Overall, the largest corporate holder of digital gold has accumulated 687,410 BTC at an average cost of ~$75,353 per coin. The latest purchase was made at ~$91,519.

According to Strategy’s report, the company raised nearly $1.25 billion last week through an open market stock sale program. The entire sum was spent on acquiring the leading cryptocurrency, including fees and other expenses.

On Monday, January 12, Bitcoin prices tested the $92,000 level following statements by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell about pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump.

At the current rate, Strategy’s BTC reserve is valued at ~$63.2 billion, with the firm’s market capitalization to its crypto treasury value (mNAV) ratio standing at 0.81.

At the end of 2025, Strategy CEO Phong Le considered selling part of the digital assets if the metric fell below one.

In late July, Michael Saylor’s company purchased 21,021 BTC, costing nearly $2.5 billion at the time. Strategy then significantly slowed its Bitcoin accumulation, only returning to volumes around $1 billion per week in December.

BitMine in the Race for Second Place

Last week, BitMine added 24,266 ETH to its crypto reserve, accumulating a total of 4,167,768 ETH at an average price of $3,119.

The firm holds 3.45% of the total Ethereum supply, with a stated goal of reaching 5%.

At the time of writing, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization is trading at $3,100. BitMine did not disclose the price of its latest purchase, but at current rates, it amounts to about $75.4 million, with the total value of its ETH treasury approximately $13 billion.

The company claims its assets total ~$14 billion, including 193 BTC ($17.5 million), a stake in WLD Eightco ($23 million), and fiat funds ($988 million).

BitMine’s crypto treasury value ranks second only to Strategy, despite beginning its accumulation only last year.

Meanwhile, BitMine has already staked nearly 1.2 million ETH to earn additional income. The company collaborates with three service providers as it prepares to launch its own commercial network, MAVAN (Made in America VAlidator Network).

Company Chairman Tom Lee confirmed calculations indicating that BitMine’s fully staked cryptocurrency would generate about $354 million in annual revenue, based on the current rate of 2.81%.

Back in October, Lee stated about a burst bubble in the corporate crypto treasury segment. Experts predicted a major crisis for companies with digital assets on their balance sheets in 2026.
