Coin Stock Barometer丨Strategy Invested $1.25 Billion Last Week to Add 13,627 BTC, Total Holdings Unrealized Profit Exceeds $10.55 Billion; Bitmine Holdings Increase to 4.168 Million ETH, Unrealized Loss of $3.225 Billion (January 13)
Crypto Market Weekly Roundup: Strategy Invests $1.25B in Bitcoin, BitMine Expands ETH Holdings
Last week saw traditional equities and precious metals rally, while crypto-linked stocks remained subdued with only a few like BKKT and RIOT posting gains. Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) invested $1.25 billion to acquire 13,627 BTC, bringing its total holdings to 687,410 BTC. With an average cost of $75,353, its unrealized profit now exceeds $10.55 billion.
Institutional analysis suggests digital assets are transitioning from speculative instruments to financial infrastructure in 2026, driven by clearer stablecoin regulations and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. South Korea lifted its nine-year ban on corporate crypto investments, now allowing listed firms to allocate up to 5% of net assets to top cryptocurrencies.
On the Ethereum front, BitMine increased its ETH holdings by 24,266 tokens, bringing its total to 4.167 million ETH. However, its position shows an unrealized loss of $3.225 billion with an average cost of $3,862. The company's chairman urged shareholders to approve a proposal to authorize more shares to prevent a slowdown in its ETH accumulation strategy.
Other notable moves include Bit Digital holding over 155,000 ETH, ALT5 Sigma maintaining its WLFI token treasury, Bakkt acquiring stablecoin infrastructure firm DTR, and AIxCrypto planning a $10 million strategic investment in Faraday Future.
