The landscape of Bitcoin ownership in 2025 underwent a radical transformation toward institutional centralization. Recent data reveals that the world’s 21 largest wallets aggressively increased their reserves, adding a total of approximately 476,000 BTC throughout 2025. This behavior illustrates a clear trend: while retail participation remains fragmented, large corporations and states are consolidating their control over the asset’s limited supply. MicroStrategy, one of the protagonists of this shift, reaffirmed itself as the undisputed corporate titan by expanding its reserve by 226,000 BTC, reaching a total of 672,000 units.

In the coming years, this more concentrated ownership structure could reduce available liquidity, making the market much more sensitive to the movements of these major players.
