Forecast Trend Report by Period

Bitcoin slid sharply in the wake of U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Iran, yet U.S.-listed companies that have adopted a “Digital Asset Treasury (DAT)” strategy were seen adding to their Bitcoin holdings.

According to filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on the 2nd (local time), Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), led by Executive Chairman Michael Saylor, purchased an additional 3,015 bitcoins between the 23rd of last month and the 1st of this month. The purchases were funded with proceeds raised through sales of common and preferred shares.

Over the past six weeks, Strategy has secured more than $900 million through sales of common stock and perpetual preferred shares and used the funds to finance Bitcoin purchases. The company currently holds more than about 720,000 bitcoins.

ProCap Financial, led by Anthony Pompliano—often dubbed a Bitcoin evangelist—also bought an additional 450 bitcoins over the same period, taking its total holdings to 5,457. The company is also pursuing shareholder-value initiatives, including share buybacks at a discount to net asset value (NAV).
