Four public companies acquired a combined 612 Bitcoin worth approximately $47.5 million between May 18 and 24, 2026, despite pauses from other major institutional buyers. According to a weekly market report, Strategy Bitcoin paused its purchases and BitMine added no Ethereum during that period. The four accumulating firms held a collective 21,525 BTC by month’s end, valued at around $1.67 billion.
The corporate crypto treasury landscape showed mixed activity last week. While Strategy Bitcoin did not purchase any BTC and BitMine added no ETH, four other public companies continued their accumulation.
The Smarter Web Company PLC, DDC Enterprise Limited, Hyperscale Data, and Strive collectively bought 612 BTC for about $47.5 million. This activity underscores ongoing institutional interest even as key players temporarily step back.
The report stated stablecoin liquidity fell by $687 million and trading volumes declined. It noted, “Public companies still added 612 BTC ($47.5M), while Strategy and Bitmine paused buying.”
By the end of May, the four companies held a combined 21,525 BTC worth roughly $1.67 billion. This growing corporate exposure brings diversification benefits alongside compliance and custody challenges.
The data indicates steady corporate Bitcoin adoption persists. Institutional conviction in the asset class remains evident despite evolving market conditions.
