Corporate Bitcoin Treasuries Cross 1 Million BTC Amid Strong Momentum

This week, corporate Bitcoin treasuries surpassed a major milestone, collectively holding over 1 million BTC. Between September 1 and September 6, companies announced fresh allocations of nearly 9,800 BTC, valued at close to $1 billion based on current market prices. 

The surge in activity reflects growing confidence in BTC as a strategic reserve asset among corporations across the globe.

New Entrants and Expansion of Bitcoin Holdings

During the week, three new Bitcoin treasuries were launched. A Dutch firm raised $147 million and allocated 1,000 BTC to its treasury. Chinese-listed CIMG Inc began with 500 BTC, while U.S.-based Hyperscale Data opened its position with 3.6 BTC. Together, these new entrants accounted for 1,503 BTC. Beyond these additions, several companies announced plans to expand their BTC exposure. 

Canada’s Universal Digital revealed a $100 million Bitcoin strategy in Japan through a partnership with ReYuu, while Japan’s Star Seeds Co outlined a ¥1 billion ($6.8 million) allocation. Australian company InFocus Group earmarked 2.5 million AUD ($1.6 million) for a Bitcoin ETF. Other companies, including FiscalNote Holdings, Yoshiharu Global, and Sadot Group, also disclosed preparatory moves for treasury strategies.

Existing corporate players aggressively increased their BTC holdings. Michael Saylor’s Strategy led the charge with a substantial purchase, bringing its total to over 636,500 BTC. Marathon Digital added 1,838 BTC, Metaplanet purchased 1,009 BTC to surpass 20,000 BTC, and American Bitcoin contributed 502 BTC to its reserves. 

Larger Plans and Institutional Participation

The future outlook for corporate Bitcoin treasuries appears robust. Metaplanet secured approval for an expansion worth ¥555 billion ($3.8 billion), while Japan’s S-Science raised its limit to ¥9.6 billion ($65.3 million). 

The UK’s Smarter Web Company entered a £24 million ($32.4 million) subscription deal, and Hyperscale Data plans to purchase $20 million in BTC through an ATM program. Additional commitments came from Convano, pledging ¥2.5 billion ($17 million), and Sora Ventures, which launched a $1 billion Bitcoin treasury fund.

Further developments include American Bitcoin’s Nasdaq debut under the ticker $ABTC and DDC Enterprise’s partnership with Gemini to expand its crypto reserves. Governance updates from Sequans and Smarter Web Company also reflect increased focus on treasury management.
