Bitcoin treasuries added nearly $5 billion BTC in April before sales

Public Bitcoin treasury companies continued to accumulate Bitcoin this month as they collectively added, purchased, or disclosed 65,000 BTC.

That includes Strategy’s acquisition of 56,235 BTC, financed through record-breaking STRC ATM sales and marking one of its largest buying weeks to date, supported by more than 20 other companies’ additions of 8,500 BTC in total.

Yet aggressive sales among mining companies reduced overall growth. We measured sales and holding reductions of 6,900 BTC across all public companies in April — bringing this month’s net holdings increase close to 58,000 BTC.

At month-end prices, this amounts to $4.9 billion in Bitcoin purchases before sales, $4.3 billion purchased by Strategy alone, and a net increase of $4.4 billion.

Top additions this month include:

• Strategy, which added 56,235 BTC across multiple weekly purchases.

• Metaplanet, which disclosed the addition of 5,075 BTC over the first quarter of 2026, bringing it to third place on our leaderboard.

• BitGo, which currently holds 1,673 BTC per its recent 10-K — newly listed on our site though the filing details purchases dating back to 2023.

• Strive, which added 929.1 BTC in April, including 137 BTC over two days.

• CleanSpark, for which we calculate a holdings increase of 198 BTC.

Miners carried out the largest holding reductions. Riot Platforms has reduced its holdings to 15,680 since its last report, down 2,325 BTC by our calculations. HIVE Digital reported holding 481 BTC at the end of 2025 — a reduction of 1,720 BTC by our calculations. Finally, Cango performed a strategic sale of 2,000 BTC.

As of April 30, 2026, BitcoinTreasuries.net now records:

• Public company holdings of almost 1.22 million BTC

• More than 4.2 million BTC across all categories

• A valuation near $93 billion for public company holdings alone

Note: This month marks a methodology change as we include newly submitted but backdated entries in our monthly recap for the first time. Critically, this means that two sizable transactions — HIVE Digital (-1,720 BTC) and BitGo (+1,673 BTC) — are included in the above overview. This methodology has not been retroactively applied to previous monthly totals shown in the above charts and may or may not have an effect on past monthly totals.
