Is Corporate Bitcoin Buying Taking Over? The Shocking Numbers You Need to See!

Hold onto your hats, folks, because in 2025, the corporate world is officially giving retail investors the cold shoulder when it comes to Bitcoin. Yep, while average Joes are sitting on the sidelines, trying to figure out why Bitcoin is playing hard to get, the big boys are out here stacking digital gold like it’s going out of style.

It all started with Michael Saylor and his “let’s fill our coffers with Bitcoin” mantra at MicroStrategy. Now, it’s like every major corporation decided to throw their hat in the ring. The result? Corporations have snatched up a whopping 157k BTC, valued at a cool $16 billion. That’s right, they’re outpacing ETFs and retail investors, who are currently sipping iced lattes and avoiding Bitcoin because it’s just too expensive (I mean, who can blame them? Who has a couple hundred grand just lying around?).

Businesses are the largest net buyer of bitcoin so far this year, led by @Strategy, which makes up 77% of the growth.

Case in point: Next Technology. This company recently bought 5,000 BTC for a jaw-dropping $180 million. Why? Because, apparently, the future is digital, and they’re not about to miss the boat. Now, they hold 5,833 BTC, valued at over $600 million. Imagine waking up and finding out your digital piggy bank just grew by $400 million. Lucky them.

JUST IN: Publicly listed Next Technology disclosed buying 5,000 Bitcoin for $180m, now HODLs 5,833 $BTC worth +$600m.

This bold move caused Next Technology’s stock to go into overdrive. Looks like there’s a new trend in town: Corporate Bitcoin moves are now directly linked to stock market performance. Who knew that buying a bunch of crypto could turn you into the stock market’s new favorite darling?

But wait, there’s more. ETFs and other financial products are getting in on the action too. They’ve picked up 49,000 BTC to throw into their portfolios, and even government entities are playing the Bitcoin game, adding 19,000 BTC to their holdings. Who knew bureaucrats could be so… forward-thinking?

Large wallets continue to lead accumulation, but ultra-large whales are cooling off. >10K $BTC cohorts have pulled back to a neutral score (~0.5), while 1K–10K (~0.9) and 100–1K $BTC (~0.8) remain strong buyers.
Only <10 $BTC holders continue to distribute.

According to Glassnode, the big wallets are continuing to aggressively hoard Bitcoin, but the mega whales (the ones with more than 10K BTC) seem to have hit the brakes on their buying spree. Looks like they’ve decided to chill for a bit. Meanwhile, those with less than 10 BTC are out here throwing in the towel, distributing rather than accumulating. Sorry, little guys.
