Bitcoin remains stable in the $110,000 range today, just over a week after hitting a record high above $126,000.
The price of Bitcoin dipped from 24-hour peaks of around $113,600 to the low $110,000s today. This movement follows a tumultuous weekend that resulted in the liquidation of over $19 billion in leveraged positions, affecting more than 1.6 million traders as margin calls cascaded across exchanges.
The Bitcoin price fell to the low $100,000s on Friday, October 10, amid trade tensions between the U.S. and China that disturbed global markets. President Donald Trump announced new 100% tariffs on Chinese imports following Beijing’s extensive export controls set to begin on November 1.
As of now, Bitcoin is trading around $111,500.
The Rise of Corporate Interest in Bitcoin
Interest from corporations in Bitcoin surged significantly in the third quarter of 2025, with 172 publicly traded companies now holding the cryptocurrency—a 38.7% increase from the previous quarter, according to Bitwise Asset Management’s latest Corporate Bitcoin Adoption report.
The total Bitcoin held by these public firms reached 1.02 million BTC, making up nearly 4.9% of the entire Bitcoin supply.
This is a 20.9% increase quarter on quarter, driven by both new and existing investors. Valued at approximately $114,000 per Bitcoin, these holdings amount to $117 billion, marking a 28% rise since Q2.
Leading the pack is Strategy, holding 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 more than doubled its Bitcoin holdings in the last three months.
Significant developments this quarter included Strive’s acquisition of Semler Scientific—the first major Bitcoin treasury M&A transaction—and the introduction of a $1.5 billion Bitcoin SPAC by the Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company. Additionally, Bullish, a crypto exchange backed by Block.one, went public with over 24,000 BTC in its possession.
In total, corporations added 176,762 BTC in Q3, indicating a growing institutional commitment as Bitcoin’s price continues to rise.
In Q3 2025, Bitcoin increased by 6.2%, despite historically being the weakest quarter, reaching landmark prices of $123K, $124K, and $126K shortly after the end of the quarter.
The broader equities market also saw a rally, with precious metals like silver and gold outperforming due to the ongoing “debasement trade.” Bitcoin’s correlation with U.S. equities has remained high, while its correlation with gold has hovered near zero, suggesting it hasn’t completely assumed the role of “digital gold,” as per NYDIG research.
This data highlights a clear movement: Bitcoin is no longer solely the domain of retail investors. Companies are increasingly seeing Bitcoin as a strategic reserve and a long-term hedge.
