The 'Corporate Crypto Treasury' model, where companies directly hold and manage cryptocurrencies, is rapidly emerging. This is interpreted as a signal that institutional investors' interest in cryptocurrencies is becoming full-fledged, as publicly listed companies are establishing themselves as market participants by crossing the boundaries of traditional finance and digital assets.
According to a report released by Galaxy Research on the 4th (local time), major listed companies such as Strategy, Metaplanet, and SharpLink, which hold large-scale digital assets, have accumulated cryptocurrencies totaling $10 billion (approximately 139 trillion won). The main assets of these crypto treasury companies are Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), with Bitcoin accounting for most of the holdings.
According to the report, corporate Bitcoin holdings total 791,662 BTC, which is approximately $9.3 billion (about 129 trillion won) at market value and represents 3.98% of the total circulating Bitcoin. For Ethereum, listed companies hold over 1.3 million ETH, which is approximately $4 billion (about 5.56 trillion won) and accounts for 1.09% of the total circulation. This indicates that cryptocurrencies are moving to the center of 'corporate financial strategy' as companies incorporate meaningful levels of digital assets into long-term holdings.
This movement also impacts market liquidity. The report stated that "corporate purchases have emerged as a key source of ETH liquidity along with the recently launched spot-based Ethereum ETF." In fact, the US ETH spot ETF has experienced consecutive net inflows for 19 trading days, breaking the longest net inflow record since the product's launch. This suggests that investor confidence and underlying asset demand are expanding simultaneously.
As major politicians, including former President Trump, are expressing a favorable stance towards digital assets, it is expected that the number of companies adopting crypto treasury will increase. At a time when institutional fund flows are leading to structural changes in the cryptocurrency market, Corporate Crypto Treasury is emerging as a new model of strategic asset management beyond simple investment.
