Investors shift trading focus to Bitcoin treasuries

Public companies continued to expand digital-asset treasuries through equity issuance and private financing, led by Strategy’s latest bitcoin purchases and new accumulation programs at Strive, Capital B, Boyaa Interactive and Hyperliquid Strategies. The disclosures show that listed companies are increasingly using their balance sheets and capital-markets access to build large crypto positions, although the strategy also exposes shareholders to asset-price swings and potential dilution.

Strategy, formerly MicroStrategy, reported in a recent Form 8-K that it raised net proceeds of $602.8 million through sales of MSTR common stock. The company used $369.7 million of that sum to buy 4,603 BTC at an average price of roughly $80,318 per coin.

As of Aug. 30, Strategy said it held 845,050 BTC acquired for about $63.73 billion, or an average cost of approximately $75,412 per bitcoin. The company has remained the largest corporate bitcoin holder by a substantial margin, using repeated share sales and preferred-stock offerings to fund purchases.

Its fundraising total for the year had reached about $20.9 billion, according to the figures cited in the material, putting it among the largest U.S. issuers of stock and equity-linked securities. The scale of those programs places Strategy’s treasury policy closer to a permanent corporate-finance model than a one-off allocation to bitcoin.

Treasury strategies bring dilution risk into focus

The same mechanism that gives companies a route to purchase crypto without immediately drawing down operating cash can dilute existing shareholders. Hyperliquid Strategies made that trade-off especially explicit after lifting the maximum size of its equity financing arrangement with Chardan Capital Markets from $1 billion to $2.5 billion.

Under the agreement, Chardan can purchase and resell newly issued common shares in stages, subject to market-price and trading-volume conditions. Hyperliquid Strategies said it had raised $647 million through the facility and accumulated about 29.30 million HYPE tokens for its treasury.

The company stressed that the $2.5 billion figure is the maximum available capacity, rather than cash already raised. Its disclosure also acknowledged that additional share issuance could dilute holders of existing common stock. That caveat has become increasingly relevant as crypto treasury companies compete for capital: a rising token price can support issuance, while a sharp reversal can leave shareholders with exposure to both dilution and the underlying asset.

Strive also expanded its bitcoin treasury, reporting holdings of 23,156 BTC valued at roughly $1.8 billion at the prices cited in the material. The company’s reported purchases included 1,800 BTC acquired between Aug. 24 and Aug. 28 at an average price of $79,431, for approximately $143 million including fees.

The purchase followed an earlier August acquisition of 1,110 BTC for about $81.5 million and a smaller purchase of 79 BTC. Strive’s common-share count increased from roughly 79.90 million to 83.50 million during the period, while its SATA preferred-share program also expanded. The company expected the two programs to raise around $154.6 million, with about $143 million directed toward bitcoin purchases.

Bitcoin concentration grows outside the United States

The trend is spreading across listed companies in Europe and Asia, though the positions remain small beside Strategy’s holdings.

Paris-listed Capital B disclosed a €7.6 million investment from Adam Back, chief executive of Blockstream and an early bitcoin developer. The company said it intends to use the proceeds to buy as many as 376 BTC. Capital B reported holding 3,145 BTC before the planned acquisition; reaching its target would lift the total to 3,521 BTC.

Hong Kong-listed Boyaa Interactive added 115 BTC, taking its reported holdings to 4,316 BTC. BitcoinTreasuries.NET ranked the company 22nd among tracked corporate bitcoin holders following the purchase.

Japan’s Remixpoint took a different route, selling all of its altcoin holdings on Sept. 1 and retaining bitcoin as its only crypto asset. The company said it sold about 901.45 ETH, 13,920 SOL, 1.1912 million XRP and 2.8023 million DOGE, generating approximately $5.54 million in proceeds and a profit of about $743,300.

Following the sales, Remixpoint reported holding roughly 1,506 BTC. It also disclosed about $188,100 in staking income from ether and Solana through the end of August. The move narrows its balance-sheet exposure to a single asset with deeper liquidity and a longer record of corporate adoption, while giving up the staking income available from proof-of-stake networks.

Index rules could shape the next phase

MSCI is due to conclude a consultation on Sept. 30 concerning digital-asset financial reserve companies. The review has drawn attention because any revised index eligibility rules could affect companies whose valuations and financing strategies are increasingly tied to crypto holdings rather than traditional operating businesses.

Index inclusion can influence demand from funds designed to track benchmarks, while exclusion can restrict access to that capital. For treasury-focused companies, the outcome may help determine whether their shares are treated primarily as operating-company equities or as vehicles for leveraged exposure to digital assets.

The rush into crypto reserves has also extended beyond bitcoin. CEA Industries reported holding 515,544 BNB, valued at more than $380 million in its FY2026 report for the period ending April 30. The disclosure indicated that the company had made no further reported BNB purchases for at least several months.

On the ether side, blockchain-monitoring platform Onchain Lens reported that BitMine transferred 25,000 ETH, valued at about $61.51 million at the time, to a new wallet on Sept. 5. The transfer showed continued movement of sizeable corporate crypto positions even where no new purchase was disclosed.

These treasury strategies give listed companies a way to offer traders liquid equity exposure to crypto assets, but their performance will depend on more than token prices. Funding costs, share issuance, index treatment and the ability to sustain operating businesses will increasingly determine whether balance-sheet accumulation translates into durable shareholder value.
