🧠 Food for thought

1️⃣ Corporate bitcoin hoarding creates new supply-demand dynamics

Corporate acquisition of bitcoin is outpacing new production, creating a shift in the market’s supply dynamics.

Public companies purchased over 196,000 BTC in 2025 alone, exceeding the yearly new bitcoin issuance of 164,250 BTC 1.

This trend has doubled corporate bitcoin holdings in just two months, with 61 public companies now controlling approximately 673,897 BTC, representing 3.2% of bitcoin’s total supply 2.

MicroStrategy’s aggressive purchasing approach exemplifies this trend, with their holdings representing roughly 2.8% of all bitcoin that will ever exist.

This corporate accumulation creates a supply shortage that alters bitcoin’s market dynamics, as institutions are generally holding for long-term strategic purposes rather than trading.

2️⃣ The evolution from dismissal to corporate treasury asset

Bitcoin’s transformation from experimental digital money to corporate treasury asset is a significant evolution in financial history.
