Bitcoin Treasury Companies, ETFs Generating Huge Demand For BTC
In a Tuesday interview with CNBC’s Closing Bell Overtime, the Bitcoin bull noted that corporate Bitcoin adoption, along with the aggressive buying by spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the US and elsewhere on behalf of institutional investors, is snatching up all the natural supply.
According to Saylor, Bitcoin-focused firms are scooping up even more of the premier crypto than the natural supply being minted by the miners, which is putting upward pressure on the BTC price.
Data from Bitbo shows that miners created around 900 Bitcoin per day. A report recently found that private businesses and public companies are absorbing 1,755 Bitcoin per day in 2025, while ETFs are gobbling up an additional 1,430 daily this year. This indicates that Bitcoin’s shift from retail speculation to institutional-grade asset is now unmistakable.
Notably, Saylor’s Bitcoin treasury giant Strategy currently holds over 3% of the total Bitcoin supply (roughly 639,835 BTC valued at around $72.27 billion at the time of writing) and continues to snatch up more every month. These flows by Strategy and other institutional buyers pull coins off exchanges, tightening the liquid supply in the market.
 
Over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin has traded at $113,176 before sliding to an intraday low of $111,369, which had traders sweating bullets as bears threatened to break below the asset’s multi-month support level.
At press time, Bitcoin has recovered above the psychologically critical $112,000 level, but sellers continue to dominate.
Saylor suggested that the continued bulk buying by companies and ETFs could trigger a potential supply shock if exchange reserves continue to shrink and the institutions continue to HODL their coins. Such a supply shock will be a bullish catalyst for Bitcoin’s price.
“I think that as we work through the resistance of late and some macro headwinds, we’ll actually see Bitcoin start to move up smartly again toward the end of the year,” Saylor continued.
He has previously indicated that his Nasdaq-listed firm could end up holding upwards of 7% of the alpha crypto’s total supply. Only 21 million BTC will ever be minted, with the last coin expected to be created in the year 2140.
