According to a report by Bitcoin financial services company River, businesses are purchasing Bitcoin at an average rate of 1,755 BTC per day in 2025, which is nearly four times the daily output of Bitcoin miners, who generate about 450 BTC. This disparity between acquisition and production could indicate a potential supply shock if exchange reserves continue to diminish. In addition to businesses, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) bought an average of 1,430 BTC per day, while governments added around 39 BTC daily. The collective purchasing power of businesses, governments, and ETFs has led to significant demand, raising concerns about dwindling Bitcoin exchange reserves, which are at multi-year lows. Notably, companies like Michael Saylor’s Strategy have become the largest holders of Bitcoin, accumulating substantial amounts off exchanges to minimize market impact. Analysts are speculating that the ongoing demands could act as a bullish catalyst for Bitcoin's price, prompting discussions around the implications of increasing institutional interest in cryptocurrency.
