ETFs still hold the largest stash of bitcoin among single entities, with over 1.4 million BTC, which makes up about 6.8% of bitcoin’s capped supply of 21 million, according to CNBC.
The last time ETFs surpassed public companies in bitcoin buying was back in third-quarter 2024, before U.S. President Donald Trump secured reelection. In April 2025, despite market volatility from Trump’s tariff announcements, public companies expanded their bitcoin holdings by 4% outpacing the 2% growth seen among ETFs, according to CNBC.
