Strategy has purchased more Bitcoin, lifting its total holdings to a record 848,000 BTC. The report said the company, which treats Bitcoin as its primary treasury asset, continues to expand its cryptocurrency reserves. The information was reported by KRYPTOMAGAZIN.cz.

Bitmine Immersion Technologies (NYSE: BMNR) bought an additional 15,112 ether over the past week, bringing its total holdings to 6,016,414 ETH valued at about $16.33 billion and nearing its goal of owning 5% of Ethereum’s circulating supply. The company said it has staked 5,067,309 ETH, or 84% of its holdings, and projects an annualized yield of 2.63% and about $363 million in annual staking income. Bitmine’s average cost basis is $3,336 per ETH, above the current price of $2,714.62, leaving it in an unrealized loss position.

Strategy disclosed it bought 334 Bitcoin last week for $28.7 million U.S., a sharp slowdown from the 1,665 BTC it purchased the prior week. The company’s total holdings rose to 848,000 BTC at an average price of $75,441 U.S., with a market value of about $72.93 billion U.S. at a BTC price of $86,000 U.S. Over the same period, Strategy raised $15.7 million U.S. by selling common stock and repurchased $175 million U.S. of its high-yielding preferred stock.

Live Nation approved a plan to double CEO Michael Rapino’s annual compensation target to more than $60 million, even after a federal jury found the company and its Ticketmaster unit liable for unlawful monopoly practices. The new package, effective from 2027, includes annual stock awards and an upfront equity grant, with some awards vesting based only on continued employment. The decision has drawn attention to corporate governance and regulatory risk.

Bitwise’s NEAR ETF, NRR, began trading on NYSE Arca on September 29, 2026, and recorded $35.5 million in first-day net inflows, with $36 million in assets under management and $15.1 million in trading volume. The prospectus shows an annualized yield near 5% as of September 25, with staking expenses set at 33% of additional NEAR generated, leaving roughly 67% of rewards for shareholders. Separately, a NEAR governance proposal would reduce maximum annual issuance from 2.5% to 1.6%, but it has not been approved or implemented. NEAR Intents activity is presented as a separate adoption signal and is not evidence that ETF flows drove network growth.

U.S. regulators and market infrastructure providers are accelerating efforts to integrate crypto with traditional finance. The SEC has approved onchain trading of tokenized U.S. stocks and the first 3x leveraged Bitcoin and Ethereum ETPs, while the CFTC has sent new crypto market rules to the White House. The NYSE has struck a deal to bring tokenized stocks to 44 million crypto accounts, and BlackRock, DTCC, Visa and Mastercard have joined Circle’s Arc blockchain as validator nodes. The Treasury is reportedly pushing to expand U.S. dollar stablecoins globally, and DTCC plans to launch a tokenization service in October with over $114 TRILLION in assets, while U.S. stocks are set to move to 23-hour trading starting December 6.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net inflows of $241 million last week, extending a run of three consecutive weeks of net additions and lifting all-time cumulative net inflows to $57.8 billion.

Over the same period, spot Ether ETFs posted net outflows of $138 million, bringing year-to-date net inflows down to $1.5 billion. The flow data points to a stronger short-term preference for BTC than for ETH.

The first U.S. spot NEAR exchange-traded product, the Bitwise NEAR ETF (NRR), has begun trading.

The fund is custodied by Coinbase Custody Trust Company and charges a 0.75% annual management fee. After an upbeat debut, profit-taking pushed NEAR back to around $4.65.
