This year, institutional demand for Bitcoin has skyrocketed to unprecedented levels.
As of October 8, Bitcoin exchange-traded products (ETPs) and listed companies around the world have collectively acquired 944,330 BTC, which has already exceeded the total amount purchased in all of 2024.
To put this in perspective, these institutions have purchased approximately 7.4 times the new supply of Bitcoin mined this year.
With only three months left until 2025, it’s safe to assume that interest rates are only going to rise.
Bitcoin Institutional Statistics from September
According to a monthly report shared by Bitcoin Treasury with Bitcoin Magazine, in September 2025, public and private government bonds added a combined 46,187 BTC (approximately $5.3 billion worth), recording steady growth comparable to the 47,718 BTC increase in August.
By the end of the month, tracked entities collectively held more than 3.8 million BTC (worth about $435 billion), including holdings by public and private companies, governments, ETFs and similar entities, and DeFi platforms.
Approximately 130 companies outside the US currently hold 96,997 BTC, reflecting the ongoing global adoption, according to the report.
As of September 30, 2025, a total of 338 entities were tracked to hold Bitcoin, including 265 public and private companies. The number of listed companies has more than doubled since January, reflecting adoption by a growing number of institutions.
In September alone, 26 new entities were added: 18 public companies and 8 private companies. Publicly traded Bitcoin treasury companies continue to dominate the market, and analysts at bitcointreasuries.net suggest they will continue to be the main driver of initial public listings and Bitcoin acquisitions.
The largest Bitcoin holders include MicroStrategy Inc. (MSTR) from the US with 640,031 BTC, Marathon Digital Holdings, Inc. (MARA) from the US with 52,850 BTC, 21Shares/XXI (CEP) from the US with 43,514 BTC, Metaplanet Inc.
