Fourteen publicly listed companies have sold more than 108,247 bitcoins so far in 2026, worth roughly $8.08 billion at current prices, according to data compiled by Lookonchain. Eleven of the companies are bitcoin miners.
Mara Holdings was the largest seller, offloading 40,581 bitcoins for about $3.03 billion, at an average sale price of $74,446 per coin. Riot Platforms followed, selling 20,264 bitcoins worth $1.51 billion at an average price of $73,231. Bitdeer sold 10,553 bitcoins, Cango sold 7,001, CleanSpark sold 5,715 and CoreScientific sold 3,374.
Miners shift toward AI
Many of the mining companies among the sellers are migrating toward AI and high-performance computing businesses. Kulr and Sequans fully abandoned bitcoin accumulation after their sales, as did Bitdeer and Keel.
Other companies named in the Lookonchain data include Hut8, Hive Digital, Iren, Cipher Digital and Empery Digital. Bitcoin is down 16.2 percent in 2026.
Buyers add to Holdings
Not every company has been selling. Strive bought 29,151 bitcoins in 2026, while Strategy bought 177,863. Combined, the two firms’ purchases exceed 207,000 bitcoins, valued at about $15 billion at current prices.
Bitcoin traded at approximately $73,500 at the time of writing. By MacroHerald’s own measurement, bitcoin stood at $73,394 as of 11 November 2026, 01:25 GMT, down 2.32 percent from the previous close and its lowest level in 31 days. Pressure on the price this year has come from sentiment following a hacker attack on Binance, macroeconomic data and bitcoin ETF outflows, which have reached net outflows of $1.12 billion so far in 2026.
