According to a BlockBeats report on May 9, BitcoinTreasuries.net's April 2026 corporate adoption update shows public companies and corporate treasuries added 64,722 BTC during April. Net purchases totaled about 57,791 BTC, marking one of the biggest buying months since mid-2025. Strategy accounted for most of the activity, purchasing 56,235 BTC in April. The buying was funded mainly through at-the-market (ATM) offerings tied to STRC and MSTR. Between April 1 and May 3, STRC raised $3.3 billion, representing roughly 80% of Strategy's $4.1 billion in total ATM financing over the same period and setting a monthly record. The report said April's corporate BTC buying nearly matched the combined net buying of the previous two quarters, pointing to a strong start to Q2. Bitcoin ETFs now hold or provide exposure to about 1.5 million BTC, roughly 300,000 more than corporate reserves. BlackRock's IBIT and Strategy remain neck-and-neck: as of May 5, Strategy held 818,334 BTC, while IBIT held about 818,147 BTC. Separately, enterprises are estimated to hold around $22 billion in altcoin reserves, including approximately $16.2 billion in ETH reserves.
