U.S. entities now hold significantly more Bitcoin than their offshore counterparts, with reserves exceeding offshore holdings by 65%, according to data from CryptoQuant. As of January 9, the ratio of U.S. to offshore Bitcoin ownership was 1.65, compared to 1.24 in September 2024. This surge in U.S. dominance coincides with a notable increase in Bitcoin’s price, which surpassed the $100,000 mark in January 2025.
MicroStrategy remains the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, recently adding 1,070 BTC to its reserves at an average price of $94,004 per Bitcoin, bringing their total to 447,470 BTC. Additionally, U.S.-listed Bitcoin ETFs, introduced in January 2024, have attracted $106.82 billion in inflows, signifying robust institutional interest.
Despite reaching a record price, Bitcoin has experienced a correction, dropping to $93,000 after peaking at $108,135. This correction, viewed by analysts as a healthy market adjustment, follows $521 million in crypto liquidations over the past 24 hours, largely from long positions. The sell-off has been driven by unexpected U.S. labor market strength, which has raised concerns about tighter Fed monetary policy in 2025.
