Bitcoin accumulation strategy reaches 629,000 BTC, generates a staggering $26 billion in earnings
In the dynamic world of cryptocurrency, institutional and treasury-focused investors are making significant moves in 2025. The focus is on accumulating sizable holdings of Bitcoin and Ethereum, funded through equity or debt issuance, as they seek to leverage the utility and yield potential of these digital assets.
Ethereum, in particular, is experiencing a surge in exposures. With ETH trading near record highs (~$4,783 as of August 2025) and bullish price forecasts like Tom Lee’s $15,000 by year-end, strong investor demand and institutional adoption are evident.
The appeal of Ethereum lies more in its utility for decentralized finance (DeFi), stablecoins, and real-world asset tokenization. Contrasting with Bitcoin's investment thesis centered on scarcity and store of value, Ethereum's staking yields (5–6% APY in Q2 2025) provide a significant structural edge for yield-seeking investors, higher than Bitcoin’s on-chain lending rates by over 200 basis points.
Recent developments such as Ethereum’s Dencun network upgrade (March 2024) and the launch of spot Ethereum ETFs in the U.S. (July 2024) have provided easier regulated access for institutional and retail investors.
Investors are adopting disciplined, phased investment strategies to manage risk during this bullish cycle. These strategies include dollar-cost averaging via weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly purchases, scaling out by selling portions as price targets are hit, and "de-risk and hold," selling enough to recoup initial capital while holding the rest for profit potential.
BTCS, a notable player, is planning to issue the world's first Ethereum dividend to its shareholders, suggesting a strategic adjustment that indicates the company is preparing for multiple market scenarios while preserving its treasury's dominance.
Meanwhile, BTCS's recent buying history shows a slowdown in its aggressive buying spree. The company purchased 430 BTC last week, a decrease from its previous purchases of 31,466 BTC in a three-week span ending August 3 and 17,075 BTC throughout June. However, Strategy still holds $48 billion in untapped ATM capacity across its preferred and common stock programs, indicating a potential for future purchases.
The overall trend among treasury companies is continued accumulation of both Bitcoin and Ethereum through capital raises and debt issuance by crypto treasury firms who seek leveraged exposure to these assets. This strategy supports plans for ongoing future purchases, especially given the bullish outlook and structural supports like staking yields and ETF availability.
In summary, institutional strategy for Bitcoin and Ethereum in 2025 currently involves large-scale, financed purchases aimed at leveraging both assets’ fundamental strengths—Bitcoin’s scarcity/store-of-value narrative and Ethereum’s utility and yield. These moves are supported by new fintech enabling regulatory-compliant exposure (ETFs) and scalable blockchain upgrades, making 2025 an exciting year for cryptocurrency investment.
