Publicly traded treasury companies continued to accumulate major digital assets during the week of October 5, 2026, reinforcing institutional demand even as Bitcoin, Ethereum and altcoins traded sideways.
Strategy, the world’s largest publicly traded Bitcoin holder, purchased an additional 334 BTC, lifting its total holdings to 848,000 BTC. The company also repurchased $176 million worth of STRC preferred shares. Founder Michael Saylor said Strategy holds $5.7 billion in dollar-denominated assets, enough to cover preferred dividends and interest payments for about 3.6 years.
Strive bought 2,000 BTC for $169 million, bringing its total to 29,462 BTC at an average purchase price of $84,422 per coin. CEO Matt Cole said 61.5% of the funds came from SATA, while $56.7 million was raised through stock options.
Ethereum accumulation also continued. Bitmine, described as the world’s largest Ethereum holder, added 15,112 ETH, increasing its total to 6,016,414 ETH, about 4.9% of circulating ETH supply. Bitmine’s total assets reached $17.4 billion, including 6 million ETH, 214 BTC, $643 million in cash and marketable securities, $180 million in Beast Industries shares and $117 million in Eightco Holdings shares. Chairman Tom Lee said, 'We believe cryptocurrencies have entered what we perceive as a bull market cycle.'
Nasdaq-listed DeFi Development Corp. purchased an additional 26,203 SOL, bringing its total to 2.564 million SOL. The company also generates additional SOL and fee revenue by staking its holdings and operating its own validator.
The coordinated treasury buying highlights continued institutional conviction across Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana despite choppy market conditions.
