Viewpoint: Bitcoin’s scarcity is accelerating from “total quantity limit” to “circulation compression”

PANews reported on April 22 that according to OKG Research analysis, as of April 22, 2025, nearly 90 listed companies around the world hold a total of 710,000 bitcoins, accounting for 3.2% of the total BTC supply. Compared with 307,000 bitcoins in the same period of 2024, the year-on-year growth rate exceeded 130%, and the structural accumulation trend has significantly accelerated. Among them, Strategy holds 538,000 BTC, accounting for more than 75%; the top ten companies together control 94.5% of company-level holdings. At the same time, the number of new addresses on the BTC chain continued to decline, and the frequency of active transactions also dropped to a low point in the cycle.

OKG Research pointed out that the divergence of "concentrated holdings + user slowdown" reflects that Bitcoin is evolving from an early trading asset to a structural reserve tool for institutional allocators. Especially after the opening of spot ETFs, a large number of traditional financial institutions and asset management accounts have participated in BTC market allocation in a more covert but stable way through off-chain subscription and on-chain custody.
