Corporates hold 1.26M BTC after record Q2 buying
Publicly traded firms acquired 110,000 BTC in Q2 2026, 1.8x their combined haul from the prior two quarters, pushing total corporate holdings above 1.26 million BTC worth roughly $79 billion, representing over 6% of total supply. Year-to-date through early July, public companies added a net 166,984 BTC while miners produced only ~81,153 BTC, meaning corporate demand is absorbing new supply at roughly double the rate of production. Strategy remains the dominant holder with approximately 843,775–847,000 BTC.
