Strategy has repurchased its own convertible bonds due in 2029 for $1.5 billion. The transaction was completed at a discount of approximately 8% to par. Strategy has completed the repurchase of $1.5 billion of its 2029 Convertible Notes at an ~8% discount to par, generating an incremental 0.7% BTC Yield and lowering aggregate debt to $6.7 billion. $MSTR $STRC https://t.co/cbx4BlpsKV— Michael Saylor (@saylor) May 26, 2026 As a result of this financial operation, the company's total debt has been reduced to $6.7 billion. The yield on bitcoin assets per share increased by 0.7%. Since the beginning of the year, this indicator has reached 13.3%. In the week ending May 25, Strategy did not purchase any cryptocurrency. The company holds 843,738 BTC on its balance sheet. The total value of the accumulated digital assets is approximately $63.87 billion. The average purchase price of one bitcoin for the company over the entire period was about $75,700. The company's founder, Michael Saylor, noted that the flexible capital structure allows for balance sheet optimization depending on market conditions. The firm's liquid reserve in US dollars currently amounts to $871 million, and management plans to replenish it in the future.  Bitcoin Treasuries Last week, small public companies acquired 602.6 BTC worth approximately $46 million:  Strive purchased 381.6 BTC; DDC Enterprise Limited — 200 BTC; The Smarter Web Company — 19 BTC; Hyperscale Data — 2 BTC. The firms made these purchases when the price of bitcoin fell below $80,000. For instance, Strive acquired the asset at an average price of $79,348, while DDC paid $79,496.  The activity of small businesses coincided with an outflow of funds from spot exchange-traded funds based on the leading cryptocurrency. Over six trading days, $1.54 billion was withdrawn from these instruments. Analysts at Santiment described this as a "counter-indicator," noting that ETF investors' behavior often reflects retail sentiment rather than "smart money." Currently, bitcoin treasuries include 198 public companies. They hold 1.24 million BTC — nearly 6% of the total market supply of the asset. Source: BitcoinTreasuries. Back in May, SharpLink Gaming's head Joseph Shalom criticized Strategy's approach to managing crypto assets.

The US Senate Federal Credit Union (USSFCU), with assets valued at approximately $1.53 billion, is transitioning its banking core and payments to the centralized platform Thought Machine. USSFCU serves not only the Senate but also over 100 other agencies, including the Capitol Police, the Supreme Court, and the Government Accountability Office. The Union's portfolio includes retail and business accounts, mortgages, auto loans, credit cards, and products for non-profit organizations. The credit union will abandon outdated batch systems in favor of real-time architecture. Operations and payments will be consolidated into a single system, processing transactions within milliseconds inside the banking framework. The first phase involves migrating ACH and Fedwire. Subsequently, card products will be transferred, and the FedNow system with 24/7 settlements will be integrated. Thought Machine refers to its product configuration mechanism as "smart contracts." The platform allows for the setting of account logic, fees, and limits within the core without altering the base code. Thought Machine itself is a British developer of cloud platforms for modernizing banking and payments. The platform is used to launch current accounts, credit cards, loans, and mortgages, with over 200 ready-made product templates available. Deployment occurs in the cloud or via the SaaS model. In May, Standard Chartered bank agreed to acquire the digital asset custody company Zodia Custody.

Similar dynamics are observed on Gate (-79.6%) and Bybit (-66%). The expert linked this to macroeconomic pressure but suggested that the "drying up" of volumes might indicate seller exhaustion, as was the case at the end of the 2023 cycle. Balance of Power Despite the decline in turnover, several on-chain indicators point to stabilization, noted Glassnode. The spot index CVD, reflecting market buyer activity, rose by 77.2%, and a similar metric for perpetual futures increased by 35.5%. A 135.4% jump in funding rate payouts confirms the persistent demand for longs, although it has not yet turned into an aggressive rally. Exchange reserves remain near multi-year lows at 2.3 million BTC. The limited supply shields the market from sharp declines, but the start of a new upward trend requires a return of institutional interest in spot ETFs, whose inflow has significantly slowed. Awaiting Macroeconomic Triggers The market has adopted a wait-and-see stance ahead of the release of the U.S. Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Index — a key inflation indicator for the Fed. Excessively high PCE values could strengthen investors' belief in maintaining tight monetary policy, negatively impacting risk assets. Conversely, a cooling of inflation could bring buyers back to bitcoin. On May 25, the price of the leading cryptocurrency rose above $77,000 amid falling oil prices.
