Public Companies Are Abandoning Bitcoin Accumulation Strategies

Amid declining prices and increasing financial pressures, many public companies are abandoning their Bitcoin accumulation strategies. Matthew Sigel, head of digital assets at VanEck, noted that numerous firms have either fully or partially liquidated their cryptocurrency holdings.

For instance, Satsuma Technology shareholders voted overwhelmingly to liquidate all 668 BTC, worth approximately $43.5 million, and to delist from the London Stock Exchange. Similarly, Sequans Communications has nearly completed the sale of its cryptocurrency to alleviate debt, officially exiting the digital asset market.

In the mining sector, Bitdeer has sold all its mined and held Bitcoin while pivoting towards artificial intelligence infrastructure. MARA, another mining firm, sold 15,133 BTC for about $1.1 billion to repurchase convertible bonds, indicating it may selectively engage in Bitcoin transactions based on market conditions.

Nakamoto Inc. has also faced significant challenges, with its stock value plummeting 99% post-IPO. The company sold over 320 BTC to strengthen its working capital, while a substantial portion of its remaining reserves is tied up as collateral for a loan from Kraken, which is due in December 2026.

Further compounding the trend, Strategy, the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, sold 3,620 BTC between late May and early July, first for preferred stock payments and then to restore dollar reserves. As it stands, the company retains 843,775 BTC in its treasury. Overall, since reaching an all-time high of over $126,000 in October, the total assets of cryptocurrency treasuries have declined by more than one-third, reflecting the ongoing turmoil in the market.
