Strive Accounts for More Than 90% of Public Companies’ Bitcoin Net Buying

Strive’s roughly $330 million Bitcoin (BTC) purchase accounted for more than 90% of the $360 million in net buying by listed non-mining companies worldwide last week, concentrating the week’s treasury demand in one company.

Strive bought 4,045 BTC, lifting its holdings to about 36,818 BTC. The purchase follows an earlier weekly addition of 3,311 BTC that took its holdings above 32,000 BTC.

Strategy spent about $22.1 million on 267 BTC. Its holdings reached 848,517 BTC, far exceeding Strive’s total despite its smaller purchase last week.

The Smarter Web Company, a British Bitcoin treasury company, bought 83 BTC for $6.93 million and held 2,830 BTC after the purchase. Bitmine bought one BTC, bringing its holdings to 215 BTC; its purchase price was not disclosed. Metaplanet made no purchase.

At 8 a.m. ET (12:00 UTC) Oct. 19, 2026, the tracked public companies excluding miners held 1,161,643 BTC. Those holdings were worth about $95.41 billion, equivalent to 5.8% of Bitcoin’s circulating market value.
