According to BBX data, yesterday's corporate Bitcoin reserve expansion and the divergence in Wall Street institutional crypto allocations both landed simultaneously, with the core dynamics as follows:

  • Strategy, Inc. (NASDAQ: $MSTR) submitted SEC Form 8-K, disclosing that the company purchased an additional 24,869 BTC between May 11 and May 17, with a total expenditure of approximately $2.01 billion, at an average price of about $80,985, marking the second-largest weekly purchase scale in 2026; the funds for this purchase came from the sale of 19.5 million shares of STRC preferred stock (net proceeds of about $1.949 billion) and 430,000 shares of MSTR common stock (net proceeds of about $83.7 million); as of May 17, the company's total holdings rose to 843,738 BTC, with a total acquisition cost of about $63.87 billion (average price $75,700), yielding 12.6% BTC since the beginning of 2026.

  • Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE: $GS) submitted Q1 2026 Form 13F to the SEC, disclosing that the company completely liquidated all XRP ETF holdings during Q1 2026 (previously held about $153.8 million, distributed among four issuers: Bitwise, Franklin Templeton, Grayscale, and 21Shares) and all Solana ETF holdings (previously about $108 million); simultaneously, it reduced its Ethereum ETF holdings by about 70% to approximately $114 million; retained Bitcoin ETF holdings of about $700 million (of which iShares Bitcoin Trust $IBIT is about $690 million and Fidelity FBTC is about $25 million), a slight reduction of about 10% from the previous quarter; meanwhile, the 13F showed that Goldman increased its holdings in Circle Internet Group, Inc. (NYSE: $CRCL), Galaxy Digital Inc. (NASDAQ: $GLXY), and Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: $COIN) during Q1, signaling a shift from "altcoin ETFs to crypto infrastructure stocks."
