A quiet but steady shift is happening in corporate finance. More public companies are now holding XRP in their balance sheets, joining Bitcoin and Ethereum as part of their long-term reserves. The move marks a growing interest in using XRP due to its speed, low costs, and ability to transfer money across borders almost instantly. With the SEC waiver, Ripple can now bypass legal hurdles that once limited its fundraising, opening doors to growth and expansion.
Here’s Bill Morgan’s list of top public companies holding XRP
Bill Morgan Flags New Filings
Crypto lawyer Bill Morgan has been tracking this trend through SEC filings. He recently pointed out that Quantum Biopharma Ltd, which already held Bitcoin, Dogecoin, and Solana, has now added XRP and Ethereum.
Another example is Worksport Ltd, which holds both Bitcoin and XRP. This firm holds both Bitcoin and XRP, and recently doubled its Bitcoin stash. It launched a corporate cryptocurrency strategy back in December 2024 as a hedge against inflation and currency devaluation. Interestingly, it’s already up 15% on its XRP holdings.
Morgan says he has spotted four such companies in just one week, on top of many others revealed over the past few months. For him, it’s a sign that XRP’s corporate adoption is no longer a one-off experiment but part of a broader pattern.
Ripple’s Giant XRP Pile
Ripple Labs isn’t a public company, but it controls a massive 40.7 billion XRP, about 41% of the total supply. If Ripple officially treated this as a treasury reserve, like MicroStrategy does with Bitcoin, it could tighten supply and potentially send prices higher. It would also signal to institutions that XRP is worth holding as a strategic asset.
XRP Over Bitcoin
The end of the long Ripple vs. SEC lawsuit has cleared a major roadblock. Without the legal uncertainty, it’s easier for top public companies holding XRP to add XRP to their balance sheets. Some see it as a way to diversify away from Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Moreover, corporate investments in altcoins other than Ethereum have jumped from $200 million in early 2025 to over $11 billion by July. XRP has been one of the main beneficiaries. Its fast settlement, low transaction costs, and global network through RippleNet make it a strong candidate for cross-border payments and liquidity management.
Earning on Corporate XRP
Even though the XRP Ledger doesn’t have native staking, companies can still put their holdings to work. Options include institutional lending programs, providing liquidity on exchanges, and using platforms like Flare, which allow XRP to be wrapped for smart contract use. These tools turn XRP from a passive reserve into an active, income-generating asset.
