The ETF reflects the rising corporate trend of adopting Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset, aiming to hedge against fiat currency inflation and boost shareholder value.
Accelerating corporate demand for BTC
The launch comes amid a sharp uptick in institutional Bitcoin buying.
Fidelity Digital Assets recently reported that public companies have acquired over 30,000 BTC per month in 2025, significantly outstripping supply from miners.
According to Fidelity, Bitcoin’s circulating exchange supply is falling, driven by continuous corporate accumulation.
Michael Saylor’s Strategy remains the largest corporate Bitcoin holder outside of exchanges, and continues its aggressive purchasing.
Bitcoin could hit fresh highs thanks to corporate accumulation
Bitcoin may be poised to reach new highs as corporate accumulation and renewed ETF inflows tighten supply, according to a client note from research and brokerage firm Bernstein on Monday.
Analysts led by Gautam Chhugani said that short-term comparisons between Bitcoin and assets like gold or the Nasdaq can be misleading, and more meaningful indicators include reduced retail selling, growing corporate treasury demand, and strong ETF inflows.
The note follows the announcement of Twenty One Capital, a new Bitcoin corporate treasury venture launched last week by SoftBank, Tether, Bitfinex, and Cantor Fitzgerald, starting with 42,000 BTC.
The venture is backed by $900 million from SoftBank, $1.5 billion from Tether, and $600 million from Bitfinex, with plans to merge with Cantor Equity Partners via a SPAC and raise another $585 million at closing.
Bernstein likened the strategy to that of Strategy, which raised $22 billion in 2024 and $8.6 billion so far in 2025 to expand its Bitcoin holdings.
The analysts noted that corporate accumulation is becoming more competitive, with around 80 companies now holding a combined 700,000 BTC—roughly 3.4% of the total supply.
