TLDR

- BigAg company AgriFORCE is becoming an AVAX treasury company.
This week has been absolutely bonkers for crypto treasury companies. These massive companies continue to invest heavily in treasury strategies. Every week, there are significant acquisitions by the movers and shakers in institutional finance. Or at least, that’s how it seems lately.
The corporate world is waking up to what many of us have known for years: crypto isn’t internet money anymore. It’s becoming a legitimate treasury asset and has new use cases being born every day. Time to get after it.
Metaplanet Makes Biggest Purchase to Date
First up in crypto treasury news, Japanese investment firm Metaplanet has made headlines by acquiring a massive 5,419 BTC for roughly $632.5 million. That’s not pocket change — we’re talking about their largest Bitcoin acquisition ever.
CEO Simon Gerovich announced the purchase on X, revealing they paid an average price of about $116,724 per Bitcoin. With this latest haul, Metaplanet’s total Bitcoin stash has reached 25,555 BTC, worth approximately $2.71 billion at their average purchase price of $106,065 per coin.
The acquisition makes Metaplanet the fifth-largest publicly held corporate Bitcoin holder, surpassing Bullish in the rankings. That’s serious institutional validation for Bitcoin as a treasury asset.
AgriFORCE Rebrands to AVAX One with $550M Strategy
Plot twist of the week: AgriFORCE Growing Systems is completely pivoting and rebranding to AVAX One, with plans to raise approximately $550 million to invest in AVAX tokens from the Avalanche network.
That isn’t just a small side bet — they’re going all-in on becoming the first NASDAQ-listed company dedicated to maximizing ownership of AVAX, Avalanche’s native token. CEO Jolie Kahn called it building the “Berkshire Hathaway of the onchain financial economy.”
The company’s strategy involves raising $300 million through a PIPE (private investment in public equity) deal, plus an additional $250 million through other funding methods. Their goal? Owning more than $700 million worth of AVAX tokens.
What’s Avalanche, you ask? It’s a high-speed blockchain that major financial players are using to create their own custom blockchains. The network is currently secured by $6.2 billion in staked assets, making it a serious player in the institutional crypto space.

BitMine’s Ethereum Empire Grows
BitMine Immersion Technologies now owns more than 2% of the entire ETH token supply — that’s 2.416 million ETH tokens worth billions of dollars.
Their total crypto and cash holdings hit $11.4 billion, including that massive ETH stash, 192 Bitcoin, and $345 million in unencumbered cash. BitMine is now the largest ETH treasury in the world and the second-largest global crypto treasury behind Strategy.
Chairman Thomas “Tom” Lee from Fundstrat explained their “Alchemy of 5%” strategy, which aims to own 5% of Ethereum’s total supply. That’s an absolutely massive bet on Ethereum becoming the backbone of future finance.
They’re now one of the most actively traded stocks in the US (top 30), with an average daily trading volume of $50 million. That’s serious mainstream attention for a crypto-focused company.
Strategy Keeps Stacking Sats
The OG Bitcoin treasury company added another 850 BTC to its already enormous pile. They spent approximately $99.7 million at an average price of $117,344 per Bitcoin.
Strategy’s total holdings now sit at 639,835 BTC — worth around $72 billion — representing more than 3% of Bitcoin’s total 21 million supply. They’ve spent about $47.3 billion acquiring these coins at an average price of $73,971 per Bitcoin, meaning they’re sitting on roughly $25 billion in paper gains.
Executive Chairman Michael Saylor has been the most vocal advocate for Bitcoin as a treasury asset, and Strategy’s continued purchases show they’re not slowing down anytime soon.
Is the Corporate Crypto Treasury the Future?
Possibly. These corporate crypto treasury moves continue to accumulate. We’re watching the financial world’s architecture change in real-time.
When major corporations start dedicating hundreds of millions or billions of dollars to crypto assets, it shows the world that businesses approach storing value differently than they used to. These aren’t speculative plays — they’re strategic decisions by companies with serious financial expertise.
For crypto newcomers, this institutional adoption is huge validation. It suggests that crypto assets are moving from experimental internet money to legitimate financial instruments that major corporations trust with their treasuries.
However, remember that corporate treasury strategies involve massive amounts of money and professional risk management that individual investors might not have access to. While these moves are encouraging for the crypto space overall, they don’t guarantee that crypto prices will only go up.
The companies making these moves have done extensive research, have professional investment teams, and can handle significant volatility. If you’re just getting started with crypto, make sure you’re only investing what you can afford to lose and take time to understand the basics before jumping in.
