Bitcoin is hovering near $102,230, but behind the price action, a powerful shift in ownership is underway. Corporations have emerged as the most aggressive buyers in 2025, outpacing ETFs, retail investors, and miners.
According to a recent report by River Financial, companies have added 157,000 BTC to their balance sheets this year—equivalent to $16 billion in value.

Michael Saylor’s Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) remains the dominant player, accounting for over 75% of this year’s corporate net accumulation. But the appetite isn’t limited to tech visionaries. Firms across sectors—finance, consulting, healthcare, and even non-profits—are buying in.
Nearly 36% of corporate Bitcoin purchases came from financial firms, followed by 17% from tech and 16.5% from consulting groups.
With only 450 BTC being mined per day post-halving, this aggressive demand is creating a textbook supply squeeze.
Supply Shock Builds as Corporate Demand Surges
Metaplanet’s recent purchase of 1,241 BTC pushed its reserves past El Salvador’s national stash, highlighting just how fast the corporate crowd is moving. In Q1 alone, twelve publicly traded firms initiated BTC purchases, including Rumble, which disclosed its holdings in March.
Metaplanet has acquired 1241 BTC for ~$126.7 million at ~$102,119 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 170.0% YTD 2025. As of 5/12/2025, we hold 6796 $BTC acquired for ~$608.2 million at ~$89,492 per bitcoin. $MTPLF pic.twitter.com/KXNWl5Hg0d

According to CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju, Strategy’s hoarding behavior could push Bitcoin’s annual supply growth into negative territory—creating a -2.3% “synthetic deflation” effect. Author Adam Livingston echoes that sentiment, warning that a tighter float combined with rising institutional interest may trigger upside price shocks.
With fewer coins circulating and larger balance sheets backing Bitcoin, some analysts argue that a climb to $120,000 could be driven more by supply-side constraints than traditional retail speculation.
Bitcoin Technical Analysis Suggest Near-Term Caution
Bitcoin price prediction remains mixed as while the macro trend supports long-term bullishness, short-term charts tell a different story. Bitcoin recently rejected the 50-hour EMA at $103,017 and the 23.6% Fibonacci level at $103,364.
The price has since dipped back toward the $101,924 support zone (38.2% Fib), following a breakdown from its May 7 ascending trendline.

Key bearish signals:
MACD shows a negative crossover with deepening red histograms
Price is forming lower highs and spinning top candles—signs of hesitation
Reversal patterns like bullish engulfing candles haven’t emerged
A decisive move above $103,400 could invalidate the bearish structure. Until then, traders should monitor for breakdowns below $101,900, with targets at $100,760 and $99,596.
BTC Bull Token Nears $6.84M Cap as 71% Staking Yield Drives Demand
As Bitcoin stabilizes above $102K, investor focus is shifting toward yield-generating altcoins—none more so than BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL). The token has now raised $5.80 million out of its $6.84 million presale goal, with a price increase looming as it enters its final funding stretch.
What sets BTCBULL apart is its flexible staking model, offering an estimated 71% annual yield with no lockups or withdrawal penalties.
This approach gives investors the freedom to earn passive income while maintaining full liquidity—an attractive alternative to traditional DeFi staking protocols.
Key Stats:
USDT Raised: $5,802,921.97 / $6,844,387
Token Price: $0.002515
Staking Pool: 1.47B BTCBULL

BTCBULL merges the viral appeal of meme tokens with the real-world utility of DeFi, making it a standout pick for those looking to capitalize on the 2025 crypto cycle.
With under $1 million left before the next price tier, entry at current levels is limited—fueling urgency among retail investors seeking early access to passive yield.
