Businesses are 'draining' the new Bitcoin supply
As of now in 2025:
• Publicly listed companies have purchased a total of 205,507 BTC to add to their balance sheets.
• Meanwhile, only 64,556 BTC have been newly mined across the entire network.
Notably, this figure does not account for purchases from private enterprises, meaning the gap between actual supply and demand could be much larger.

Significance: Bitcoin is being viewed as a 'strategic treasury asset'
Experts from Bitwise state:
“This accumulation rate reflects a structural change in the role of Bitcoin in corporate financial strategy and long-term investment portfolios.”
This trend is driven by macro factors:
• The Bitcoin halving event in April 2024 will halve the new supply.
• Spot Bitcoin ETFs open the door for institutional cash flow.
• The global context is reducing dependence on the USD and increasing trust in hard digital assets.
Impact and Outlook
• The scarce supply will become increasingly severe if corporate demand continues to maintain or increase.
• The narrative of Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset is being reinforced, especially as companies seek alternative value preservation channels to cash.
• In reality, institutional demand could be much higher, as Bitwise's data only accounts for publicly announced transactions.
