TL;DR
- Strategy increased its Bitcoin holdings to 709,715 BTC after purchasing 22,305 BTC for about $2.1B at an average price close to $95,284 per coin.
- The company now controls more than 3% of Bitcoin’s total supply, reinforcing its status as the largest public Bitcoin holder.
- The acquisition aligned with renewed strength in Bitcoin prices and a rebound in Strategy shares, supported by improving sentiment toward digital asset treasury companies.
Michael Saylor’s Strategy expanded its Bitcoin reserves again, moving past the 700,000 BTC threshold following one of its largest single acquisitions. The purchase took place as Bitcoin traded near recent highs, reflecting sustained institutional demand and renewed activity across spot markets.
According to a recent regulatory filing, the company acquired 22,305 BTC last week for approximately $2.13B, paying an average price of around $95,284 per coin. During the same period, Bitcoin briefly climbed above $97,000, according to market data, before consolidating slightly below that level.
Saylor’s Strategy And The Scale Of Bitcoin Accumulation
After the latest transaction, Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings reached 709,715 BTC, accumulated for roughly $53.92B. The company’s average purchase price of about $75,979 per Bitcoin highlights a long-term accumulation approach focused on balance sheet exposure rather than short-term market timing.
This acquisition represents Strategy’s largest Bitcoin purchase since February 2025 and signals a faster buying pace compared with most of last year. Earlier in January, the firm disclosed another significant buy of 13,627 BTC valued at about $1.3B, reinforcing a consistent pattern of capital deployment during periods of market strength.
From a supply perspective, Strategy now holds about 3.37% of Bitcoin’s fixed 21 million supply and approximately 3.55% of the coins currently in circulation. This level of concentration underscores the growing influence of corporate treasuries in absorbing available Bitcoin, particularly as new issuance continues to slow after the latest halving.
Market Response And Institutional Signals Around Bitcoin
The announcement coincided with a moderate increase in Strategy’s stock price, which moved above $185, broadly tracking Bitcoin’s move to multi-month highs. The rally also followed MSCI’s decision earlier in January to keep digital asset treasury-focused companies within its market indices, reducing concerns around index-related selling pressure.
After a volatile period in mid-2025 that raised questions about the sustainability of some digital asset treasury models, analysts have shifted attention toward capital discipline and funding structure. Research from CoinShares noted that firms with clear accumulation strategies and manageable leverage are better positioned to navigate market cycles.
