Fresh turbulence in the crypto market is affecting companies holding bitcoin and other tokens, raising concerns in the rapidly growing sector. Concerns over AI bubble and Fed rate cuts have pushed bitcoin to its lowest level since April, with at least 15 bitcoin treasury companies trading below token value.

Publicly traded companies investing in cryptocurrencies have surged this year, influenced by Trump’s crypto-friendly stance and Michael Saylor’s success with Strategy. DATs hold 4% of all bitcoin, 3.1% of all ether, and 0.8% of all solana, impacting coin prices and prompting analysts to predict consolidation in the space.

Executives at DATs emphasize the importance of smart investing decisions for their success, seeking new ways to generate income. Shares of bitcoin DATs, including Michael Saylor’s Strategy, have fallen significantly, with new entrants diversifying into other coins like ether.

Ether DATs have alternative means of generating tokens through staking, unlike bitcoin DATs which rely solely on price appreciation. Companies are expanding their holdings to include altcoins like solana and Ripple’s XRP, with shares spiking upon announcement of stockpiling plans but now lower than their 2025 highs.
