Strategy and Strive dominate corporate Bitcoin accumulation despite broader business adoption

Bitcoin treasury companies Strategy and Strive controlled the majority of reported corporate Bitcoin accumulation, with their combined 2026 holdings additions reaching 197,000 BTC, exceeding the 193,000 BTC net increase reported for businesses overall. Strive recently bought 2,822 BTC during Oct. 12-13 at an average price of approximately $83,266 per coin, while Strategy also bought Bitcoin alongside spending more on repurchasing preferred shares. River reported a 10% increase over the past year in the number of public companies holding Bitcoin, but purchases outside the leading treasury firms need to increase in weight for demand to diversify.
