Michael Saylor’s company isn’t just buying Bitcoin; it’s practically stockpiling it. The firm, now simply called Strategy, just added another significant chunk to its already massive holdings. This latest move puts them in control of a startling amount of the world’s most famous cryptocurrency.
Strategy bought 3,081 Bitcoins this past week. They spent about $356.9 million on this purchase. This works out to an average price of $115,829 for each Bitcoin. Mr. Saylor, the company’s executive chairman, announced this on X this Monday. The company also shared details in a regulatory filing.

Most of this recent buying spree was paid for by selling common stock. The company raised $300.9 million this way. A smaller part of the funding came from selling three types of preferred shares.
This newest acquisition pushes Strategy’s total Bitcoin stash to 632,457 BTC. They picked up all these coins for about $46.5 billion. The average cost per Bitcoin, including fees, stands at $73,527. The company even reported a Bitcoin yield of 25.4% so far in 2025.
Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, has been on this Bitcoin journey for a while. They started in August 2020 with a $250 million investment. That first buy brought 21,454 Bitcoins onto their company balance sheet. They were one of the first companies to adopt Bitcoin as a treasury strategy.
Their plan is simple: buy and never sell. They’ve funded most of their purchases in different ways. This includes issuing debt, selling preferred shares that never expire, and offering more capital stock. They have not sold a single Bitcoin. To date, Strategy has pulled in about $46 billion using these methods. All of it goes to back their big Bitcoin bet.
Strategy Holds Over 3% of All Bitcoin, But Faces Scrutiny
With this latest move, Strategy solidifies its spot as the biggest corporate holder of Bitcoin worldwide. Their collection of over 630,000 Bitcoins is worth a lot of money today. Even after a price dip over the weekend, the total value is about $70.5 billion, with Bitcoin trading around $111,500. This means the company is sitting on roughly $24 billion in unrealized profits.
To put it in perspective, Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings are huge. They make up 3.01% of the total 21 million Bitcoins that will ever exist. They also represent more than 3% of the 19.91 million Bitcoins currently in circulation.
Mr. Saylor often hints at these big purchases. On Sunday, he tweeted “Bitcoin is for sale,” alongside a chart of the company’s holdings. This came right before the official announcement.
Despite the firm’s conviction, investors sometimes get a little nervous. Last week, Strategy’s stock took a hit. It fell to a four-month low as the wider crypto market dipped. This made some fans question if Saylor would truly stick to his “never sell” promise. On Friday, the company’s stock (MSTR) closed at $358, down 0.52% for the week.
The stock continued to slide, trading 3.62% lower before the market opened on Monday. Bitcoin itself saw a 2.7% loss that day. It now trades 10% below its all-time high of $124,000, which it hit on August 14. These figures come from CoinGecko data.
