Public companies held 1.15 million Bitcoin in the first quarter of 2026, up 4.6% from the previous quarter, according to the provided figures. Those holdings represented 5.47% of Bitcoin’s total supply, showing that a growing share of the asset is now held on listed corporate balance sheets. Despite the increase in BTC held, the combined value of those positions fell 18.9% quarter over quarter to $77 billion, indicating the decline was driven by Bitcoin’s market price rather than by a reduction in corporate accumulation. The data says 187 public companies held Bitcoin during the quarter, with Strategy, MARA, and Metaplanet listed as the largest holders.
