Fact Check
All claim figures—1.24M BTC held by US-listed companies, 92.7% share of public-company holdings, 510K BTC added over 12 months, and exceeding mined output by more than three times—are consistently reported by the originating @cryptounfolded/Unfolded post and independent crypto outlets (CryptoValleyJournal, Publish0x), which trace the data to River's report 'America is the global Bitcoin superpower.' The consistency across multiple sources and a traceable underlying dataset supports the claim. Confidence is medium rather than high because the figures depend on a single primary data provider (River/Unfolded) rather than an official regulatory disclosure.
Summary
US-listed companies now hold 1.24 million BTC, accounting for 92.7% of the bitcoin held by publicly listed companies worldwide, PANews reported on July 31, citing data from Unfolded. The figures show U.S. public companies added 510,000 BTC over the past 12 months, a pace that was more than three times larger than bitcoin mining output in the same period. The data highlights how listed corporations in the United States have become the dominant source of public-market bitcoin accumulation, outpacing new supply from miners.
