Corporate adoption of Bitcoin is accelerating rapidly, with 116 public companies now holding a combined total of approximately 809,000 BTC, up from 312,200 BTC a year ago. Since early April alone, over 100,000 BTC has been added, with more than 25 companies disclosing new Bitcoin holdings. This surge reflects a broader trend of institutional accumulation and a shift in corporate cash management strategies away from traditional assets like cash and Treasuries. Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan described this movement as a "megatrend" in its early stages, highlighting that 79 public companies held about $57 billion in Bitcoin as of March, marking a 160% increase from the previous year. Additionally, Bitcoin-related investment products have seen strong inflows, with Bitcoin ETF assets reaching $5.5 billion in May—a 121% increase—outpacing gold ETFs, which dropped to $1.5 billion. Overall, crypto fund assets hit a record $167 billion in May, with $7 billion in fresh inflows, indicating that investors are increasingly viewing Bitcoin as a strategic hedge and diversification tool over traditional assets like gold and stocks.
