What happened.
Strategy ended a two-week purchasing pause with a reported purchase of 950 BTC for about $76 million. It also reported a $174 million STRC repurchase, taking its bitcoin holdings to about 846,000 BTC. The supplied record puts that holding at about 4% of the 21 million BTC cap and within 0.2% of its June record.
Strive separately reported adding 1,355 BTC. Bitmine reported buying 27,562 ETH, valued in the supplied record at roughly $74 million to $75 million, and passing 4.9% of ether supply.
Why it matters.
The disclosures place fresh treasury purchases across both bitcoin and ether in the same reporting window. Strategy’s return following a pause, alongside Strive’s stated year-end second-place treasury goal and Bitmine’s disclosed 5% ether-supply target, makes subsequent purchase cadence the central item to track.
These are reported transactions and disclosed intentions, not evidence that the pace will persist. A renewed run of purchases, another pause, or updates to the stated targets would provide the next meaningful receipt.
Watch the next disclosed purchases from Strategy, Strive and Bitmine, and whether Strategy’s pause repeats or the stated treasury targets continue to guide buying.
