New Regulations Fuel $11 Billion Bitcoin Race in Global Corporate Treasuries
As regulatory clarity in the United States grows, the wave of Bitcoin accumulation is spreading rapidly among businesses. In just one month, 22 public companies have accumulated a total of $11.3 billion worth of Bitcoin, marking a notable step toward legitimizing the digital asset as part of their corporate treasury strategies.
Bitcoin Continues to Expand Its Influence in Corporate Treasuries
According to the latest report from Matador Technologies, a Canada-based financial technology company, major corporations are accelerating their race to “store digital gold.” The report says:
GameStop is leading the new wave by acquiring 4,710 BTC through a $1.75 billion conversion.
In Asia, Japan’s Metaplanet aims to build a treasury of up to 210,000 BTC, showing ambitions beyond just financial hedging.
Regulatory Drive: US Paves Way for Digital Asset Race
The surge in corporate Bitcoin holdings is believed to stem from positive developments in the regulatory framework in the US. Currently, two important bills are being considered by the US Congress:
The CLARITY Act – which aims to establish an overall structure for the digital asset market
The GENIUS Act – which focuses on the stablecoin sector, providing clear rules for issuers
An analyst at Matador commented:
“A stable regulatory framework is the strongest catalyst for legitimizing Bitcoin as an official reserve asset.”
Sovereign Bitcoin Treasuries: As Governments Jump Into the Game
It’s not just businesses, governments and states in the United States are also stepping up their Bitcoin hoarding:
President Donald Trump formalized the federal strategic Bitcoin reserve on March 6, with over 200,000 BTC now held largely from digital asset seizures.
Texas and Arizona are considering creating their own state-specific Bitcoin treasuries, signaling a political trend taking shape.
Aside from the United States, many other countries are also not keen to be left out:
Japan, Brazil, the Czech Republic, and Pakistan are all evaluating the possibility of allocating national Bitcoin reserves.
However, the Czech Republic is facing a scandal involving Bitcoin donations, highlighting the potential political risks of the asset.
Bitcoin Rebounds Amid Global Tensions: A Signal of Intrinsic Strength
Despite geopolitical tensions – notably following Israel’s attack on Iran Bitcoin has rallied to $105,000, demonstrating its growing resistance to volatility.
Matador Technologies notes:
“The fact that Bitcoin is publicly held by governments and companies is making it a true ‘crisis-proof’ asset in the digital age.”
Bottom Line: Bitcoin Is No Longer an Alternative It’s a Core Strategy
As more businesses and countries formalize Bitcoin as part of their long-term financial strategy, the asset is moving from the fringe to the mainstream.
With over $11 billion accumulated in a month, an increasingly mature regulatory framework, and the involvement of both governments and major corporations, Bitcoin may be entering its strongest period of maturity since the pandemic.
