Procap CIO Compares Bitcoin’s Setup to Silver’s Record Trading Frenzy

Despite Bitcoin trading about 12% lower than a year ago, corporate 
accumulation shows no sign of slowing in 2026.

Public companies quietly grow Bitcoin holdings as prices stay flat

Data shows February tends to be one of BTC’s best performing months, leading 
Bitcoin network economist Timothy Peterson to dub it the real “Uptober” event. 
Will history repeat itself next month?

Bitcoin Stalls at $89K as Consolidation Continues: Will the ‘February Factor’ Break the Deadlock?

The second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, Ethereum, appears 
to have quietly crossed an important critical threshold that has historically 
signaled major price expansions. While the Ethereum price action may still 
appear calm on the surface, underlying market structure and flow dynamics 
suggest a meaningful shift is underway. This type of transition typically 
occurs when accumulation replaces distribution, volatility compresses, and 
smart money positions ahead of broader market recognition. A Silent Shift That 
Usually Comes Before Violent Expansion Ethereum just crossed a quiet but 
massive threshold. Trader and investor Shuarix has mentioned on X that Zama 
has gone live with the first fully encrypted Initial Coin Offering (ICO) ever 
executed on the ETH mainnet, moving a confidential USDT and running a sealed- 
bid Dutch auction entirely on encrypted data. Related Reading: Ethereum Gains 
Institutional Support, Though ETH Price Outlook Remains Contested In just 3 
days, more than $118 million was committed, over $100 million was shielded, 
and the auction was 218% oversubscribed with more than 11,000 verified 
bidders. At peak activity, the Zama application became the most-used app on 
ETH, surpassing both USDT and Uniswap during the event, with zero downtime and 
full ETH-level throughout. Crypto analyst Milk Road revealed that BitMine 
Immersion Technologies has made a large purchase of 40,302 ETH in a single 
move, which brings their total stack holdings to a massive 4,243,338 ETH, 
worth over $12.3 billion at the current price. In perspective, the company now 
controls 3.52% of the entire ETH circulating supply, and they&#8217;re not just 
letting it sit idle. According to Milk Road, BitMine has over 2 million ETH 
tokens already staked, generating $180 million in annualized rewards. This 
means the company is not just playing the buy-and-hold game, but compounding 
its position at scale, which is all well and good for BitMine. Meanwhile, this 
sustained buying pressure will help create a price floor for the long-term ETH 
holders. Furthermore, this move is the type of institutional accumulation that 
will keep ETH moving inside its ascending channel. Thus, this will help to 
pull the price back into that channel after the macro shocks temporarily push 
it out. &#8220;Below is the 2025 tariff shock. While the headlines try to muddy your 
view of things, this chart will tell the real story,&#8221; Milk Road noted. 
Accumulation Continues Despite Price Being Near Entry Levels The realized 
price of the Ethereum accumulation address is acting as a major support level. 
A crypto investor known as CW has also pointed out that ETH has only reached 
this realized price once in history, which is very similar to the current 
price range. Related Reading: Ethereum Stalls In A Critical Zone As Breakout 
Structures Wait For Confirmation However, the whale&#8217;s purchase price for ETH 
is not significantly different from the current price. Despite that, their ETH 
accumulation is increasing, indicating that whales still view the current 
price as fair value. This shows that they are preparing for an upward trend.
