Corporate Bitcoin buy orders abruptly stop: Week-over-week net buying collapses 99.93%, is market control shifting?

Gate News message: in late March 2026, at the corporate level, Bitcoin allocations cooled off noticeably. According to SoSoValue data, last week global listed companies added a net holding of only about $70,000, down 99.93% month-over-month, reaching one of the weakest levels since the institution began tracking. During the week, only the UK company BHODL made a small purchase of 1 Bitcoin; the rest of the mainstream firms took no action.

This shift is especially evident among industry leaders. Strategy, long regarded as a benchmark for corporate coin-hoarding, did not disclose any new holdings this week; Japanese company Metaplanet has also paused purchases for 11 straight weeks. Both had previously continuously driven inflows of corporate-level funds, but now they are monitoring the market in tandem—seen as an important signal that market sentiment has turned.

Although short-term buying demand has nearly ground to a halt, the overall size of corporate holdings remains at a high level. At present, non-mining listed companies collectively hold about 1,023,333 Bitcoins, or roughly 5.1% of circulating supply. However, compared with the prior week, this proportion has changed by almost nothing, indicating that incremental capital is extremely limited.

It is worth noting that some companies have not fully exited, but instead adjusted their strategy. For example, Swedish company H100 plans to expand its Bitcoin reserves through equity acquisitions, while the French firm Capital B raises funds in advance via financing and chooses to delay its entry point. This “reserve capital, wait for the window” approach reflects institutions’ cautious judgment about current prices and the macro environment.

From a market structure perspective, Bitcoin pricing power is changing. With spot ETF fund flows becoming a key variable, alongside a tightening macro environment, corporate treasury departments are no longer the main marginal buyers. Analysts believe that in a stage lacking clear trend signals, large institutions are more inclined to sit on the sidelines rather than aggressively add to positions.

At the current stage, Bitcoin’s direction depends more on fund flows and market sentiment than on large-scale corporate allocations. Corporate buy orders’ temporary retreat also suggests that near-term market volatility may intensify; the future direction will hinge on new changes in macro policy and liquidity conditions.
