Bitcoin Blockchain Metrics Show Confidence; Corporate Holdings Grow
Bitcoin Realized Capitalization Reaches All-Time High
Key Bitcoin on-chain metrics indicate rising market strength. Bitcoin’s Realized Capitalization hit a new all-time high. It reached $872.2 billion according to CryptoQuant analysis.
Realized Capitalization is a significant metric. It values each Bitcoin based on its last transaction price. This provides a view of the total capital invested. It reflects the aggregate cost basis of holders.
Analyst Carmelo_Alemán views this ATH as positive. It suggests increasing confidence in the network. More capital is flowing into Bitcoin positions. This often signals long-term holder conviction. It may imply the current market cycle top is not yet reached. This metric points towards an ongoing accumulation phase.
Corporate Bitcoin Treasuries Expand Significantly
The trend of corporations holding Bitcoin continues strongly. Publicly traded companies now hold nearly 700,000 BTC. This data comes from a Q1 2025 Bitwise Asset Management report. This figure has more than doubled since 2023. In 2023, corporate holdings were just over 300,000 BTC.
This accumulation started significantly in 2020. MicroStrategy was a primary driver initially. The data reflects disclosures from public firms. It highlights Bitcoin’s growing acceptance as a corporate reserve asset.
MicroStrategy Dominates Corporate Holdings
MicroStrategy remains the dominant corporate Bitcoin holder. It accounts for 77% of all BTC held by public firms. This share has increased from 70% in 2023. It shows MicroStrategy’s accumulation outpaced others.
While its share dipped initially (to 58% in 2021), it has climbed back. In 2020, it held 83% of the corporate total. The company’s consistent buying strategy reinforces its dominance. This concentration highlights reliance on a single large player. However, the overall growth shows broadening adoption.

Japanese Firm MetaPlanet Boosts BTC Holdings
Japanese firm MetaPlanet exemplifies this corporate trend. It recently bought another 330 BTC for $28.23 million. This increased its total Bitcoin reserves to 4,855 BTC. These holdings are valued at around $425.37 million.
MetaPlanet maintains transparency about its holdings. On-chain data confirms transfers to cold storage wallets. This purchase signals growing institutional trust in Bitcoin. MetaPlanet’s average buy price is around $91,030. This demonstrates commitment despite market fluctuations. Its actions may encourage other Asian firms.
Decentralized Infrastructure Partnerships Form
Blockchain infrastructure development continues beyond Bitcoin. Renta Network partnered with SFT Protocol. Renta is a peer-to-peer on-chain rental platform. SFT Protocol offers decentralized infrastructure (DePIN).
SFT uses systems like Filecoin and IPFS. It aims to provide scalable storage and content delivery. Renta Network will leverage this infrastructure. It will manage rental agreements and digital assets securely. This collaboration links real-world asset utility (rentals) with decentralized technology. It focuses on scalability, privacy, and decentralization.
