Corporate bitcoin accumulation accelerated in January, but according to bitcointreasuries.net, nearly all the momentum came from a single heavyweight.
4.08 Million $BTC Held Across Entities, Says Bitcoin Treasuries Report
The January 2026 Corporate Adoption Report from bitcointreasuries.net shows that public and private entities added 43,228 $BTC during the month, valued at roughly $3.5 billion based on Jan. 31 pricing. After sales and reductions, net additions totaled 41,175 $BTC.
The report’s data highlights one clear driver: Strategy purchased 40,150 $BTC in January and ended the month holding 712,647 $BTC. That accounted for up to 97.5% of public-company buying after sales, marking the third consecutive month in which the firm dominated additions.
While total monthly buying approached levels seen last summer, bitcointreasuries.net researchers note that this rebound reflects concentrated accumulation rather than broad-based participation. Public treasuries now hold approximately 1.13 million $BTC, while all tracked entities — including ETFs and governments — hold about 4.08 million $BTC.
The analysis also points to Strategy’s long-range projections. Under its most aggressive model, the company’s Q4 2025 report outlines potential 2.5x growth in bitcoin per share by 2032, targeting 492,000 BPS under a 14% assumed annual bitcoin yield.
Beyond spot purchases, bitcointreasuries.net’s new digital credit dashboard tracks $26.8 billion in cumulative trading volume tied to preferred-share products and related instruments. Strategy’s offerings account for nearly all of that activity, with yield dispersion and pricing differences shaping investor appetite.
The research further identifies a committed cohort of repeat buyers. Of 194 public companies with bitcoin holdings, roughly one-third have added at least 1 $BTC per day on average since launching treasury strategies, and 20 firms average at least 10 $BTC per day.
Adoption continues to broaden. Since October, 21 new treasuries have been added to the bitcointreasuries.net coverage universe, contributing about 3% of non-Strategy buying over the past four months.
Still, concentration is rising. The report cites data showing increased inequality in corporate bitcoin holdings over the past two to three months, even when excluding the largest holder.
Mining firms remain influential, accounting for roughly 11% of public company balances, though January featured notable miner sales that weighed on net additions.
In short, the January report shows a sector that is expanding in headcount and product complexity — digital credit included — but still overwhelmingly shaped by one balance sheet that continues to set the pace.
