Strategy leads massive corporate Bitcoin buying in 2026

In 2026, corporate entities have emerged as the primary drivers of Bitcoin accumulation, purchasing a total of 193,000 BTC. This volume is nearly 20 times the amount purchased by nation-states during the same period. According to data from River Financial, total corporate holdings have reached 1.64 million BTC, representing approximately 7.8% of the total Bitcoin supply.

The market shows a significant divergence between institutional and individual behavior. While businesses have seen year-to-date inflows of $15.7 billion, individuals have been net sellers of 93,000 BTC. Additionally, Bitcoin miners have offloaded approximately 33,000 BTC, reportedly to fund investments in artificial intelligence infrastructure.

Market concentration is extremely high, with Strategy accounting for over 91% of corporate purchases, acquiring roughly 175,000 BTC. Together with Strive, these two firms accounted for the vast majority of net business purchases. Strategy currently holds 848,000 BTC. Other notable activity includes a $25 million Bitcoin purchase by Robinhood.
