Strategy sells $335.5M MSTR shares, buys 520 BTC
The ATM-funded add brought the corporate BTC treasury to 847,363 coins at an average cost of $75,651, with the average purchase price on this tranche ($67,068) running 11% below that cost basis.
Major crypto ecosystems — Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, BNB, and other emerging networks.
The ATM-funded add brought the corporate BTC treasury to 847,363 coins at an average cost of $75,651, with the average purchase price on this tranche ($67,068) running 11% below that cost basis.
Bitmine now controls 4.7% of all ETH, is 94% of the way to its '5% Alchemy' target, and runs a $223M projected staking yield on the stash.
Saylor's treasury added to its position at $67,068 last week, but the 847,363 BTC stack still carries a $9.15B unrealized loss against an average cost of $75,651.
Bitmine's $10B ETH stack is sitting on over $9.5B in unrealized losses at an average cost basis near $3,440, and the treasury keeps adding to a position that is roughly 4.7% of all ETH in circulation.
Bitmine is 94% of the way to owning 5% of ETH, but the pace is slowing and its preferred-share financing push is running into the same pressure that has weighed on Strategy's MSTR.
A modest ticket by Saylor's standards, but the cadence of disclosed buys is the signal: treasury accumulation is now mechanical, not opportunistic, and the average cost basis keeps drifting higher.
The bitcoin addition is a rounding error on a 847,363-BTC balance sheet, but the $300M cash build is the real message: Saylor is funding STRC's dividend bid directly out of common-stock issuance.
The world's largest money-transfer operator is now a validator on a third network, and the read is that cross-border payment rails are being rebuilt on public-chain infrastructure from the inside.
Saylor's treasury machine kept printing BTC through MSTR stock issuance even as the preferred-equity leg of the capital stack ran into a price slide worth flagging.
A 118-year-old Scottish asset manager is issuing a dollar-denominated corporate-bond fund directly onchain, with BNY handling the rails.
The Rotki founder argues diverting up to 10% of validator rewards to fund core development would entrench large stakers and crowd out smaller operators, compounding a decade of governance drift.
A research-forum pitch to skim up to 10% of staking rewards for ecosystem funding lands hardest on Bitmine, whose $258M validator revenue is the single biggest exposure on Ethereum.
A widely-followed trader argues anyone buying now believing the bottom is in is making a mistake, with chart structure pointing to a $54K retest.
If validator yields compress, the trade is staker income for protocol solvency: EIP-7702 and native L2 interoperability get paid for in real time.
The headline is the personal sting for Vitalik, but the bigger read is institutional: encrypted mempools and MEV reform just stopped being an R&D wishlist and became overdue Ethereum infrastructure.
The proposal would let validators vote to redirect up to 10% of staking rewards toward ecosystem funding, but critics say it drags politics directly into consensus.
The dollar loss was small, but the flaw class is the same one behind $340M in cross-chain bridge hacks already this year, and the root cause was a prover signing key left exposed on GitHub.
The xStocks launch turns Kraken into a 24-hour equities venue for crypto-native wallets, layering real-world asset rails onto Solana just as the broader RWA race accelerates.
