanying visual data from Fidelity illustrates a pronounced change in acquisition patterns. While Q1 2025 was characterized by a single dominant buyer, Q2 2025 exhibited a more diversified purchasing landscape, with numerous medium-sized buyers entering the market. This shift could potentially lead to more sustained demand compared to periods when acquisitions were driven by single, large-scale buyers.
