Public-company treasuries loaded up during the first week of June, with five firms buying a combined 4,507.66 BTC worth roughly $287.94 million, led by Strategy's 1,550 BTC ($101.3M at $65,332) and Strive's contribution, per the Lookonchain weekly report. Bitmine, the Tom Lee–associated ETH treasury vehicle, added another 126,971 ETH valued at $213.18M in the same window.
Why it matters
The aggregate $501M corporate bid arrived as Strategy continues its pace of accumulation and newer entrants like Bitmine scale ETH exposure — a sign that the corporate-treasury thesis is broadening beyond BTC into the second-largest asset. Strive and Bitmine are part of a cohort of public-company vehicles using balance-sheet capital to chase per-share NAV expansion via crypto holdings.
Market impact
The treasury flows landed against a sharp rebound in on-chain activity: spot DEX volume jumped 64% week-over-week and perpetual DEX volume climbed 69%. The simultaneous re-acceleration in trading and accumulation suggests renewed risk appetite rather than passive rotation. Counterbalancing the bullish tone, the stablecoin market cap contracted by $3.47B for the week — a potential headwind for incremental dry powder if it persists.
