Corporate Bitcoin holdings surge to $85B amid policy shifts and accounting rule changes

By the end of May, 116 public companies held 809,100 BTC—worth around $85 billion—more than doubling last year’s total of 312,200 BTC, according to Binance Research, cited by CoinDesk. Nearly 100,000 BTC were added since April, driven by Bitcoin’s price rise, favorable U.S. policies under President Trump and new accounting rules allowing firms to recognize crypto gains. While Bitcoin dominates corporate holdings, some companies have begun exploring other assets like ETH, SOL and XRP, though those remain relatively limited.
