Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman for Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) | X

Michael Saylor, executive chairman of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), said that public companies increased their bitcoin holdings more rapidly than exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the second quarter. The statement was made on X.

"Public companies acquired about 131,000 coins in the second quarter, growing their bitcoin balance 18%, according to data provider Bitcoin Treasuries," said Saylor. "ETFs showed an 8% increase or about 111,000 BTC in the same period."

During the second quarter of 2025, both corporate and ETF bitcoin acquisitions surged, with public companies notably outpacing ETFs in direct bitcoin accumulation. According to CoinDesk, public firms added about 131,000 BTC—a record 18% increase from the first quarter—while ETFs saw inflows of roughly 111,000 BTC, reflecting only an 8% growth. This trend highlights a strategic move among corporations to hold bitcoin directly rather than rely solely on passive investment vehicles.

According to data cited by AInvest, public companies’ total bitcoin holdings jumped to around 131,000 BTC in Q2 2025, representing an 18% quarterly increase. In contrast, bitcoin ETFs collectively held an additional 111,000 BTC, showing an 8% growth. These official figures underscore the increasing dominance of corporate treasuries in the bitcoin market, effectively doubling the ETF inflows over the first half of the year.

BeInCrypto reports that in Q2 2025, corporate bitcoin holdings grew by 18%, significantly outpacing the 8% growth seen in bitcoin ETFs during the same period. This marks the third consecutive quarter where public companies have surpassed ETFs in bitcoin accumulation, reflecting a growing preference among corporations for direct ownership as opposed to ETF exposure.

According to Wikipedia, Michael Saylor is the executive chairman and co-founder of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), where he served as CEO until 2022 before focusing on the company’s bitcoin acquisition strategy. Saylor is widely recognized for advocating bitcoin as a corporate treasury asset and leading Strategy to become the largest public holder of bitcoin while regularly speaking on the role of digital assets in corporate finance.

As described by Investopedia, Strategy—formerly MicroStrategy—was founded in 1989 as a business intelligence software company before shifting its focus in 2020 to aggressively acquiring bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset. Now holding nearly 600,000 BTC, Strategy’s mission includes driving financial transformation through bitcoin ownership while continuing to offer enterprise analytics software.
