According to Cointelegraph, Ryan Rasmussen, Head of Research at Bitwise, stated that overall Bitcoin treasury purchases by companies slowed in the third quarter of 2026, with Strategy adding a net 1,666 BTC during the quarter—down from 83,901 BTC in the second quarter—while other publicly traded companies added a net 5,617 BTC, compared to 45,725 BTC in the prior quarter. He expects corporate Bitcoin buying to accelerate again as early as this year. Jag Kooner, Head of Derivatives at Bitfinex, said that if the premium of treasury companies’ stock prices relative to their Bitcoin holdings rebounds, it could reignite equity-driven Bitcoin purchases; however, “a return to last year’s indiscriminate funding surge is unlikely,” with capital likely prioritizing established companies with scale, liquidity, and proven track records.
