Publicly traded companies are increasingly integrating Bitcoin into their corporate treasury strategies, viewing it as a portfolio advantage and a risk hedge comparable to traditional safe-haven assets like gold. This corporate adoption trend confirms Bitcoin’s growing acceptance as a strategic asset class.
New research from Blockware Solutions forecasts a significant influx of institutional players, projecting 36 new public companies will add Bitcoin to their balance sheets within the next six months. This anticipated wave of adoption underpins a broader projection that Bitcoin holdings by listed entities will surge by 120% within the year, driven by the need for portfolio diversification and inflation hedging.
Mirroring this institutional interest in cryptocurrency exposure, the Czech National Bank (ČNB) has been noted for recent portfolio adjustments. The central bank increased its investment stake in data analytics firm Palantir and initiated a new position in crypto exchange Coinbase.
In related cryptocurrency market developments, Ethereum has seen substantial growth in staking participation. The proportion of the total ETH supply locked in staking contracts has now reached 29.5%. This trend indicates long-term holder conviction and reduces readily available supply on exchanges, factors potentially supportive of price appreciation for the asset.
