CEO Michael Saylor denied rumors of BTC sales, reaffirming Strategy’s buy-and-hold stance.
The world’s largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, Strategy, resumed aggressive accumulation of the cryptocurrency with an $835 million purchase, despite market volatility and a cautious sentiment environment.
In a filing submitted Monday to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the company reported acquiring 8,178 Bitcoin (BTC) at an average price of roughly $102,100 each.
This purchase represents a significant acceleration compared with the company’s previous buying cadence of roughly 400–500 coins per week through October and early November.
The recent buy underscores CEO Michael Saylor’s conviction in Bitcoin as the company’s primary treasury asset, even after the recent pullback in the cryptocurrency’s price.
Bitcoin treasury grows to nearly 650,000 coins
Following the purchase, Strategy now holds 649,870 BTC, valued at about $61.7 billion at current prices, according to CoinGecko data showing BTC trading near $94,200.
The company’s cumulative acquisition cost stands at $48.4 billion, implying paper gains of roughly $13.3 billion.
At this scale, Strategy controls over 3% of Bitcoin’s 21 million supply, making it by far the largest corporate holder of the asset worldwide.
“Big Bitcoin week,” Saylor hinted on X (formerly Twitter) ahead of the announcement, signaling to followers that another sizable purchase was imminent.
Despite the wave of purchases, Strategy’s stock (MSTR) has fallen more than 16% over the past five days to $197.03 on Nasdaq, reflecting broader weakness in crypto-linked equities after Bitcoin’s sharp correction.
Saylor reaffirms commitment, denies sale rumors
Last week, Saylor dismissed speculation that the company had sold part of its Bitcoin holdings.
The rumor stemmed from a post by Walter Bloomberg on X citing Arkham Intelligence data, which Arkham later clarified reflected wallet reorganizations rather than liquidation.
“There is no truth to that rumor,” Saylor responded.
“We are buying. We are buying quite a bit, in fact, and we will report the next purchases Monday morning. I think people will be pleasantly surprised,” he told CNBC.
A week earlier, Strategy announced a purchase of an additional 487 BTC for $49.9 million, bringing its holdings at that time to 641,692 BTC.
Returns driven by Bitcoin’s volatility
Bitcoin’s recent rally came under pressure last week, with the cryptocurrency falling as much as 25% from its October record high near $126,000 to a Sunday low of $93,029 before recovering modestly.
Even with the U.S. government reopening after a record 43-day closure, market uncertainty tied to tariff policy signals from President Donald Trump and broader global risk aversion triggered large liquidations across digital asset markets.
Still, 2025 has been a pivotal year for corporate Bitcoin adoption, with 194 public companies now holding BTC on their balance sheets, according to Bitcoin Treasuries data.
Other notable holders include Marathon Digital (MARA), Twenty One, Metaplanet and Riot Platforms, each expanding reserves amid clearer regulatory signals under the current administration.
