The buying activity comes as Bitcoin began a critical week of economic data releases by falling below $74,000 before recovering above that level. While market conditions remained volatile, several publicly traded companies maintained their accumulation strategies, adding substantial cryptocurrency positions to their balance sheets.
Strategy Adds 1,036 Bitcoin as Holdings Reach 850,364 BTC
Strategy, the world's largest publicly traded Bitcoin holder, announced another acquisition through founder Michael Saylor. The company purchased 1,036 BTC, bringing its total Bitcoin holdings to 850,364 BTC.
Alongside the Bitcoin acquisition, Strategy repurchased $188 million worth of its STRC preferred shares. Saylor also highlighted the company's financial reserves, reporting that Strategy holds $4.9 billion in assets.
According to Saylor, Strategy's dollar-denominated assets are sufficient to cover its current preferred stock dividends and interest payments for approximately 3.4 years.
Strive also continued expanding its Bitcoin position. CEO Matt Cole announced on X that the company acquired another 29 BTC last week at an average purchase price of $75,721.
The latest transaction increased Strive's total Bitcoin holdings to 43,153 BTC, reflecting the company's continued commitment to accumulating the leading cryptocurrency.
Bitmine Ethereum Holdings Surpass 6 Million ETH
Institutional accumulation also continued in the Ethereum market. Bitmine, identified in the announcement as the world's largest Ethereum holder, purchased an additional 9,587 ETH last week, increasing its total holdings to 6,070,092 ETH.
The company's Ethereum position represents approximately 4.97% of the cryptocurrency's total circulating supply, according to its announcement.
Bitmine reported that its overall assets reached $14.3 billion, including cryptocurrency holdings, cash, marketable securities, and strategic investments. Its portfolio consists of approximately 6.07 million ETH, 216 BTC, $475 million in cash and marketable securities, $180 million worth of Beast Industries shares, and $75 million worth of Eightco Holdings shares.
Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee also discussed Ethereum's potential role in the evolving digital asset market, referencing comments attributed to Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin at Devcon 8 in Mumbai.
"Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin said at Devcon 8 in Mumbai, 'I've finally made my decision, $ETH is a store of value, $ETH is money.' In my view, this statement by the Ethereum founder represents a seismic shift, clarifying how $ETH will gain value in this upcoming supercycle of tokenization and AI," Lee said.
Lee further distinguished Ethereum from tokens built around cash-flow models, describing ETH as reliable collateral and highlighting Ethereum's Layer 1 network as an option favored by financial institutions moving assets onto blockchain infrastructure.
DeFi Development Corp. Expands Solana Treasury to 2.6 Million SOL
Solana also featured in the latest institutional accumulation activity. Nasdaq-listed DeFi Development Corp. announced that it acquired another 8,881 SOL last week, bringing its total Solana holdings to approximately 2.6 million SOL.
The company also reported generating additional SOL and commission revenue by deploying its holdings through staking activities and operating its own validator.
DeFi Development Corp. CEO Joseph Onorati said the company's approach remains focused on increasing its Solana reserves while improving the value of its holdings relative to its outstanding shares.
"Our strategy remains consistent: It's about accumulating $SOL, multiplying our assets, and increasing the value of $SOL per share," Onorati said.
The latest announcements show that several publicly traded companies continued building cryptocurrency positions across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana during a period of market weakness. Their strategies range from direct asset accumulation to staking and maintaining broader digital asset treasury portfolios.
