Strategy acquired 3,450 Bitcoin worth $286 million last week, increasing its total holdings to 531,644 Bitcoin valued at $45.2 billion. The company paid an average of $82,600 per Bitcoin for this recent purchase.
Shifting its focus from software development to becoming a Bitcoin treasury, Strategy sold one million Class A common shares and retains the ability to issue an additional $2 billion in shares plus preferred stock. This strategic move supports their ongoing Bitcoin acquisitions.
Shares of Strategy rose 4% to around $312 amid gains in the tech-heavy Nasdaq index, fueled by tariff relief on technology imports such as smartphones and computers. This recovery followed earlier declines caused by financial concerns and uncertainties related to potential Bitcoin sales to meet obligations.
As the largest corporate Bitcoin holder globally, Strategy’s holdings represent over 2.5% of the total Bitcoin supply, far exceeding competitors like Marathon Digital, which holds approximately 47,500 Bitcoin. This makes Strategy the dominant force in institutional Bitcoin investment.
Separately, Tokyo-based investment firm Metaplanet increased its Bitcoin holdings by acquiring 319 Bitcoin, bringing its total to 4,525 Bitcoin valued at approximately $385 million. This positions Metaplanet as the 10th largest public Bitcoin holder worldwide.
Bitcoin’s price showed resilience amid volatility, rising roughly 8.3% over the past week despite earlier tariff-linked pressures. The recent price stabilization and corporate investment strategies highlight the growing institutional adoption and confidence in Bitcoin as a core treasury asset.
