- Bitwise welcomes Fold and Bitdeer to its Bitcoin index.
- Fold Holdings’ BTC holdings value at $124 million.
- Bitdeer enhances its corporate Bitcoin integration.
The increase in the index’s participants reflects the ongoing adoption of Bitcoin in corporate treasuries, illustrating a significant embrace of digital assets by mainstream companies.
Fold Holdings now holds 1,485 BTC, valued at $124 million, while Bitdeer Technologies holds 1,090 BTC, valued at $91 million. Such integrations illustrate their Bitcoin strategy.
The index’s enlargement points towards industries increasingly adopting Bitcoin, indicating a more profound impact on market structures and business strategies. Companies are now more willing to integrate Bitcoin as a reserve asset.
Bitcoin is currently the leading cryptocurrency, valued at approximately $87,908 per BTC. It maintains a dominant market cap of $1.74 trillion, reflecting a 60.6% market dominance, according to CoinMarketCap data on March 25, 2025.
A lot of people wonder: Why do companies buy and hold bitcoin? The answer is simple: For the exact same reasons people do. Companies are sitting on trillions of dollars in cash, and they look at the U.S. government running a more than $2 trillion annual deficit and think, “This isn’t going to end well.” These companies perceive bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset that’s liquid and scarce—and not subject to the whims or money printing of any government. We think companies are only getting started here, and this ETF gives investors exposure to innovative firms at the forefront of this trend. — Matt Hougan, CIO, Bitwise Asset Management source
The rise in corporate Bitcoin adoption is expected to drive further regulatory scrutiny and potential enhancements in technological integrations. As Bitcoin continues increasing its institutional foothold, policy frameworks may evolve accordingly.
