BTC holdings of public companies soared in 2021

Public companies holding ‘significant BTC have gained market share from spot ETFs as a way to access BTC exposure on public equity markets, claimed on-chain analyst Willy Woo

The quantity of Bitcoin (BTC) held by public companies increased significantly during 2021, building on increases from the previous year.

In a Monday tweet, on-chain analyst Willy Woo claimed that public companies holding ‘significant BTC have gained market share from spot ETFs as a way to access BTC exposure on public equity markets.

This has been more noticeable since MicroStrategy’s “Bitcoin for Corporations” conference on Feb. 3 and 4, 2021. The online seminar aimed to explain the legal considerations for firms seeking to integrate Bitcoin into their businesses and reserves.

Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy is a leading business intelligence firm and is known for being particularly bullish on BTC, owning almost $6 billion in crypto assets.

On Thursday, Saylor’s firm purchased a further 1,914 BTC worth $94 million. The company has gained more than $2.1 billion in profit since its initial Bitcoin purchase in August 2020.

Woo referenced a chart of BTC holdings inside exchange-traded funds (ETF) and public company treasuries available for public ownership via equity markets, based on crowdsourced corporate treasury data.

Spot ETFs hold BTC, as opposed to futures, in which companies purchase exposure via contracts from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange futures market.

The data shows that digital currency asset management company Grayscale had gained the highest market share by a landslide at 645,199 BTC by the end of 2021. This took up 71% of the wider market as holdings of all spot ETFs and corporations together totalled 903,988 BTC, according to the chart.

MicroStrategy is the largest corporate investor, holding 124,391 BTC valued at around $5.8 billion, according to Bitcoin Treasuries. Second-placed Tesla holds around 43,200 BTC worth roughly $2 billion at current prices.
