Hey everyone, With more big players showing interest in Bitcoin, it seems like corporations and ETF funds are ramping up their BTC holdings, shaking up the market. Recent stats show that the top 100 public companies are now sitting on over 1 million BTC, which is around 5% of the total supply. Leading the pack is Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) with more than 600,000 BTC, followed by Metaplanet and Marathon Digital. These buys are part of their treasury strategies and are getting a boost from ETFs like BlackRock's IBIT, which has assets of 76 billion USD. What’s your take on how this will impact prices and adoption? Here’s a rundown of the major players by their BTC holdings: Strategy: Over 600,000 BTC, just bought 850+ coins for 100 million USD; aiming for 42 billion USD in assets. Metaplanet: 25,000+ BTC worth about 2.7 billion USD, including a recent buy of 5,000+ BTC for 632 million USD. Marathon Digital (MARA): Roughly 53,000 BTC mined and accumulated. Tesla: 11,500 BTC after shifting back to a holding strategy. Twenty One Capital: 24,000+ BTC supported by Tether and SoftBank (over 3.9 billion USD). And here are the top ETF funds by assets: Let’s talk about this! Which companies do you think will make it into the top ranks soon? Will institutional buying push us to 10% of the total supply? Drop your thoughts, news, or predictions here.

They have purchases and sales, not all of them will only buy and buy without sell especially Bitcoin Spot ETFs that buying bitcoin mostly on behalf of their customers. They will receive demand of users to get their money back and it's time for Bitcoin Spot ETFs to sell part of their bitcoin treasuries. With more people are interested in Bitcoin market, and with more institutional investors in this market, their total holding bitcoins will increase with time so 10% of total supply is possible. There are many Bitcoin Spot ETF trackers to get almost real-time data.

Huge thanks for your insightful response and the tracker links - gold info, much appreciated! You're spot on about the ETFs: they balance buys/sells with customer flows, so redemptions do force treasury sales. Still, with retail + institutions piling in, 10% supply feels realistic over time! Excited for more thoughts! Got any predictions on which company might challenge Strategy's lead next?
