Strategy (NASDAQ: MSTR), recognized as the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin worldwide, has once again expanded its treasury after prices momentarily fell below $110,000 last week.
In a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday, the company disclosed it acquired 196 BTC for $22.1 million, yielding an average purchase price of $113,048 per coin. filing
This acquisition, financed through an at-the-market stock program and the issuance of perpetual preferred stock, marks Strategy’s ninth consecutive week of Bitcoin purchases.
With this latest addition, Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings now amount to 640,031 BTC, acquired for an overall price of $47.35 billion — averaging $73,983 per coin.
Bitcoin experienced a rebound on Monday, recovering from recent multi-week lows as renewed accumulation by major holders helped stabilize the market following significant outflows last week.
The leading cryptocurrency is currently trading around $112,300, having bounced back from a low of just below $109,000 recorded a few days prior.
In the past week, Bitcoin fell over 5% due to intense liquidations and selling pressures.
Increasing institutional interest in Bitcoin
Strategy’s consistent accumulation aligns with the rising institutional interest in Bitcoin, with corporate treasuries now holding over 1 million BTC — roughly 5% of the circulating supply. The pace of accumulation has accelerated in 2025 as new participants continue to join the ranks of Bitcoin treasury holders.
Despite Bitcoin’s recent fluctuations, co-founder Michael Saylor has emphasized that the company intends to maintain its momentum.
This latest purchase, although one of the smaller acquisitions in recent months, coincides with Saylor’s reaffirmed optimistic outlook.
Speaking last week, he forecasted that Bitcoin would start to rise again as we approach the year-end due to increasing institutional demand: “As we navigate the recent resistance and some macro challenges, we will likely see Bitcoin rise significantly again toward the end of the year.”
MSTR stock facing challenges
While Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings continue to increase, its stock performance has lagged behind. MSTR has declined by more than 7% in the past month, falling from a peak near $455 earlier this year to approximately $315 today during premarket trading. Shares briefly dipped below $300 last week but recovered alongside Bitcoin’s rise above $112,000.
Nonetheless, the company’s $47 billion Bitcoin investment remains central to its valuation. Strategy’s aggressive accumulation approach has positioned it as a fundamental indicator of institutional Bitcoin adoption, closely monitored by traditional investors and the larger crypto community.
