The number of publicly traded companies holding bitcoin rose sharply to 125 firms, a 58% increase that added 46 new corporate entrants to the crypto space.

GameStop, Trump Media, and Global Interest Drive Expansion

Meanwhile, Trump Media announced plans to raise $2.5 billion specifically for bitcoin purchases, underscoring how even politically linked firms are moving into crypto.

Elsewhere, Japan’s Metaplanet (3350), listed in Tokyo, surpassed major corporations like Toyota and Sony in trading volume, spotlighting the global reach of corporate interest in bitcoin.
