> Strategy held 848,250 BTC as of Oct. 12; Coinbase transaction revenue was 52% of second-quarter net revenue, while Circle reserve income accounted for 95.2% of total revenue.

Strategy (MSTR), Coinbase (COIN) and Circle Internet Group (CRCL) enter the Oct. 19-23 trading week with different crypto exposures as several economic releases are scheduled.

MSTR closed at $136.83 on Oct. 16; COIN finished at $173.16 and CRCL at $82.22. The regular session ended at 4 p.m. ET (20:00 UTC). The prices provide a shared market reference for the week, while the operating figures span two reporting periods: the second quarter for Coinbase and Circle and the Oct. 12 holdings date for Strategy.

Strategy added 250 Bitcoin (BTC) between Oct. 5 and 11, and held 848,250 BTC as of Oct. 12. That balance puts the company’s Bitcoin holdings at the center of its exposure in this comparison. Coinbase’s figures track transaction activity: for the quarter ended June 30, it generated $599.156 million in transaction revenue, equal to 52% of net revenue. Consumer crypto spot trading volume was 38% lower than a year earlier.

Circle Internet Group’s second-quarter revenue was heavily weighted toward reserve income, which made up 95.2% of total revenue. That income depends on the amount of its stablecoins in circulation and the return earned on reserve assets. The three companies thus bring distinct measures to the comparison: Bitcoin held, transaction revenue and spot volume, and reserve income. Circle’s percentage uses total revenue as its denominator, while Coinbase’s 52% is measured against net revenue.

The figures are not directly comparable: Strategy’s number is an asset balance, Coinbase’s revenue and trading volume reflect customer transactions, and Circle’s reserve income measures the main component of its revenue. That distinction gives context for three stocks during a week with economic reports spanning jobs, homebuilding, petroleum inventories, federal borrowing and business activity.

ADP is set to release its weekly private-sector jobs estimate at 8:15 a.m. ET (12:15 UTC) Tuesday, Oct. 20. September housing starts and building permits follow at 8:30 a.m. ET (12:30 UTC). Wednesday, Oct. 21, brings the Energy Information Administration’s weekly petroleum report at 10:30 a.m. ET (14:30 UTC) and a $13 billion Treasury reopening of 20-year bonds.

Weekly jobless claims are scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 22, at 8:30 a.m. ET (12:30 UTC). The U.S. Flash PMI is due Friday, Oct. 23, at 9:45 a.m. ET (13:45 UTC), completing the listed schedule of releases for the week.
