Fidelity Digital Assets’ latest outlook highlights two key figures: publicly listed companies holding at least 1,000 BTC increased from 22 to 49 within a year; meanwhile, bitcoin miners’ daily average revenue rose from $26,300 to $40.2 million.
In other words, on one side, more companies are moving bitcoin onto their balance sheets and locking it up as long-term capital; on the other, miners’ “security budget” is not only holding steady but rising, with real income answering doubts that the halving would weaken network security—not by preaching belief in words.
However, this also creates a new contrast: compute power incentives currently appear more than sufficient, but the distribution of holdings is gradually skewing toward a small number of major players. In the short term, this serves as a validation of security and the entry of “legitimate” participants. In the long run, whether transaction fees can continue to support miners’ revenue, and whether institutions will further consolidate their influence, are the variables that truly need to be watched behind these numbers.
