Public companies disclosed investments of $76 billion in cryptocurrencies, according to a report by DWF Ventures.
In a significant shift towards digital assets, public companies have been increasingly adopting crypto investment strategies, as revealed in a recent research report by DWF Ventures. This trend, which has seen more than $40 billion invested in the past year alone, is transforming the way these companies manage their digital asset portfolios.
The report highlights 14 publicly listed companies, including the Michael Saylor-led Strategy, Trump Media, GameStop, Metaplanet, Tesla, and Semler Scientific, as major participants in this trend. Collectively, these companies now hold digital assets worth an impressive $76 billion.
The scale of investment is noteworthy, with more than $40 billion invested in the past year alone. Key players like Strategy, with a dominant $67 billion investment, are leading this charge. Other notable companies include Trump Media, GameStop, and Metaplanet.
Public companies are employing various financial instruments to raise capital and build crypto treasuries. These include Private Investment in Public Equity (PIPE), At-The-Market (ATM) Equity Sales, Credit Facilities, Reverse Mergers, and Traditional Company Treasury allocations. Among these, PIPE and convertible notes are particularly popular methods used by companies like Trump Media, Interactive Strength, and GameStop to fund their crypto acquisitions.
While Bitcoin remains the predominant asset, some companies are diversifying their holdings into altcoins. Examples include investments in Binance Coin (BNB) by Nano Labs, as well as Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Sui (SUI), and TRON (TRX) by other firms. This expanding interest beyond Bitcoin alone reflects a growing trend of diversification in crypto treasury investments.
This report underscores a growing trend of public companies not just holding Bitcoin but adopting sophisticated strategies for treasury management, capital raising, and asset diversification. It signals broader institutional acceptance and integration of crypto assets into corporate finance.
