Monthly digital asset treasury inflows were dominated by Bitcoin, except for August and September 2025, according to data from DeFiLlama. Monthly inflows into digital asset treasury (DAT) companies have slowed to about $555 million, the lowest levels since October 2024, the month before the 2024 US election pump, according to data from DeFiLlama.

Digital asset treasury companies have faced a challenging business environment over the last year, which was made worse by the crypto market crash in October that kicked off a multi-month bear market and rolled back crypto prices to pre-election levels.
