Strive added 1,355 BTC for $107.7 million, exceeding Strategy's latest purchase of 950 BTC for $75.7 million.

Bitmine added 27,562 ETH, bringing its total to 5.98 million ETH.
Strive (ASST) bought more Bitcoin (BTC) than Michael Saylor's Strategy (MSTR) last week, adding 1,355 BTC for $107.7 million as publicly traded crypto treasury companies continued to deploy capital into digital assets.
Strategy returned to Bitcoin buying after a roughly two-week pause, purchasing 950 BTC for $75.7 million at an average price of $79,670 per Bitcoin.
Strive's latest purchase was larger in both Bitcoin and dollar terms, although Strategy remains by far the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin. Its latest purchase lifted its holdings to 846,000 BTC, while Strive's Bitcoin holdings rose to 26,355 BTC.
Tom Lee-backed Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) also continued to expand its Ethereum (ETH) treasury. It added 27,562 ETH over the past week and now holds 5.98 million ETH, representing about 4.9% of the cryptocurrency's total supply and inching closer to its 'alchemy of 5%' goal.
MSTR Spends More On STRC Buybacks
Strategy also continued to buy back its STRC preferred stock, repurchasing 1.77 million shares for $174 million over the past week. Including its Bitcoin purchase, Strategy deployed nearly $250 million across the two transactions.
Notably, the STRC repurchase was more than twice the amount Strategy spent on Bitcoin during the week. The board had initially authorized up to $1 billion for Digital Credit Securities buybacks, then doubled it to $2 billion earlier this month.

MSTR stock jumped over 8% in pre-market trading, following a 16% jump on Friday, when Bitcoin crossed $80,000, after the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) filed two new proposals with the White House's Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) for review.
