What company is this? I assume you aren't referring to the defunct exchange.
No.
They are talking about this:
BTCetc - Bitcoin Exchange Traded Crypto - BTCE

Quote
ETC Group has recently launched the first physically backed Bitcoin
ETC listed on Deutsche Börse /Xetra, Europe’s largest ETF exchange
and one of the world’s top 10 stock exchanges. BTCE is distributed in
cooperation with HANetf and will be passported across several
European countries.

BTCetc – Bitcoin Exchange Traded Crypto (primary ticker: BTCE) allows investors to track the price
of Bitcoin, just like a share of a company on a stock exchange. BTCE is fully backed by physical Bitcoin,
held in cold storage with a regulated custodian and security over the collateral account is held by a trustee
for additional investor protection.

Some say that Grayscale doesn't own any Bitcoin but that is for debate because they are Investment Trust, and their clients are buyers who own bitcoins.

If Grayscale is included, then we might as well include the holdings of all exchanges and other custodial platforms. Coinbase, Bitfinex, Bitmex, etc. That would be pointless.

The interesting metric is not how many coins a company has in custody (including those of their clients) but rather how invested they are.

How much do the Winklevii twins hold?
Nobody can be exactly sure, but from some reports they could have up to 1% of the circulating Bitcoins, and that would be around 180,517 bitcoin now.
They started buying when Bitcoin was only $8 so you can imagine how much they can have Wink
I should also mention RogerVer and rumors that he has more than 300,000 BTC unless he sold some to buy his Bcash trash. Smiley

13 companies are holding around 2.85% of the total supply of Bitcoin.
Yikes!  That might sound like a positive thing for bitcoin, but it kind of scares me.  Just imagine if just a couple of those companies needed to dump their bitcoin holdings onto the market all at once--I would hope that they'd work out private deals instead of using exchanges, but who knows?

Aside from the fear of bitcoin being held by an increasingly large number of companies, I'm amazed that this is actually happening and I certainly would not have predicted corporations would start buying up bitcoin to hold as cash reserves/investment/whatever. 

So 2.85% held by these companies.  How much do the Winklevii twins hold?  And I can't even remember how much is in Satoshi's wallet, percentage-wise.  Makes me wonder how many individual bitcoin holders there really are out there.

It's not really much of a debate. Grayscale has cryptocurrencies under its AUM ~ Assets Under Management, this refers to the sum of an asset which a company manages on behalf of her clients, so Grayscale is sort of like a channel through which investors access cryptocurrencies.

Assets in holding would refer to total assets which the company invested in, using company's funds and this would be reflected in their balance sheets. So microstrategy is risking about $425 million in Bitcoin, while Grayscale is not really risking anything, so we can not classify those assets in their AUM as holdings of the company.

We heard about Square investing in Bitcoin and I am sure many of you know about Grayscale but let's look at other publicly traded companies who purchased Bitcoin.
Total value for all of them is over $6 billion or around 600,000 BTC, but I am sure there are many more who not so famous or they purchased it with some 3rd party firms.
13 companies are holding around 2.85% of the total supply of Bitcoin.
Let's compare all of them:

449,596 Grayscale
  69,730 CoinShares
  38,250 MicroStrategy
  16,551 Galaxy digital
    8,195 3iQ
    5,215 BTCe
    4,709 Square
    2,954 HUT8
    1,239 Voyager
    1,053 Riot
       215 digital
       204 cypher punk holdings
       126 argo
