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

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.

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.
