Корпоративные аккумулирования биткоинов растут, несмотря на волатильность рынка Translated: Corporate Bitcoin Accumulations Surge Despite Market Volatility

From July to September, 48 new companies began accumulating the first cryptocurrency. The total number of corporate holders of digital gold has reached 172, as noted by Bitwise.

Hunter Horsley, the CEO of the asset management firm, called the figures «remarkable.» He emphasized that interest in Bitcoin is not limited to individual investors but also includes public firms.

The combined holdings of these companies have exceeded 1 million BTC, valued at $117 billion, which represents 4.87% of the total supply of digital gold. The largest holder remains Michael Saylor’s Strategy, possessing 640,250 BTC worth $71.9 billion, followed by MARA Holdings with 53,250 BTC valued at $5.9 billion.

According to Rachel Lucas, an analyst at BTC Markets, the increasing number of crypto-focused firms indicates that «big players are doubling down rather than retreating.» Early in September, CryptoQuant specialists mentioned a sharp slowdown in the growth rate of corporate Bitcoin reserves.

Lucas believes this trend will continue. In a comment to Cointelegraph, she highlighted that companies acquiring digital assets are not seeking short-term gains but are making long-term strategic decisions.

Corporate treasuries continue to accumulate Bitcoin, but its price remains volatile. Lucas pointed out several factors contributing to this reaction.

The first factor is the method of accumulation. Companies typically purchase cryptocurrency through the over-the-counter (OTC) market. This strategy helps avoid slippage but does not immediately impact the spot prices of the asset.

The second reason is the counteracting market forces. While public companies are buying the asset, other participants exert downward pressure, such as taking profits at local highs or amplifying price fluctuations through derivative instruments.

Widespread sell-offs are also triggered by macroeconomic events, including the recent trade tensions between the US and China. This has resulted in liquidation volumes on the crypto market exceeding $19 billion, with the Bitcoin price dropping below $110,000.

Edward Carroll, head of markets at MHC Digital Group, noted that despite the lack of noticeable price reaction, the fundamental imbalance in the market is intensifying. He stated that this will have a «positive impact on the price of digital gold in the medium and long term.»

Demand for Bitcoin will be «orderly and will continue to grow in the coming years.» A significant consequence of this process will be the gradual weakening of the asset’s correlation with general market sentiment, the expert emphasized.

According to Bitbo, miners produce approximately 900 BTC daily, while companies acquire an average of 1,755 BTC.

As a reminder, CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler stated that Bitcoin has passed the maturity test.
