18 companies raised $1.24B in Bitcoin in one week, with $1.16B more planned, signaling growing corporate adoption.

Bitcoin is seeing an increase in corporate interest. In just five days from June 16th to 20th, 18 companies added a combined 12,010 $BTC to their coffers. This equates to more than $1.22 billion at its current price.

Purchases and planned acquisitions signal institutional momentum.

According to an update shared by @btcNLNico on X, two new firms, including Prenetics, started holding Bitcoin, with 187.4 $BTC . The strategy led to buying with a massive 10,100 BTC buy. That’s over $1 billion in a single move.

Other notable acquisitions came from Metaplanet, The Blockchain Group, H100 Group, and The Smarter Web Company. These firms are building their BTC reserves quickly and clearly.

The activity didn’t stop with the purchases. There were 14 announcements about the future acquisition of Bitcoin. The planned purchases could reach $1.16 billion. It's worth noting that many firms are raising capital just to add BTC to their balance sheets.

Metaplanet issued $210 million in bonds. Fold is looking to raise $250 million in equity. DDC Enterprise is preparing to raise up to $528 million. ANAP and H100 are both tapping credit to convert to Bitcoin.

Corporate Bitcoin adoption represents a shift from experience to a strategic asset class.

In addition, Smarter Web Company raised nearly $40 million. BD Multimedia has locked in $1.15 million for the same purpose. Companies are using a variety of financing avenues to acquire their Bitcoin treasury.

Additional moves came from leadership changes and new projects. Semler Scientific has hired a new strategy director. Prenatics appointed a former OKX executive to lead its treasury. Nakamoto Holdings and Smarter Web also reshuffled senior roles.

This rapid pace reflects the change. Bitcoin is no longer seen as an experiment. It is becoming a systematic treasury tool. For many firms, Bitcoin is now digital gold.

Companies across industries and countries are aligning on the same bet. As inflationary pressures mount and global markets shake, bitcoin offers an alternative. These public announcements show that confidence is growing, not fading.

What happens next could move the broader market. When companies start staking Bitcoin on this scale, supply tightens. This could fuel price action, especially if the trend spreads.

If the current momentum continues, summer 2025 could break more records. The leading cryptocurrency is moving to the center of corporate finance faster than many expected.
