Michael Saylor's Strategy acquired 13,627 Bitcoin (BTC) for approximately $1.25 billion over the weekend, marking one of the company's largest single purchases this year.

The buy brought Strategy's total holdings to 687,410 BTC as of January 11.

The former MicroStrategy firm paid an average of $91,519 per coin during the accumulation period.

What Happened

Strategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor announced the purchase via social media.

The company's total Bitcoin holdings are valued at approximately $62.9 billion based on current market prices.

Strategy's average purchase price across its entire position stands at $75,353, representing a total cost of $51.80 billion.

The purchase represents a 2% increase to Strategy's Bitcoin treasury in less than a week.

The company had held 673,783 BTC as of January 5, meaning the latest acquisition added roughly 13,627 coins.

Strategy typically funds purchases through at-the-market stock sales of its MSTR shares.

Why It Matters

Strategy controls more than 3% of Bitcoin's 21 million fixed supply, cementing its position as the world's largest corporate Bitcoin holder.

The aggressive accumulation continues despite Bitcoin trading below its October 2025 all-time high near $126,000.

Strategy maintains a $2.25 billion USD reserve to cover dividend payments and interest obligations.

The company faces potential exclusion from major equity indexes if Bitcoin holdings exceed 50% of total assets.
