Corporate cryptocurrency reserves are emerging as a force within public companies bridging traditional finance and digital assets, signaling growing institutional investor interest in crypto assets.

A report released Thursday by Galaxy Research shows that corporate cryptocurrency reserve firms, including Strategy, Metaplanet, and SharpLink, have cumulatively held approximately $100 billion worth of digital assets.

Bitcoin (BTC) reserve firms dominate, holding over 791,662 BTC on their books, valued at approximately $93 billion and representing 3.98% of the circulating supply. Ether (ETH) reserve firms hold 1.3 million ETH tokens, valued at over $4 billion and representing 1.09% of the ETH supply, the report noted.

Corporate buyers are becoming a key source of ether liquidity, alongside US spot ETH exchange-traded funds, which recently set a record for 19 consecutive days of net inflows.

Standard Chartered said in a research note released on Tuesday that more corporate buying and continued ETF inflows could help Ethereum break through the psychological level of $4,000, which is also the bank's year-end price target.
