Strategy Drops $1.25 Billion on Bitcoin

Strategy has reignited its billion-dollar bitcoin buying spree, acquiring 13,627 BTC for roughly $1.25 billion at an average price of $91,519 per coin.

  • Its total stash now reaches 687,410 BTC worth ~$62.3 billion

The move lifts Strategy’s total holdings to 687,410 BTC, acquired for $51.80 billion at an average price of $75,353 per unit. With bitcoin trading at $90,600, the company’s position is valued at almost $62.3 billion, generating an unrealized gain of more than $10 billion.

Michael Saylor, the firm’s former CEO, revealed the purchase on Sunday via X, posting:

Renewed Appetite After Modest Buys

The latest acquisition marks a return to the billion-dollar purchases that made Strategy the world’s largest corporate holder of bitcoin. After several smaller additions in recent months, the company resumed its aggressive accumulation strategy.

The timing aligns with Donald Trump’s 2024 election victory and anticipated regulatory shifts in the United States. Since late 2024, Saylor and his team have steadily increased purchasing activity.

Stock Volatility Mirrors Bitcoin

Despite the growing bitcoin stack, Strategy’s share price has mirrored recent crypto market turbulence. MSTR peaked above $450 last summer but has since tumbled 65%, closing Friday at $157.

The drop reflects broader bearish sentiment that has weighed on bitcoin and related equities in recent months.
