Public Companies Are Buying More Bitcoin Than ETFs For Third Quarter In A Row
Briefly

Public companies have outperformed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in Bitcoin accumulation for the third consecutive quarter. In Q2 2025, public companies acquired 131,000 BTC, an 18% increase from the previous quarter, while ETFs saw an 8% increase with 111,000 BTC. Public companies hold approximately 855,000 BTC compared to ETFs' 1.4 million BTC. Demand from public companies focuses on increasing shareholder value rather than market sentiment or trends. Favorable policy changes under the Trump administration may have boosted corporate engagement in Bitcoin, signaling strong federal support for the asset.
