Bitcoin is currently stable at the $110,000 level, more than a week after soaring to an all-time high of over $126,000.
Bitcoin prices fell from a 24-hour high of around $113,600 to a low of $110,000 today. The move followed a wild weekend in which more than $19 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated and more than 1.6 million traders exited their positions as cascading margin calls swept across exchanges.
Bitcoin prices fell to the low $100,000s on Friday, October 10, as trade tensions between the United States and China roiled global markets. President Donald Trump announced new 100% tariffs on Chinese goods after the Chinese government announced sweeping export controls scheduled to begin on November 1st.
At the time of this writing, Bitcoin is trading at around $111,500.
Bitcoin and growing corporate interest
According to Bitwise Asset Management’s latest Corporate Bitcoin Adoption Report, corporate interest in Bitcoin accelerated sharply in Q3 2025, with 172 publicly traded companies currently holding Bitcoin (up 38.7% from the previous quarter).
The total amount of Bitcoin held by public companies amounted to 1.02 million BTC, accounting for nearly 4.9% of the total Bitcoin supply.
This marked a 20.9% quarter-over-quarter increase due to significant additions from new entrants and existing holders. At a price of approximately $114,000 per Bitcoin, these holdings were worth $117 billion, an increase of 28% from the second quarter.
Leading the way is Strategy with 640,031 BTC, followed by MARA Holdings (52,850 BTC), XXI (43,514 BTC), Metaplanet (30,823 BTC), and Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company (30,021 BTC).
Notably, Metaplanet has more than doubled its Bitcoin position in the past three months.
Key developments this quarter included Strive’s acquisition of Semler Scientific in the first major Bitcoin Treasury M&A transaction and the launch of a $1.5 billion Bitcoin SPAC by Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company. Meanwhile, Bullish, a cryptocurrency exchange backed by Block.one, went public with over 24,000 BTC.
In Q3, companies added a total of 176,762 BTC. This shows that institutional investors are becoming more confident even as Bitcoin’s price continues to rise.
In Q3 2025, Bitcoin rose 6.2% despite its weakest quarter in history, reaching all-time highs of $123,000, $124,000, and $126,000 shortly after the quarter ended.
Broad equity markets also rose, with precious metals, particularly silver and gold, outperforming due to the ongoing “down-market” trade. According to the NYDIG study, while the correlation between Bitcoin and U.S. stocks remains high, the correlation with gold remains near zero, indicating that Bitcoin is not fully functioning as “digital gold.”
All this data highlights a clear trend that Bitcoin is no longer just for retail investors. Companies are increasingly positioning Bitcoin as a strategic reserve and long-term hedge.
