Bitcoin is up early Thursday, pushing towards $111,713 on a wave of bullishness. A 1.82% 24-hour gain and $62 billion in volume indicate deepening confidence in digital assets, particularly as high-profile figures like the Trump family double down on crypto investments.
Now, just below $111,000, Bitcoin’s recent momentum is drawing attention from both institutional and retail players.
One of the significant catalysts? A new $4 million investment in Thumzup Media by Donald Trump Jr. demonstrates that the Trump camp remains interested in expanding its crypto exposure. Meanwhile, corporate Bitcoin holdings are at all-time highs, indicating a shift in long-term strategy among public companies.
Trump Family’s Growing Crypto Footprint
Donald Trump Jr’s investment in Thumzup Media, a corporate Bitcoin holder, is a big deal for the family’s growing crypto portfolio. Thumzup, which started accumulating BTC in January 2025, is now diversifying into altcoins, including Ethereum, Solana, Dogecoin, and XRP.
This is in addition to earlier Trump-backed initiatives, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, as well as a multi-coin index product launched through Trump Media. While Thumzup’s balanced asset approach may not have an immediate impact on Bitcoin prices, the bigger picture is clear: the Trump family is committed to crypto in the long term.

Corporate Bitcoin Holdings Hit New Highs
While individual headlines get the attention, the real structural change is coming from the boardroom. Corporate Bitcoin holdings surged 23% in Q2 2025, with 159,107 BTC added, valued at $17.6 billion. That brings total institutional holdings to 847,000 BTC or 4% of Bitcoin’s supply.
The number of public companies holding BTC also increased significantly. 46 new firms were added to the list, bringing the total to 125, a 58% quarterly gain. Notable names include:

Bitcoin Bullish Breakout Above $111K
From a technical standpoint, Bitcoin’s breakout from the symmetrical triangle is confirmed. The price has broken above the descending resistance and reclaimed the 50-SMA on the 2-hour chart at $109,200, accompanied by increased volume.
