Public companies’ net Bitcoin buying slowed sharply last week even as a wider group of listed crypto treasury companies disclosed new purchases, balance-sheet shifts and earnings updates across multiple tokens. SoSoValue data showed global listed companies excluding miners recorded total net Bitcoin purchases of $5.32 million in the week through 8 a.m. Eastern Time on Aug. 17, 2026, down 90.34% from the previous week. Strategy did not buy or sell Bitcoin during the period, but spent $132 million to repurchase 1,388,720 shares of its STRC preferred stock. Capital B bought 5 Bitcoin at $64,395.60 each to bring holdings to 3,145, while Strive said it spent $5 million to buy 79 Bitcoin at $63,231 each, taking its total to about 20,246. Total Bitcoin held by tracked listed companies excluding miners rose 0.007% week over week to 1,139,641 Bitcoin, worth about $72.42 billion, or 5.7% of Bitcoin’s circulating market capitalization. Separate disclosures underscored how listed firms are broadening crypto treasury strategies beyond simple Bitcoin accumulation. Empery Digital sold 235 Bitcoin to repay another $10 million of debt and now holds 1,279 Bitcoin. Zhibao Technology said it completed a private placement financed with 2,380 Bitcoin from non-U.S. investors and plans to hold the assets under a Bitcoin treasury strategy while monetizing part of them for business expansion. K33 research head Vetle Lunde said Norway’s sovereign wealth fund had indirect Bitcoin exposure of 11,549 Bitcoin at the end of the first half of 2026 through holdings in Strategy, Metaplanet, MARA, Coinbase, Block and Tesla, a record high worth about $725 million. The corporate treasury trend is also extending into Ethereum and other tokens. Bitmine Immersion Technologies said it added 9,926 ETH last week, bringing holdings to 5,815,164 ETH and 210 BTC, and has staked 5,067,309 ETH. SharpLink said it would stake $200 million of ETH through Lido (liquid staking protocol) and reported holding about 863,000 ETH worth $1.46 billion, while posting a second-quarter net loss of $394 million. Forward Industries said fair-value markdowns on its Solana holdings drove a fiscal third-quarter net loss of $69 million. Cypherpunk Technologies reported a second-quarter net profit of $39.39 million as ZEC prices rose. Greenlane Holdings said its BERA treasury had fallen 76.6% from cost to about $16.4 million, and StablecoinX disclosed holding about 3 billion ENA, roughly 20% of total supply, valued at $218.4 million at June 30 prices. The updates show listed companies are increasingly using equity issuance, private placements, preferred stock, staking (locking tokens to earn rewards) and token-backed treasury models to gain crypto exposure, while also taking on mark-to-market volatility, impairment charges and counterparty risk.
