A growing number of public firms may begin purchasing Bitcoin in substantial quantities in the next five years, with more than $300 billion potentially entering the cryptocurrency by 2030.
That’s what researchers at Bernstein, an asset manager that monitors corporate appetite for Bitcoin, say in a new report. Their estimates hinge on the assumption that additional firms will follow in the footsteps of Strategy’s tactics of retaining Bitcoin as a central component of their balance sheets.
Strategy Sets The Tone
MicroStrategy, now doing business under the name Strategy, has already made waves with its aggressive Bitcoin buys. The firm now sits with 555,450 BTC. That inventory has cost them approximately $38 billion, with an average of $68,550 per coin. Recently, they purchased another 1,895 BTC for $180 million.
Bernstein projects that corporate treasury investments in #Bitcoin could reach $330 billion by 2029, with Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) potentially contributing $124 billion of that total. This forecast underscores the growing institutional interest in Bitcoin as a treasury…

Bernstein believes that this strategy gains traction. Its report states companies with sluggish growth and plenty of excess cash could be attracted to Bitcoin as an alternative destination to invest their cash.
Between 2025 and 2030, listed firms alone could steer some $205 billion toward Bitcoin. Adding to that is another $124 billion which could be made by companies following Strategy’s systematic blueprint to investment in the top crypto.
Treasuries Could Fuel Demand
In Bernstein’s words, some movement, no matter how little, would lead to a great impact. This gigantic flow would amount to $190 billion if just 20% of related firms were to transfer 25% of their treasury balance into an investment in Bitcoin. These firms have very low growth and few compelling investment opportunities. That could make Bitcoin simply look good for capital investment for them.
Currently, public companies already possess approximately 720,898 BTC, which is valued at almost $68 billion. That’s a significant increase from the 1.3% of the total supply of Bitcoin that they had in late 2023. Today, it’s 3.4%. Private companies are not far behind, possessing approximately 398,323 BTC, valued at a little over $37 billion.
Increasing Interest And Limited Supply
The surge in corporate Bitcoin ownership is occurring alongside evolving regulation and accounting practices. These changes might be facilitating more ease of access for companies to look into Bitcoin with less bureaucratic red tape. Additionally, with fewer coins on the market and easier access to capital, businesses might become the force behind increased demand—and possibly even prices.
Bernstein cites Strategy’s work in this revolution. The company has developed systems and tools that enable it to continue purchasing Bitcoin, even through challenging market periods. Not every company can follow suit, but the framework exists for others to attempt it.

They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that’s not just a metaphor, it’s a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.
Christian’s journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).
Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling – right up his alley!
So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he’s one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill).
Think Christian’s all work and no play? Not a chance! When he’s not at his computer, you’ll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.
Speaking of chill, Christian’s got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin’ helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.
Here’s the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day – and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.
Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors – and bosses – he deeply respects.
So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
