In recent years, U.S. companies have significantly increased their investments in Bitcoin, reflecting growing confidence in cryptocurrencies within the corporate sector. According to data from May 2026, 174 public companies hold 1,187,898 bitcoins, accounting for more than 5% of the total supply of this cryptocurrency. ([en.spaziocrypto.com](https://en.spaziocrypto.com/bitcoin/bitcoin-treasury-2026-174-companies-1-18m-btc/?utm_source=openai)) In the second quarter of 2026, public companies acquired 110,000 bitcoins, nearly double the volume of purchases made in the previous two quarters. The total value of corporate Bitcoin holdings now exceeds 1.26 million BTC, equivalent to approximately $79 billion.

In the first quarter of 2026, the company mined and acquired nearly 1,600 bitcoins, despite a 22% drop in price.

However, such a concentration of Bitcoin in the hands of public companies could lead to new systemic risks associated with potential forced liquidations or corporate restructurings. Overall, the active accumulation of Bitcoin by U.S. companies underscores the growing role of cryptocurrencies in corporate strategies and financial planning.
