Growing Bitcoin Treasuries and Average Purchase Prices

Following this recent acquisition, The Blockchain Group’s total Bitcoin holdings have reached 1,904 BTC, with an average acquisition price of $106,000 per coin. Meanwhile, the Smarter Web Company’s Bitcoin treasury now totals 1,000 BTC, bought at an average price of $106,750 per coin.

Remarkable Bitcoin Yield Performance

Alexandre Laizet, deputy CEO of The Blockchain Group, revealed in a post on X that the company achieved a Bitcoin yield of 1,348.8% in 2025 so far. In comparison, the Smarter Web Company’s announcement stated its year-to-date Bitcoin yield stands at an impressive 26,242%.

Understanding Bitcoin Yield

Bitcoin yield is a shareholder-accretion metric first introduced by the prominent corporate Bitcoin treasury Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) in November 2024. It measures how quickly a company is increasing the amount of Bitcoin backing each fully diluted share, serving as a key performance indicator for Bitcoin acquisition strategies that aim to add shareholder value. This metric also aids investors in evaluating companies’ decisions to fund Bitcoin purchases through share issuance.

Corporate Bitcoin Treasuries Continue to Grow

These recent purchases align with a broader trend of growing corporate Bitcoin treasuries, driven by favorable market conditions and the success of firms like Strategy. Strategy notably reported $14 billion in unrealized gains for the second quarter of 2025, surpassing earlier expectations of $13 billion. During the quarter, Strategy continued to expand its Bitcoin holdings, including a purchase of 4,980 BTC valued at $531.1 million announced on June 30.

On the same day, Japan’s leading corporate Bitcoin treasury company, Metaplanet, acquired an additional 2,204 BTC for $237 million, bringing its total holdings to 15,555 BTC at an average price of about $99,985 per coin.
