Listed Companies Boost Bitcoin Holdings Amid Market Volatility

The crypto market continues to see significant movements in both Bitcoin and Ethereum, according to recent data from listed companies. Strategy, a prominent Bitcoin treasury company, increased its USD reserves by $100 million, bringing the total to $1 billion.

Strategy also made a notable purchase of 1,550 BTC at a price of $65,332, increasing its total holdings to 845,256 BTC. This move was part of a larger trend in which listed companies increased their net Bitcoin purchases by 9 times week-on-week, with Strategy providing support by buying at lower levels.

FG Nexus, another NASDAQ-listed company, sold 10,000 ETH, resulting in total losses exceeding $100 million. Meanwhile, Ethereum whale BitMine announced plans to replicate MicroStrategy's financing model, aiming to raise up to $300 million through the issuance of Series A perpetual preferred shares (code: BMNP) on the New York Stock Exchange.

Lucy Gazmararian, founder of Token Bay Capital, noted that the recent Bitcoin price pullback is more characteristic of a typical 'mid-cycle bear market' rather than a structural market collapse. She emphasized that if Bitcoin does not show a significant recovery in Q4 this year, it could indicate that the market is entering a deeper phase of adjustment or structural risk.
