Corporate Crypto Treasuries Grow as Firms Amass $100B in Digital Assets

According to a recent report by Galaxy Research, companies like Strategy, Metaplanet, and SharpLink have collectively acquired more than $100 billion in crypto holdings — signaling deepening institutional interest in the sector.

Bitcoin remains the dominant asset, with treasury firms holding over 791,000 BTC, valued at approximately $93 billion. This represents nearly 4% of the total Bitcoin supply in circulation. Meanwhile, Ether (ETH) is gaining momentum as a treasury asset, with companies owning around 1.3 million ETH — worth over $4 billion — or 1.09% of the total supply.

Galaxy’s report highlights a notable shift in how corporations are viewing Ether, particularly as it becomes a growing source of liquidity. Ether-based spot ETFs in the U.S. have posted 19 consecutive days of net inflows, reaching $5.3 billion since July 3, according to data from Farside Investors.

Financial giant Standard Chartered believes this trend is only just beginning. In a recent report , the bank projected Ether could surpass the $4,000 mark by year-end and predicted corporate treasuries might eventually hold 10% of all ETH — a tenfold increase from current levels. The bank emphasized Ether’s appeal lies in its regulatory flexibility and staking capabilities, making it more dynamic than Bitcoin in some strategic contexts.

Additionally, in July, Standard Chartered launched a fully integrated digital asset trading service, becoming the first global systemically important bank to offer spot crypto trading to institutional clients through a regulated framework. The new service, rolled out via the bank’s UK branch, enables trading of Bitcoin (XBT/USD) and Ether (XET/USD), with non-deliverable forwards (NDFs) set to follow.

The growing appetite for Ether among corporate treasuries suggests a broader institutional pivot — one that sees Ethereum not just as a speculative asset, but as a foundational piece of modern financial infrastructure.
