Strategy, the company led by Michael Saylor and known for holding the largest corporate Bitcoin treasury, has resumed large-scale BTC purchases after weeks of smaller acquisitions. On Monday, the firm filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to report a new Bitcoin buy worth approximately $835 million, securing 8,178 BTC. The move came during a week of price volatility for Bitcoin, which dropped around 11% in the last seven days.
Notably, this is Strategy’s most substantial BTC acquisition since July 2025. According to the SEC filing, the company acquired the coins at an average price close to $102,000 per Bitcoin, marking one of its highest purchase prices to date. This brings Strategy’s total holdings to 649,870 BTC, valued at nearly $62 billion at current prices.
Previous weekly purchases had ranged between 400 to 500 BTC. This sharp increase follows several public comments from Saylor, who wrote on X, “It will be a ₿ig Week,” before the announcement. The post appeared shortly after online speculation surfaced about the company possibly reducing its Bitcoin position.
Rumors of BTC Selling Denied
Last week, reports suggested Strategy was moving BTC out of its treasury, sparking speculation of a sale. These claims were addressed by blockchain analysts, who found the transactions to be internal wallet reshuffling—a pattern Strategy has followed in the past.
Michael Saylor also commented on social media, saying his firm had continued purchasing Bitcoin even as prices dropped from $107,000 to $94,000. He said the company had been buying “every day” during that correction. His remarks aimed to reassure holders that the company’s long-standing buy-and-hold strategy remains unchanged.
Moreover, the purchase occurred during a dip in Bitcoin’s price. As of the time of writing, BTC is trading around $93,772, down from recent highs. The timing of the buy suggests the company remains committed to acquiring more BTC during market pullbacks.
Data from CoinGecko also showed an 11% price drop over the past week. Despite this, Strategy continued adding to its position. This move appears consistent with its long-term approach of accumulating Bitcoin during price drops.
MSTR Stock Slides Despite Purchase
Despite the large acquisition, Strategy’s stock (MSTR) has declined over the past week. Shares on Nasdaq dropped more than 16%, currently trading at $197.03. This follows a broader market downturn and Bitcoin’s recent price correction.
Meanwhile, public attention turned to a possible on-stage debate. Gold investor Peter Schiff challenged Saylor to a live discussion during Binance Blockchain Week in Dubai. Schiff wrote that Strategy’s “entire business model [was] a fraud.” At this time, Saylor has not publicly responded to the offer.
