Bitcoin Holdings by Public Firms Up 120% in 2025

Blockware, the research arm of Blockware Solutions, reported a 120% rise in the number of publicly listed companies holding BTC in 2025 alone. Many of these firms are either new market entrants or struggling businesses looking for alternative value storage methods.

The firm explains that companies with stagnating growth find it easier to commit retained earnings to Bitcoin, targeting compound annual growth rates of 40–60% without bearing traditional operational risks.

Data from BitcoinTreasuries.net shows that MicroStrategy leads the space with 597,325 BTC, holding nearly 12 times more than the second-largest holder, mining firm MARA Holdings with 50,000 BTC.

Analysts Caution Against Over-Reliance on Bitcoin Treasury Strategy

Despite the rapid expansion, not all experts are optimistic. Glassnode’s lead analyst James Check recently warned that the window for easy gains might be closing. On July 4, he expressed doubts about the long-term viability of the Bitcoin treasury model, saying that many firms might face liquidity challenges if NAV premiums decline.

A recent report by venture capital firm Breed echoed this sentiment, stating that only a handful of companies will survive the upcoming volatility. The report added that these treasury-heavy firms could play a critical role in the next crypto downturn.

Fed’s Move Could Ignite the Bear Market!

On March 8, Timothy Peterson posted on X, saying, “It only needs one trigger. I think that trigger may be as simple as the Fed not cutting rates at all this year.” Just a day earlier, Jerome Powell had stated that there’s no rush to lower interest rates.

Speaking in New York, Powell remarked, “We do not need to be in a hurry and are well-positioned to wait for greater clarity.” These statements have increased uncertainty in the markets.

Could Bitcoin Drop to $57,000?

Peterson, using his Nasdaq decline model, estimated that if a bear market begins, Nasdaq could drop by 17%. Adapting this to Bitcoin, he predicted a 33% decrease, potentially bringing BTC down to $57,000.

However, Peterson noted that such a drop is unlikely. “Traders and opportunists hover over Bitcoin like vultures,” he explained, adding that if Bitcoin approaches $57,000, buyers will likely step in before it gets that low. He expects Bitcoin to bottom closer to the $70,000 range.

Peterson recalled how, in 2022, many expected Bitcoin to bottom at $12,000, but it only dropped to $16,000. “The same could happen here. If the bottom is expected at $57,000, a 25% higher level would be around $71,000,” he added.

Bitcoin was trading near $71,000 on November 6, after Donald Trump won the US election. It then rallied for a month, surpassing $100,000 by December 5.

In January 2025, Arthur Hayes forecasted a correction in BTC prices to the $70,000–$75,000 range. He also predicted a rally to $250,000 by the end of the year. Blockware Solutions offered a more conservative bear case, projecting Bitcoin could reach $150,000 in 2025 if the Fed reverses its stance on interest rate cuts.

The post Fed Not Cutting Rates at All in 2025 May Trigger a Bear Market! appeared first on Coin Engineer.

Since February 27, the top two Bitcoin miners, Marathon Digital Holdings (MARA) and Riot Platforms (RIOT) have fallen by 18.5% and 21.9% respectively. Other mining companies like CleanSpark (CLSK) and TeraWulf (WULF) also experienced large drops.

On the other hand, the value of Bitcoin recently rose from $51,000 to almost $63,700, but eventually fell back to $61,350. In the meantime, gold supporter and crypto opponent Peter Schiff is one of those who noticed this decline in Bitcoin mining shares and thinks this situation could be a sign of troubles ahead for Bitcoin.

A crypto investor named “Chris” states that he quickly changed his stance on mining shares as Bitcoin approached the $65,000 level while investing in shares like CleanSpark.

The chief analyst of Blockware Solutions, Mitchell Askew, stated that the most “logical” explanation for this decline is investors’ reluctance to invest capital due to the rapidly approaching halving event.

The halving event will see Bitcoin miners’ rewards drop from 6.25 BTC, or $586,800 at current prices, to 3.125 BTC, or $293,400 at current prices.

Askew pointed out that there have been two major drops in Bitcoin and Bitcoin mining shares in the last 12 months, and both instances were great opportunities to buy mining shares at a discounted price.

The founder and chief mining strategist of Hashlabs Mining, Jaran Mellerud, thinks that the 3-4 months following the Bitcoin halving could be a critical period for public miners in the United States, and that some high-cost miners may relocate abroad to maintain profitability.

Askew highlighted it’s “foolish” to think that the halving will leave them facing the risk of being unprofitable.

“They have the lowest energy costs and have acquired the latest generation hardware in preparation for the decrease in block rewards,” said Askew in his statement.
