- Strategy has increased its Bitcoin holdings to 638,985 BTC with a $60.2 million purchase at $114,562 per coin.
- The firm’s average purchase price sits at $73,913, yielding 25.9% YTD despite recent public criticism.
- Strategy’s stock dropped 2% after missing S&P 500 inclusion, yet its Bitcoin strategy remains unchanged.
Strategy, led by Michael Saylor, has acquired an additional 525 Bitcoin valued at around $60.2 million. The purchase was made at an average price of $114,562 per BTC. This was confirmed by Saylor through a post on X earlier today. The recent transaction increases the firm’s total Bitcoin holdings to 638,985 BTC.
According to the update, Strategy has spent approximately $47.23 billion to accumulate its current Bitcoin position. This gives the company an average purchase price of roughly $73,913 per BTC. With a year-to-date yield of 25.9%, the firm continues to benefit from Bitcoin’s performance throughout 2025.
Smaller Acquisition Draws Attention
The latest acquisition is notably smaller than the firm’s typical purchase volumes. Historically, Strategy has made large-scale Bitcoin purchases in the hundreds of millions. This smaller buy marks a shift in its accumulation pattern, though the reason behind the change has not been publicly disclosed.
The purchase follows criticism from angel investor Jason Calacanis, who recently advised the public to avoid Strategy’s stock. He argued that Saylor’s approach to aggressive Bitcoin accumulation may be damaging to the broader perception of Bitcoin. Instead, Calacanis suggested that investors should consider holding Bitcoin directly.
S&P 500 Setback
Strategy’s latest Bitcoin purchase also comes days after the company was excluded from the S&P 500 index. Despite meeting several criteria, the firm failed to secure a spot on the benchmark index. Following the announcement, Strategy’s stock (MSTR) declined by nearly 2 percent in intraday trading. Analysts at JPMorgan noted that the non-inclusion represents a significant setback.
Despite market concerns, Saylor has shown no signs of retreat. Recently, he posted an image of the new iPhone 17 Pro in orange, a color often associated with Bitcoin. The post is widely viewed as a symbolic gesture reinforcing his commitment to cryptocurrency.
