Bitcoin, with holdings reaching 1.3 million BTC across 180 firms, according to data from CryptoQuant reported by ZyCrypto. This represents a 31% increase in BTC holdings over the past 14 months.
Bitfinex's recent analysis, as reported by Crypto.news, delves into the strategies of companies like Strategy and Strive, which have been actively accumulating Bitcoin.
