Whale Surge: Top Altcoins Poised for Volatility as July Whale Accumulation Intensifies
Public companies have significantly increased their Bitcoin purchases in the first half of 2025, totaling around 245,000 BTC — more than twice the amount purchased by Bitcoin ETFs during the same period. The number of public firms owning Bitcoin has surged as a result of this corporate purchasing frenzy; from 67 at the beginning of the year to 141 by July, marking a 110% gain in just six months.
Recent significant buys show the momentum: Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) added 4,980 BTC (~$531 million) to its treasury, so raising its total holdings to an astounding 597,325 BTC. Metaplanet, a Japanese corporation, purchased 1,005 BTC; Trump Media and Technology Group said it would raise $2. 5 billion only for Bitcoin holdings. This week, several unnamed public firms have also followed the trend, helping to maintain a constant quarterly outperformance of ETFs by public companies in BTC accumulation.
Favorable political and legal changes — most notably President Trump’s executive order for a U. S. Bitcoin reserve — help to drive this historic corporate purchasing spree. For financial as well as strategic purposes, these headwinds have driven businesses to increase their Bitcoin holdings. In 2025, the fast rate of accumulation is breaking records and signals more strong purchasing as businesses look for a competitive edge in the changing digital asset landscape.
