Bitcoin treasury firms remain the most bullish players on the asset in 2026. So far, businesses have bought the largest stash of 193K Bitcoin, nearly 20x more than overall purchases made by nation-states over the same period.

The U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs (exchange-traded funds) and hedge funds had a small outflow of 594 BTC, while individuals dumped a whopping 93K BTC.

Out of the massive appetite seen amongst businesses, Strategy accounted for over 91% of 2026 BTC purchases, or about 175K BTC. Analysts hailed the buying spree, given that Bitcoin has been stuck in a winter market for most of 2026.

For Phong Le, Strategy CEO, however, the trend was positive and cemented their Bitcoin bet.

The trend towards corporate, institution, bank, and nation-state adoption of Bitcoin is encouraging and makes us even more bullish on Bitcoin.

Strategy and Strive both hauled in 197K BTC. Other conventional businesses also bought over 20K BTC in 2026. In fact, even Robinhood joined the trend with a $25 million Bitcoin purchase this week.

Other Bitcoin treasury firms acquired 8K BTC, but after adjusting for total business holdings, the stash fell to 193K BTC because miners offloaded 33K BTC as some pursue an AI pivot.

Why Strategy is betting on Bitcoin’s broader adoption

Strategy’s initial Bitcoin bet was to offer amplified exposure to clients via its stock MSTR. The stock would offer several multiples of gains and losses relative to Bitcoin swings.

However, with preferred stocks, the firm doubled down on the ‘digital credit’ model backed by its Bitcoin holdings.

Recently, the firm has been closely tracking a composite Bitcoin adoption index across nations, firms, and associated products tied to the asset. Worth noting that the firm initially floated the idea of becoming the first Bitcoin bank to offer more digital credit products beyond Stretch [STRC].

Currently, the 12% yield paid to STRC and other preferred stocks is generated by diluting MSTR shareholders. In fact, some have criticized the model as a ‘Ponzi scheme’ because the yield is not coming directly from its vast BTC holdings.

It remains to be seen how Strategy will scale its digital credit pipeline.

That said, despite Bitcoin treasury firms leading the demand front by $15 billion in 2026, this was still low relative to 2025.

However, assuming this is an early bull market like in 2023, the current pace of inflows from Bitcoin treasuries was relatively higher and strong.

Strategy has a cost basis of about $75K, while the U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETF has an average cost basis of $82K. As such, these levels could act as crucial support if the ongoing Bitcoin pullback deepens.

Final Summary

Strategy bought 175K BTC of the 193K BTC (91%) acquired by businesses in 2026
Strategy’s CEO said the institutional and state adoption trend has made them even more bullish on Bitcoin

After the non-farm payroll report, traders' bets on a December rate hike surged to as high as 85%. Wall Street analysts believe the report provides room for further rate hikes, bringing renewed pressure for a hike at a time when post-election market concerns over slowing AI development might dampen expectations. Some remain cautious about a December hike, as stock market volatility and AI investment prospects could restrain the Federal Reserve. "New Fed News Agency" notes the report has not shaken the Fed's outlook on economic growth and inflation, but whether AI asset sell-offs change financial conditions could become a new variable for the December decision. Attention should be paid to whether Waller values lagging employment data or forward-looking market signals.

U.S. non-farm payrolls surge by 165,000 in October, far exceeding expectations! Unemployment rate unexpectedly drops to 4.1%, December rate hike expectations intensify

The valuation range discussed by potential investors has been lowered from the previous high of $2 trillion to between $1.2 trillion and $1.3 trillion, and some strategists have even suggested going below $1 trillion to ensure safety. In the face of significant market volatility and financial concerns such as quarterly losses, Anthropic is facing tough decisions, including a discounted valuation, reducing the size of the offering, or postponing the listing.
