Fact Check
The assessment is based on the strong and consistent evidence supporting both parts of the compound statement. First, the claim that 'Strategy' has increased its holdings of Bitcoin is well-supported. A primary source from the company's own website directly details its Bitcoin purchases, confirming an increase. This is corroborated by an industry research brief from OSL, which explicitly states that MicroStrategy (the company commonly referred to as 'Strategy' in this context) has increased its Bitcoin holdings. Other sources provide context on the company as a major Bitcoin investor and point to primary SEC filings where such purchases would be officially recorded.Second, the claim that 'Bitmine' has increased its holdings of Ethereum is overwhelmingly supported by multiple high-authority sources. A direct press release from Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) announces its ETH holdings have reached a new high of 4.243 million tokens. This implies a significant increase. This is further detailed by numerous credible financial and crypto-specific news outlets, including The Block, CoinDesk, and Yahoo Finance, which report that Bitmine recently made a major purchase, adding over 40,000 ETH to its treasury. Both components of the statement are independently verified by primary and secondary sources. The evidence is consistent across all provided documents, with no contradictions. Therefore, the statement as a whole is highly likely to be true.
