A Quiet Revolution Is Happening on Balance Sheets

A Quiet Revolution Is Happening on Balance Sheets

For decades, corporate treasuries followed the same playbook: hold cash, bonds, maybe a bit of equities, and hope to “preserve value” in a world of permanent currency debasement.

But something has changed.

A new corporate model is emerging — Bitcoin Treasury Companies — and it’s growing faster than any traditional treasury strategy in modern financial history.

What Is a Bitcoin Treasury Company?

Simple: a company that raises capital (via equity or debt) and converts it into Bitcoin as a primary reserve asset.
Some are public, others are private. Some operate a traditional business alongside BTC reserves, others — like Standard 21 — are fully aligned with the Bitcoin Standard.

They don’t speculate on altcoins. They don’t hedge in fiat. They accumulate scarcity and convert cash into incorruptible reserves.

The Numbers Speak:

In 2020, there was just one major corporate Bitcoin holder.
In 2025, there are over 140 public and private Bitcoin Treasury Companies, holding collectively more than 1.2 million BTC — over 5% of total Bitcoin supply.
And this trend is accelerating.

Why Investors Pay a Premium

Many of these companies trade at a premium — their market cap exceeds the fiat value of their BTC reserves (this is known as mNAV).
Why?

Because the market values:

  • Transparent custody

  • Corporate alignment with scarcity

  • Strategic BTC accumulation

  • Long-term positioning away from fiat erosion


They don’t just own Bitcoin — they offer structured, regulated exposure to it.

The Rise of a New Asset Class. Bitcoin Treasury Companies are becoming:


  • Vaults of digital scarcity

  • Access points for regulated investors

  • Capital-preservation vehicles for family offices and funds


They represent a new asset class: equity instruments tied to the soundest money ever created.
Standard 21: Built for This Moment

At Standard 21, we didn’t pivot into Bitcoin. We were born on Bitcoin. We’re building a corporate model that rejects fiat decay entirely — focusing solely on Bitcoin accumulation, transparency, and long-term shareholder alignment.


Bitcoin Treasury Companies are not a trend. They are the future of corporate capital structure.
And Standard 21 is built to lead this shift.
