Active Accumulation Continues for Bitcoin and Ethereum Buyers
Strive accelerated its Bitcoin accumulation this week, according to Cointelegraph, purchasing 1,110 BTC for approximately $81.5 million at an average price of $73,409 per coin. The acquisition pushed Strive's total holdings to 21,356 Bitcoin, and the market responded positively, with the company's Nasdaq-traded shares climbing more than 11% on the announcement.
Meanwhile, Bitmine has maintained its focus on Ethereum accumulation, deploying $81 million in ETH purchases in what CoinDesk reported as the firm's largest weekly haul since early July. According to Decrypt, Bitmine remains approximately 187,000 Ethereum short of its stated target of acquiring 5% of Ethereum's total supply, suggesting the buying spree may continue as the firm closes the gap.
Strategy Shifts Gears, Pausing Bitcoin Purchases After Major Capital Raise
Breaking from the aggressive accumulation trend, Strategy announced a pause on new Bitcoin purchases following a significant $2 billion capital raise from MSTR stock sales, according to Cointelegraph. The firm established a $1.59 billion cash pool but held its Bitcoin holdings steady at 840,447 BTC, signaling a more cautious near-term approach despite maintaining one of the largest corporate Bitcoin treasuries.
The divergent strategies reflect different market outlooks among treasury firms. While Bitmine's leadership, including Tom Lee, cited Ethereum's 30% weekly rally as a potential signal of larger moves ahead, Strategy's capital raise and accumulation pause suggest management is prioritizing financial flexibility in an environment where digital asset volatility remains elevated.
