Fact Check

The Benzinga report explicitly confirms the claim's core figures: 'Public companies now hold 1.28 million BTC worth $76 billion, representing 6.11% of total supply,' attributed to Bitwise. The Cryptonews report on the Bitwise Q3 2026 Crypto Market Review independently confirms 1.28M BTC (6.11% of supply) with Strategy as the largest holder. The blockchainreporter article confirms the ranked list of top holders (Strategy far ahead of Twenty One Capital, Marathon, Metaplanet, Bullish, Strive, Galaxy, Hut 8, Riot, Coinbase). The only minor discrepancy is that blockchainreporter cites a different dataset (Phoenix Group: ~1.2M BTC / $79B) versus the Bitwise figure in the claim (1.28M / $76B); these are two separate trackers, and the claim's specific Bitwise numbers are directly and precisely corroborated.
