Last week, there were two notable large-scale accumulations in the crypto market.
Starting with Ethereum—Bitmine (BMNR) directly swept up 138,452 ETH into their treasury at an average price of about $2,978 per ETH, spending $412 million on the purchase. Including this latest addition, they now hold over 3.86 million ETH, with a total market value of $12.074 billion. However, with an average cost basis of $3,925 per ETH, they are still sitting on an unrealized loss of $3.095 billion.
The movement on the Bitcoin side was even bigger. Strategy (MSTR) acquired 10,624 BTC at a price of $90,615 each, putting in $962 million. Their current BTC holdings have surpassed 660,000 coins, valued at $59.82 billion, with a holding cost around $74,696 per BTC, resulting in an unrealized profit of over $10.4 billion.
Both treasury companies chose to increase their positions in the same week, and the market signals behind these moves are worth pondering.

Oh my god, MSTR is buying again. This guy really isn’t afraid of getting stuck holding the bag.
Bitmine is still down over $3 billion on paper but dares to keep buying. That’s some insane guts.
Both institutions increasing positions at the same time—are they sending a signal to retail investors? Or is this just a game of burning cash?
To be blunt, the little money we have isn’t even a fraction of what they play with.
MSTR’s average cost is way lower than the current price—they’ve got plenty of capital to be reckless.
Is Bitmine bottom-fishing with this move, or are they just blindly piling in?
This market is a playground for the rich. We’re just here to make up the numbers.
Both firms added in the same week, definitely interesting—feels like the tide might be turning?
Just thinking about a $12 billion ETH position gives me goosebumps.
Looking at their billions in unrealized gains, my tiny stash of coins doesn’t even compare.

You can really see institutions bottom-fishing this round, but BMNR is still sitting on pretty big unrealized losses...
---
Now that's what I call bold—MSTR dropped $962 million, and their unrealized gains have surpassed $10 billion. That's the confidence of a true HODLer.
---
Both increased their positions in the same week. That can't be a coincidence... You can sense they're all betting on something.
---
Bitmine got in at an average price above $3,000 and is now totally stuck—this is the risk of trying to catch the bottom.
---
Compared to BMNR, MSTR's moves this round are clearly smarter. The depth of their holdings is on a completely different level.
---
Can these two companies really change market expectations by doubling down? Feels like it's more about their own confidence.
---
MSTR getting into BTC at $98 really hit the jackpot. Seeing those unrealized gains now—I’m jealous.
---
When will I be able to calmly throw a billion into crypto like MSTR... just dreaming.
---
BMNR is having a tough time—bought in and now has to keep holding and wait for a rebound.

Still daring to keep buying after an unrealized loss of over 3 billion? That mindset is truly incredible.

Buying the dip again? These two companies are really bold.
MSTR is still making money, while Bitmine is sitting on an unrealized loss of over 3 billion but still dares to keep accumulating—pretty ruthless.
What market signal is this? Just rich and willful, I guess.
If it drops again, that’ll be interesting, haha.
Wait, do they know something we don’t?

They really dare to keep buying at this price? I have to see how things play out next.
---
Wait, MSTR already has a floating profit of $10.4 billion? What kind of monster-level position is this?
---
Both increased their positions this week, that’s impressive.
---
Bitmine is still floating a loss of over $3 billion. Are you really going this hard, man?
---
Both of them are betting on the same direction. If it goes south, that’ll be interesting.
---
An average price of $98 vs. over $90,000 now—how do they still dare to make a move with such a big gap?
---
Moving hundreds of billions like it’s nothing—aren’t you even a little scared?
