Altcoins Attract $2B as Bitcoin Dominance Slides to 61%
- BNB, SOL, and HYPE dominate recent institutional altcoin inflows.
- Bitcoin dominance declines to 61% amid corporate diversification.
- Public firms adopt blockchain-native treasuries beyond BTC holdings.
Institutional interest in altcoins is rising amid a notable dip in Bitcoin dominance. Over the past 60 days, more than $2 billion has flowed into major altcoins, indicating a broader diversification trend. Bitcoin’s market dominance has declined from 63% to 61%, despite holding its long-term uptrend. As treasury moves continue, the crypto landscape may be entering a new phase led by altcoins.
Institutions Diversify Crypto Treasuries Beyond Bitcoin
CryptoBusy’s recent chart shows Bitcoin still trading within a 1,084-day ascending channel, but its dominance has weakened. This shift appears tied to increasing altcoin allocations from institutional players.
According to on-chain data, $700 million moved into Binance Coin (BNB), $500 million into Solana (SOL), and $888 million into HYPE an unexpected leader in inflows. Other notable allocations include $40 million in Dogecoin (DOGE), along with active positions in Ethereum (ETH), XRP, SUI, and TAO. Analysts suggest this momentum reflects a broader shift in capital strategies among major firms.
Public Companies Expand Altcoin Holdings at Scale
NASDAQ-listed companies are accelerating altcoin adoption in their treasury frameworks. Windtree Therapeutics has announced plans to purchase up to $700 million in BNB. Upexi secured a $500 million equity line to expand its SOL holdings and staking yields. Defi Dev Corp followed suit, acquiring $2.7 million worth of SOL.
Meanwhile, VivoPower International transitioned to an XRP-dominant treasury model. Sonnet Bio (HSI) declared an $888 million HYPE acquisition the largest known corporate investment in a non-Bitcoin token.
Synaptogenix rebranded to support its $10 million TAO treasury shift. Bit Origin added over $40 million in DOGE, while Mill City Ventures raised $450 million to build a SUI-focused treasury. Sharplink is actively positioning in ETH, and Strategy remains engaged with Bitcoin. Tron Inc. has introduced a blockchain-native treasury framework under its public company model.
What’s Next in the Altcoin Treasury Race?
As capital continues to flow into altcoins, analysts expect more public companies to follow. The decline in Bitcoin dominance could signal the start of a broader altcoin rotation, driven by yield opportunities and blockchain-specific use cases.
With over $2 billion already deployed and major names signaling confidence, the next 60 days could reveal which altcoin enters institutional portfolios next. Industry watchers remain focused on treasury filings and on-chain signals to track the evolving landscape.
