The company Strategy has purchased 1,229 BTC for approximately $108.8 million, with an average acquisition price of around $88,568.

As of December 28, the holder of the largest corporate Bitcoin treasury has amassed a total of 675,497 BTC. Since August 2020, the firm founded by Michael Saylor has invested about $50.44 billion in cryptocurrency.

On Monday, December 29, the price of digital gold temporarily surpassed the $90,000 mark. At the time of writing, the exchange rate had reverted to around $87,500, offsetting the daily gain.

The current valuation of Strategy’s crypto reserve stands at approximately $58.8 billion.

BitMine has reported the acquisition of 44,463 ETH, bringing its total holdings to 4,110,525 ETH, which constitutes 3.41% of the total market supply of the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. The average purchase price for the asset is $2,948 per coin.

BitMine leads in terms of corporate Ethereum treasury size, valued at about $11.9 billion. In the crypto treasury segment known as DAT, it ranks second after Strategy.

The company also holds 192 BTC, has a stake in Eightco Holdings valued at $23 million, and possesses $1 billion in liquid cash.

BitMine is collaborating with three staking providers as it prepares to launch its own commercial network, MAVAN (Made in America Validator Network), in 2026.

According to the firm, the total amount of staked cryptocurrency has reached 408,627 ETH (approximately $1.2 billion). BitMine’s chairman, Tom Lee, stated that the fully deposited Ethereum reserve for generating passive income would yield about $374 million annually at the current composite rate of 2.81%.

The queue for staking ETH has, for the first time since July, doubled the number of withdrawal requests. Some observers have partially attributed this surge to BitMine’s actions.

It is worth noting that in October, Lee commented on a «burst bubble» in the DAT segment. Experts have predicted a significant crisis for companies holding cryptocurrencies on their balance sheets by 2026.
