Bitcoin Treasuries Hit 840K BTC, But Signs of Cooling Demand Emerge

Corporate treasuries are holding more Bitcoin than ever, but the latest CryptoQuant data shows cracks beneath the record.

As of August 2025, publicly listed treasury companies now control 840,000 BTC, with Michael Saylor’s Strategy leading the charge at 637,000 BTC. Despite this milestone, the pace of accumulation has slowed sharply, raising questions about institutional appetite.

At the headline level, August marked record holdings. Yet Strategy’s monthly purchases collapsed from 134,000 BTC in November 2024 to just 3,700 BTC in August 2025. Other companies added 14,800 BTC, also far below early-year levels. Transactions remain active-53 purchases were logged in June, but the size of each buy has fallen to multi-year lows. The average transaction dropped to 1,200 BTC for Strategy and 343 BTC for others, an 86% plunge from early 2025 highs.

This shift suggests institutions are not pulling back entirely but are buying more cautiously, perhaps waiting for clarity on market direction and regulatory signals. The slowdown is especially notable given the backdrop: U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs launched in late 2024, and Trump’s election win earlier this year added momentum to corporate adoption.

Even with cautious positioning, the broader trend remains clear-corporations continue to treat Bitcoin as a treasury asset. The challenge is that growth is slowing just as Bitcoin hovers near cycle highs. If demand doesn’t pick up, it could temper bullish expectations built on the idea of endless institutional inflows.

For now, Bitcoin’s corporate treasuries reflect a paradox: record ownership on paper, but waning enthusiasm in practice. The coming months will show whether this is merely a pause before another wave of accumulation-or the first sign that big buyers are reaching their limits.
