1. The Altcoin Treasury Movement: Expanding Beyond Bitcoin
While Bitcoin has long been the dominant treasury asset (with companies like MicroStrategy, Tesla, and Block allocating billions), an emerging pattern sees public companies increasingly diversifying into altcoins—non-Bitcoin tokens like Ethereum and Solana—as part of their corporate treasury strategies.

2. Spotlight on Leading Altcoin Treasury Holders
Ethereum (ETH) Treasury Holdings
Public firms are significantly ramping up their ETH holdings:
BitMine Immersion Technologies now holds over $1 billion in ETH, having initially committed $250 million. This accumulation has helped drive its stock up over 480% year-to-date.
Ether Machine, preparing for a Nasdaq debut, currently manages over 495,000 ETH (worth ~$2.16 billion) and has secured $367 million additional capital for future ETH acquisitions.
As of July 2025, publicly traded companies collectively held approximately 966,304 ETH, worth around $3.5 billion—a steep rise from under 116,000 ETH at the end of 2024.
Altcoins like Ethereum are gaining favor due to their staking potential, DeFi integration, and structural utility—contrasting with Bitcoin’s position primarily as a store of value.
Solana (SOL) Treasury Strategies
Solana is also emerging as an altcoin treasury asset, with public firms like Upexi, DeFi Development, and SOL Strategies holding hundreds of thousands of SOL, often staking them to generate yields and long-term value.
These holdings leverage Solana’s fast transaction speeds, low fees, and vibrant DeFi ecosystem.

3. Continued Dominance of Bitcoin—And Why
Despite the growing interest in altcoins, Bitcoin remains a dominant treasury asset:
As of early 2025, Strategy Inc. (formerly MicroStrategy) holds around 636,505 BTC, accounting for roughly 3% of the total Bitcoin supply.
Other top public Bitcoin holders include MARA Holdings, Twenty-One Capital (XXI), Bitcoin Standard Treasury, Bullish, Metaplanet, Trump Media & Technology Group, CleanSpark, and Coinbase.
