Select Language

MicroStrategy (MSTR) dominated corporate Bitcoin purchases last month, accounting for approximately 97.5% of net buying. According to BitcoinTreasuries.net, the company acquired 40,150 Bitcoins in January 2026, bringing its total holdings to 712,647 Bitcoins. This surge has returned corporate Bitcoin buying levels to those seen last summer. Public companies collectively hold about 1.13 million Bitcoins, with nearly two-thirds owned by MicroStrategy. The company views its Bitcoin reserves as a long-term treasury strategy, anticipating significant price appreciation by 2032. Its recent report outlines a seven-year plan aiming to more than double Bitcoin holdings per share. Additionally, MicroStrategy purchased 1,142 Bitcoins during the past week and maintains a strong presence in digital credit markets with products like STRC, STRD, STRF, and STRK, offering investors returns through hybrid financial instruments. While around one-third of approximately 194 public companies continue daily Bitcoin purchases, mining firms such as MARA, Riot, Hut 8, and CleanSpark were net sellers in January. Despite new entrants, Bitcoin ownership concentration is increasing among major companies. Recent market declines have led to lower Bitcoin prices and reduced share values for treasury-focused firms. Overall Bitcoin holdings across corporate, ETF, government, and institutional levels have surpassed 4.08 million, with public companies more than doubling their Bitcoin reserves in recent years.
