Fourteen publicly listed companies moved a total of 108,247 BTC, valued at about $8.08 billion, during 2026, on‑chain data shows.
Marathon Digital Holdings sold 40,581 BTC for roughly $3.03 billion at an average price of $74,446 per coin, representing the single largest corporate disposition. Riot Platforms disposed of 20,264 BTC, generating about $1.51 billion at $73,231 on average. Together they accounted for 60,845 BTC, or about 56 percent of the total volume. The remaining 47,402 BTC were sold by twelve other publicly listed firms, though the breakdown for those sellers was not disclosed.
Marathon Digital (ticker MARA) and Riot Platforms (ticker RIOT) are among the biggest publicly traded Bitcoin miners. They mine new BTC and also hold previously mined coins in their balance sheets, a practice that links their financial performance to the cryptocurrency’s price. Holding BTC allows them to diversify revenue but also exposes them to market risk.
The scale of the disposals indicates a shift in corporate treasury policy, possibly to fund new mining equipment, reduce debt, or lock in cash ahead of anticipated market moves. Investors will likely monitor on‑chain activity for further large transfers and watch the companies’ upcoming SEC filings and quarterly reports for explanations.
