Strategy Announces a Huge Bitcoin Purchase, It Now Holds Over 660,000 BTC

2025/12/08 21:30

Strategy (formerly known as MicroStrategy) kept its tradition of announcing Bitcoin purchases at the start of each week. Its latest buy is of a whopping 10,624 coins, acquired for approximately $963 million at an average price of $90,615 per unit.

Michael Saylor – the vocal proponent of the leading digital asset and founder of the company – revealed that Strategy has achieved BTC Yield of 24.7% YTD 2025 and currently holds 660,624 BTC.

The entity started accumulating Bitcoin in the summer of 2022 and spent almost $50 billion to amass this stash at an average price of $74,696 per coin.

As of this writing, the USD equivalent of the Strategy’s crypto holdings is more than $60 billion, implying a profit of approximately $10 billion (at least on paper).

The latest acquisition is much more substantial than the ones from the past several weeks. Recall that on December 1, the firm revealed the purchase of “just” 130 BTC. More importantly, though, it established a USD Reserve worth $1.44 billion to “support the payment of dividends on its preferred stock and interest on its outstanding indebtedness.”

Kalshi Jumps to 62% Market Share While Polymarket Eyes $10B Valuation

The post Kalshi Jumps to 62% Market Share While Polymarket Eyes $10B Valuation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Fintech 19 September 2025 | 16:03 Event-based trading platforms are no longer niche experiments – they’re emerging as a major arena where finance, crypto, and information converge. After months of subdued activity, volumes are climbing again, and U.S.-regulated Kalshi has unexpectedly taken the lead. Betting on Everything From Rates to Sports Analysts at Bernstein describe prediction markets as a new “interface for information,” where users speculate not only on sports results but also on Federal Reserve decisions, quarterly earnings, and even crypto price moves. This year alone, more than $200 million changed hands on Polymarket contracts linked to the Fed’s recent 25 bps rate cut, while $85 million traded on Kalshi around the same decision. Mainstream brokers like Coinbase and Robinhood are watching closely, with ambitions to capture some of the momentum. With U.S. sports betting already worth tens of billions annually, the overlap is too big to ignore. Against that backdrop, Kalshi has delivered one of its strongest months since the 2024 elections. The platform reports $1.3 billion in trading volume so far in September, accounting for 62% of global prediction market activity. Just a year ago, Kalshi’s share stood at 3%. CEO Tarek Mansour called the growth “remarkable,” noting that the exchange still serves only U.S. clients. Polymarket’s Pushback Its main rival, Polymarket, has logged about $773 million in trades this month. While that trails Kalshi for now, Polymarket has unique advantages: as a crypto-native platform, it has carved out strong global demand and is working toward a formal U.S. relaunch via its acquisition of derivatives exchange QCEX. The two platforms now stand as the clear leaders of the sector, though they embody different philosophies — one regulated from the ground up, the other built around decentralization.
