Nearly 1 in 11 Bitcoin is now owned by companies and governments
Bitcoin was built so no single party could ever control it. Right now, public companies and governments between them hold just over 9% of it anyway.
CoinGecko's own tracker counts 192 institutions, public companies and governments combined, holding 1,903,654 BTC, worth roughly $123 billion, 9.07% of the entire 21-million-coin supply that will ever exist.
Governments make up a real but smaller slice of that. Public companies carry most of the weight.
- Governments: Bitwise counted 13 nations holding a combined $26.8 billion in Bitcoin, led by the United States with 328,372 BTC, nearly three times the combined holdings of the other 12. Most came from law enforcement seizures rather than direct purchase. El Salvador remains one of the few that built its position as deliberate policy
- Public companies: Strategy alone holds more than 843,000 BTC as of late May, close to 4% of the entire supply sitting with one company, and it's continued buying at a rapid pace
A few hundred institutions now hold what once sat with individuals.
None of this changes what Bitcoin does day to day, and it doesn't predict where the price goes next. What it shows is that a meaningful, growing share of an asset built to resist concentration now sits with a few hundred institutions instead of individual holders.
