In October 2025, public and private companies worldwide added 14,447 bitcoins (BTC) to their holdings, representing the smallest monthly increase this year, according to data from BitcoinTreasuries.net. The total tracked Bitcoin holdings by companies, governments, and ETFs rose to approximately 4.05 million BTC, valued near $444 billion at the end of the month.
The rise was significantly lower than September’s purchase of more than 38,000 BTC, a period marked by strong market sentiment and rising prices. Despite this slowdown, the overall accumulation trend continued. Public companies held just over 1.05 million BTC, governments owned 644,329 BTC, and ETFs plus exchanges accounted for about 1.54 million BTC.
Selling activity by companies was minimal, with just 39 BTC sold during the month. Companies are shifting focus from aggressive buying to capital preservation and efficiency. Due to compressed share valuations and increasing risk premiums, firms now find it more challenging and costly to raise capital. As a result, they rely more on preferred-share offerings or credit lines, rather than issuing new equity.
This cautious approach has led treasury firms to adopt capital-efficiency strategies, including share buybacks, to maintain Bitcoin-per-share ratios and counter declining market-to-net asset value (NAV) multiples that have negatively impacted stock prices.
The ongoing increase in corporate Bitcoin holdings contributes to the asset’s structural supply tightness and is associated with price stability amid less active short-term holders. Industry estimates indicate that public companies currently hold about 5% of Bitcoin’s illiquid supply, a share projected to grow to around 42% of circulating Bitcoin by 2032. This group mainly comprises treasuries, long-term investors, and entities with low spending, suggesting that the corporate Bitcoin sector is awaiting clearer signs of renewed investor demand.
