Bitcoin Dominates Crypto Portfolios in 2025

In 2025, Bitcoin has firmly cemented itself as the heavyweight of crypto portfolios, claiming nearly one-third of total allocations. A surge in institutional adoption and the roaring success of spot exchange-traded funds have transformed Bitcoin from a speculative asset into a core holding for both retail and professional investors.

Bitcoin’s Growing Share in Portfolios

According to a new report from Bybit, Bitcoin now accounts for just over thirty percent of total crypto assets held by investors. That’s a big jump from the twenty-five percent recorded in late 2024.

This growing share underscores Bitcoin’s continued dominance, especially as other assets like Ethereum have seen their portfolio ratios drop significantly.

Institutional Inflows and ETF Momentum

Much of this shift is thanks to massive inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs. These investment vehicles provide regulated exposure, making Bitcoin more accessible to pension funds, hedge funds, and even corporations.

Since the start of the year, the number of companies holding Bitcoin on their balance sheets has doubled, with hundreds of firms now including it as part of their treasury strategy.

What It Means for the Market

Experts predict that if this trend continues, Bitcoin could rival the value of traditional safe-haven assets like gold. One projection even puts Bitcoin’s value north of one point eight million within the next decade.

For retail investors, however, the enthusiasm has shifted slightly. While institutions have upped their Bitcoin stakes, smaller investors are increasingly turning to alternative coins like XRP, especially those believed to be next in line for ETF approval.
