  3. Riot Platforms sold 20,264 BTC at an average price of $73,231, generating about $1.51 billion.

  4. MARA and Riot Platforms together sold 60,845 BTC, or about 56.2% of the total.

Fourteen public companies sold 108,247 Bitcoin (BTC) for about $8.08 billion so far in 2026, according to TokenPost’s tally. MARA and Riot Platforms accounted for 60,845 BTC, or about 56.2% of the volume, placing their balance-sheet decisions at the center of the year-to-date corporate selling story.

The figure marks a shift in the corporate-Bitcoin discussion from treasury accumulation to monetization. TokenPost previously covered public companies that sold all of their Bitcoin after adopting treasury strategies. The current tally instead measures the scale and concentration of sales across 14 issuers.

MARA and Riot set the pace

  • MARA: 40,581 BTC sold at an average price of $74,446, generating about $3.03 billion.
  • Riot Platforms: 20,264 BTC sold at an average price of $73,231, generating about $1.51 billion.
  • Combined: 60,845 BTC, representing about 56.2% of all Bitcoin sold by the 14 companies in the tally.

MARA’s reported average was $1,215 higher than Riot’s. Together, the two companies generated about $4.54 billion, which broadly matches their 56.2% share of both the 108,247-BTC total and the $8.08 billion valuation. The concentration therefore reflects the distribution of sellers rather than a large gap between the two reported average prices.

The other 12 companies sold 47,402 BTC, or 43.8% of the tally. The source does not name them or provide individual totals, so their role can be measured only in aggregate. Their share remains substantial: nearly half of the reported coins came from companies outside the two leaders.

What does this change for corporate Bitcoin treasury strategy?

For an issuer that adopted a Bitcoin treasury strategy, the operational issue is no longer limited to acquiring or holding the asset. The 2026 figures show large-scale monetization by MARA and Riot, generating about $3.03 billion and $1.51 billion in reported proceeds, respectively.

That makes the exit path as important to treasury planning as the entry. A Bitcoin position can support cash generation, but converting it into cash requires attention to liquidity, timing and the size of any sale.

TokenPost’s earlier coverage of companies that liquidated all their Bitcoin after adopting treasury strategies provides context for the current result. The 2026 tally adds a 14-company group with two substantial sellers. The source does not disclose either company’s remaining holdings, transaction dates or stated reasons for selling, so it cannot establish whether either sale exhausted its Bitcoin position.

More broadly, the data shift the analytical focus for investors and trading counterparties from headline holdings to the scale, concentration and timing of monetization. A total of $8.08 billion across 14 public companies does not establish uniform adoption across corporate markets. It does show that Bitcoin has become a balance-sheet item large enough for listed issuers to execute material disposals.

With 56.2% of the volume tied to MARA and Riot, the reported flow of corporate Bitcoin sales depends materially on two issuers’ decisions. Broader participation among the other 12 companies would disperse that influence; continued leadership by the two largest sellers would keep it concentrated.

The year-end 2026 tally will show whether the remaining 12 companies broaden the seller base or leave corporate Bitcoin sales concentrated in MARA and Riot.
