Public companies scooped up more than 50,000 Bitcoin in the first quarter of 2026, pushing their collective holdings to a record 1.15 million BTC. This acquisition record highlights growing corporate adoption of Bitcoin as a treasury reserve. According to data compiled by Bitwise Asset Management, corporate Bitcoin holdings grew 4.59% from the previous quarter, now accounting for 5.47% of Bitcoin's total 21 million supply. The holdings were valued at $77 billion at the end of the period, reflecting an 18.96% decline in dollar terms due to price movements, with Bitcoin closing the quarter at $67,805.The number of public companies reporting Bitcoin on their balance sheets was 187, a modest 2.09% drop quarter-over-quarter. Despite the slight reduction in participants, net purchases remained robust at 50,351 BTC during the three months.Strategy led by a wide margin with 762,099 BTC. It was followed by XXI with 43,514 BTC, MARA Holdings at 38,689 BTC, Metaplanet with 35,102 BTC, and Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company holding 30,021 BTC. The figures point to an institutional tilt toward Bitcoin despite market volatility, and companies appear undeterred by short-term price fluctuations, treating the asset as a long-term store of value. This corporate buying has emerged as a key driver of demand, providing more consistent support than fickle retail flows. Bitwise noted the data draws from Bitcoin Treasuries.net, company filings, news reports, and public statements, offering one of the most comprehensive snapshots of listed-company exposure to Bitcoin. While the total value of holdings contracted with Bitcoin's price in the quarter, the steady accumulation of coins reflects growing conviction among corporate treasurers. The trond buil~~

IREN Limited is suddenly in the spotlight after Nvidia announced a massive $2.1 billion investment plan tied to global AI infrastructure deployment.
The deal, focused on building around 5GW of AI capacity, has boosted sentiment across the entire AI infrastructure sector — and IREN is one of the key beneficiaries.
The stock is currently trading near $56, already up about 54% over the past six months, and showing explosive long-term momentum. Over the past year, IREN has surged from roughly $6 to a high near $62 — a gain of more than 700% at its peak.
Now the market is asking a new question:
👉 Can IREN reach $100?
Some bullish Wall Street projections suggest it could.
Analysts, including optimistic forecasts from firms like Zacks, see potential upside toward $100–$125, implying more than 100% additional gains from current levels if the AI infrastructure cycle continues.
The bullish case is driven by several factors:
• Rising demand for AI data center power
• Strategic alignment with Nvidia’s infrastructure expansion
• Shift from Bitcoin mining support to AI energy supply
• AI compute becoming the new global bottleneck — not chips, but electricity
In other words, the story is no longer just about crypto mining.
It’s about powering the AI revolution.
However, investors should also note that the sector has already experienced a massive rally, and expectations are becoming increasingly aggressive. Whether IREN can sustain this momentum depends heavily on how quickly AI infrastructure demand translates into real long-term contracts and revenue.
For now, one thing is clear:
AI isn’t just reshaping software and chips — it’s reshaping energy itself.

Benchmark calls Bitdeer 'comparatively inexpensive' as it reiterates $27 price target for BTDR sharesBenchmark Equity Research reiterated its "buy" rating and $27 price target on Bitdeer Technologies, citing the stock's re-rating potential as a bitcoin miner transitioning into AI/HPC infrastructure.
Bitdeer shares (BTDR) surged nearly 21% Wednesday following Hut 8's (HUT) announcement of a massive 352 MW AI data center deal at Beacon Point, highlighting investor enthusiasm for hybrid bitcoin mining/AI firms, the analysts led by Mark Palmer said in a note on Thursday.

With that in mind, BTDR trades at a "comparatively inexpensive" 4.5x forward EV/revenue despite possessing similar power access, vertical integration, and proprietary chip development capabilities.

Bitdeer’s AI cloud ARR hit $43 million as of end-March, a 105% jump month-over-month, and management expressed strong demand from AI agents and enterprise workloads, Benchmark said.

"In the burgeoning subsector of hybrid bitcoin mining/AI-HPC stocks, in which many of the most visible names have already 'mooned' on AI enthusiasm, BTDR remains comparatively inexpensive despite possessing some of the same foundational elements that investors are now aggressively rewarding elsewhere: large-scale power access, vertically integrated infrastructure, and increasingly sophisticated proprietary chip development capabilities," Benchmark wrote.

Traders’ call to action- Stay bearish

The H1 chart was bullish, but the $460 short-term support zone was being retested at the time of writing. This level had been tested as resistance in mid-April, but appears to be flipped to support.

To line up the timeframes, the weekly showed a drop below the mid-range resistance, and the daily chart showed a bearish swing structure.

The move to $489 can easily turn into a swing failure pattern and result in a bearish continuation.

This is what traders can expect in the coming days. However, the invalidation should also be understood.

At the time of writing, a daily session close above $486 would indicate a bullish structural shift.

Ondo, Ripple, and Mastercard piloted a cross-border Treasury redemption on the XRP Ledger on May 6.

The test proves 24/7 real-time settlement for tokenized assets, solving a major friction point for banks.

Next, Ondo joins a DTCC working group with BlackRock and 2 others to standardize on-chain infrastructure

Ondo Finance, a leader in the tokenized asset space, announced May 6 the successful completion of the first near-real-time, cross-border redemption of a tokenized U.S. Treasury fund. The pilot program, conducted in collaboration with J.P. Morgan’s Kinexys, Mastercard, and Ripple, is seen as a significant milestone in bridging the gap between public blockchain infrastructure and global banking systems.

The transaction involved Ripple redeeming a portion of its holdings in the Ondo Short-Term U.S. Government Treasuries (OUSG) fund. The redemption was executed on the XRP Ledger and triggered a fiat settlement through the Mastercard Multi-Token Network (MTN).

Ripple characterized the successful test as a foundational shift for the industry

This is a meaningful step toward 24/7 global financial markets,” Ripple said in a statement. “By combining the XRP Ledger with global banking infrastructure, this pilot shows how institutions can execute cross-border transactions in a single integrated flow.”

The settlement process used J.P. Morgan’s Kinexys blockchain infrastructure to initiate the fiat payment. The funds were then routed through the bank’s correspondent network to be delivered to Ripple’s bank account in Singapore. This workflow demonstrates that tokenized assets can be liquidated and settled across international borders and outside of traditional banking hours with minimal delay.

The move addresses a primary friction point in the adoption of tokenized real-world assets: the “last mile” of settlement, where digital tokens

Ripple CEO Slams Outdated Bond Settlement System, Positions XRP Ledger as the Future

Instant Settlement: The $XRP Ledger has demonstrated the capacity to process bond redemptions in less than five seconds, compared to the two days required by the traditional system.

Institutional Adoption: Ripple, JPMorgan, Mastercard, and Ondo Finance recently completed a cross-border pilot for tokenized Treasury bonds.

RWA Growth: The total value of real-world assets (RWA) in the XRPL ecosystem surpassed $3 billion in May 2026.

During his appearance on the program Crypto in America, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse described the current bond settlement system as an obsolete and fragmented infrastructure. The executive noted that the $XRP Ledger presents itself as the technical solution to transform these markets toward real-time execution.

Garlinghouse characterized the conventional bond transfer process as a “slow and arcane” scheme. He added that reliance on multiple intermediaries—including custodians, clearinghouses, and settlement agents—entails unnecessary costs and increases the risk of corporate errors. In the current model, a transaction can take between 24 and 48 hours to complete due to manual reconciliations.
