CryptoQuant data shows that in the last 30 days Strategy accounted for the vast majority of bitcoin acquired by public companies, purchasing roughly 45,000 BTC while other corporate accumulators bought only about 1,000 BTC. Strategy now holds roughly two-thirds of the bitcoin held by public companies, even as its stock and bitcoin prices have both retreated substantially.

Key Points

  • Over the past 30 days, bitcoin accumulators excluding Strategy purchased about 1,000 BTC, while Strategy bought roughly 45,000 BTC - its largest 30-day purchase since April 2025.
  • The share of purchases from bitcoin treasury companies other than Strategy declined to 2% from 95% in October; overall treasury purchases are down 99% from an August 2025 high.
  • Strategy holds about 65% of the bitcoin held by public companies; Strategy's stock is over 71% below its 52-week high while bitcoin has fallen 48% from its October peak.

Corporate demand for bitcoin has narrowed sharply, with virtually all recent public-company buying concentrated in Strategy, according to data from CryptoQuant. Over the most recent 30-day period, public corporate entities that accumulate bitcoin but exclude Strategy together purchased roughly 1,000 BTC. By contrast, Strategy added about 45,000 BTC during the same window - its largest 30-day accumulation since April 2025.

The distribution of corporate purchases has shifted dramatically. The share of acquisitions from bitcoin treasury companies outside Michael Saylor's Strategy has fallen to 2% from 95% in October. Overall, purchases by bitcoin treasuries are down 99% from their high in August 2025.

Those flows arrive while both Strategy's equity and the underlying cryptocurrency have weakened. Strategy's stock is trading more than 71% below its 52-week high. Bitcoin has also declined, falling 48% from its October peak.

"Bitcoins got $50 billion a day of liquidity, and we don’t control the price of the liquidity, and we hold three and a half percent of the asset," Michael Saylor told CNBC. "It’s a very decentralized, very diffused asset. The market is much bigger than anybody in it and that’s actually what makes it such a compelling capital asset."

On a broader scale of corporate ownership, Strategy accounts for about 65% of the bitcoin held by public companies, according to Bitcoin Treasuries. That concentration underscores how much of the publicly disclosed corporate exposure to bitcoin is currently attributable to a single firm.

The recent data from CryptoQuant highlights a sharp divergence between Strategy's purchasing activity and that of other public corporate treasuries. While Strategy's acquisitions reached a multi-month high, other publicly disclosed corporate buyers have almost entirely stopped adding to their bitcoin positions over the same period.


Implications for markets and corporate treasuries

The pattern of buying emphasizes the role of a single large public company in shaping the visible corporate demand narrative for bitcoin. It also leaves open questions about concentration of holdings among publicly reporting entities and how those holdings relate to broader market liquidity and price formation.

Risks

  • Concentration risk - a large share of public-company bitcoin holdings is held by Strategy, which could affect perceptions of corporate exposure to crypto markets; this impacts corporate treasury reporting and investor assessment.
  • Market weakness - both Strategy's equity and bitcoin have experienced significant declines, which could influence corporate balance-sheet valuations and investor sentiment in related sectors.
