CEO Michael Saylor denied rumors of Bitcoin sales and reiterated Strategy’s buy-and-hold stance.
Strategy, the world’s largest public holder of Bitcoin, has resumed aggressive accumulation, purchasing $835 million worth of Bitcoin even as prices remain volatile and market sentiment has turned cautious.
In a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday, the company reported it bought 8,178 bitcoins at an average price of approximately $102,100 per coin.
The latest acquisition marks a substantial increase from its previous weekly pace of roughly 400–500 coins in October and early November.
The purchase underscores Executive Chairman Michael Saylor’s continued confidence in Bitcoin as a core corporate treasury asset, despite the recent pullback in the cryptocurrency’s price.
Bitcoin treasury grows to nearly 650k coins
Following the purchase, Strategy now holds 649,870 BTC. Based on CoinGecko pricing of about $94,200 per BTC, the company’s Bitcoin holdings are valued at roughly $61.7 billion.
The aggregate acquisition cost stands at $48.4 billion, implying paper gains of about $13.3 billion.
At this scale, Strategy controls more than 3% of Bitcoin’s total supply, making it the largest corporate holder of the asset globally.
“Big week,” Saylor hinted on X (formerly Twitter) prior to announcing the filing, signaling to followers that a sizable purchase was imminent.
Despite the buying spree, Strategy’s stock (MSTR) has fallen more than 16% over the past five days to $197.03, reflecting broader weakness in crypto-related equities following Bitcoin’s sharp adjustment.
Saylor reiterates commitment, dismisses sale rumors
Last week, Saylor denied speculation that the company had sold a portion of its Bitcoin holdings.
The rumor began with a post by Walter Bloomberg on X that cited data from Arkham Intelligence; the on-chain movement was later clarified as a wallet reshuffle rather than a liquidation.
“That rumor is simply not true,” Saylor responded.
“We’re the hosts. We actually bought a lot, and we’ll report the next batch on Monday morning. I think people will be surprised,” he told CNBC.
Just a week earlier, Strategy disclosed it had purchased an additional 487 BTC for $49.9 million, bringing its then-total to 641,692 BTC.
Volatility returns to Bitcoin
Bitcoin’s recent rebound came under pressure last week, with the cryptocurrency falling as much as 25% from October’s record-high region near $126,000 to a Sunday low of $93,029 before a modest bounce.
Although the U.S. government reopened after a record 43-day shutdown, market uncertainty tied to tariff policies and global risk-off sentiment contributed to significant liquidations across digital assets.
Still, 2025 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for corporate Bitcoin adoption. According to Bitcoin Treasury data, 194 publicly listed companies now hold BTC.
Other notable corporate holders include Marathon Digital (MARA), Twenty One, Metaplanet and Riot Platforms, each of which has expanded reserves amid clearer regulatory signals under the current administration.
