Parataxis Joins a Growing List of Bitcoin Treasury Companies

The mainstream demand for Bitcoin as a tool for treasury management has grown exponentially in the past year. According to market data from BitcoinTreasuries, 289 entities have increased their Bitcoin holdings by 4.3 percent in the past 30 days to hover around 3.65 million coins.

Strategy (NASDAQ: MSTR) has led the cohorts with a current holding of about 628,791 BTCs, worth around $72.4 billion.

Market Impact

The rising demand for Bitcoin as a tool for treasury management by corporations has caused a dramatic supply vs demand shock. According to market data from CoinGlass, the overall supply of Bitcoin on centralized exchanges has declined to a multi-year low of around 2 million coins.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s hash rate has skyrocketed to a new all-time high of about 892 EH/s. The combination of positive fundamentals will lead to a major bull market in the coming quarters, especially after $BTC price reached a new ATH of above $122k in mid-July.
