Strategy Makes Its Biggest Bitcoin Bet Yet With $1.25B Weekly Buy

Bitcoins

  • Strategy (MSTR) purchased an additional US$1.25 billion in Bitcoin, bringing its total holdings to 687,410 BTC at an average entry price of US$75,353.
  • The company’s total stash is currently worth approximately US$62.3 billion, representing more than US$10 billion in unrealised gains with Bitcoin trading around US$90,600.
  • Strategy raised US$748 million through share sales, building a US$2.19 billion cash reserve capable of covering interest and dividends for roughly 32 months.

Once again, like every Monday and almost religiously at this point, Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) has announced a new batch, but this time, a big boy purchase, one of US$1.25 billion (AU$1.86 billion).

The purchase lifts Strategy’s holdings to 687,410 BTC. The company said it has spent US$51.80 billion (AU$79.2 billion) in total to build the position, at an average entry price of US$75,353 (AU$112,324) per Bitcoin.

The company’s share price has moved with Bitcoin’s recent volatility. Strategy’s stock (MSTR) traded above US$450 (AU$670) last summer but closed Friday at US$157 (AU$234), a drop of about 65%.

MSTR Sits on Unrealised Gains, Cash Reserves

With Bitcoin trading around US$90,600 (AU$135,044), the stash is worth roughly US$62.3 billion (AU$95.3 billion), implying more than US$10 billion (AU$14.9 billion) in unrealised gains based on the figures provided.

Strategy’s buying has continued over the past 18 months, accelerating after Donald Trump’s late-2024 election win, when expectations grew for shifts in US crypto regulation, accordingly.

Strategy has also built for itself a nice trench of cash, over US$2.19 billion (AU$3.26 billion), lifting its cash reserve after selling common shares and raising about US$748 million (AU$1.12 billion).

That cash is big enough to cover the firm’s interest and preferred dividends for about 32 months, so they basically covered everyone with scheduled payments.

This also comes shortly after Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) decided not to remove crypto firms from indices yet, which triggered a nice pump for MSTR.

Bitcoin is currently trading around US$91K (AU$135K), practically no change today, but a slight decrease in the weekly chart, as per CoinMarketCap data.
