Strategy purchased 1,229 Bitcoin last week for $108.8 million, filing details confirmed on Monday. The acquisition raised its total bitcoin holdings to 672,497 BTC, with an average purchase price of $74,997.

The company funded the purchase through the sale of class A common stock between December 22 and December 28. Strategy stated the average purchase price for the latest tranche stood at $88,568 per bitcoin. Shares of Strategy fell 1% in premarket trading on Monday, priced at $157 before market open.

Bitcoin price dropped to around $87,000 during the same period, continuing its downward trend since the early 2025 highs. Strategy said the share sale matched the acquisition cost of the BTC purchase dollar for dollar. The filing indicated a calculated deployment with no leverage involved in this transaction.

BTC Holdings Nearly Triple Since U.S. Election

Before the 2024 U.S. elections, Strategy held 252,220 BTC on its balance sheet. Since then, it has expanded its bitcoin holdings by nearly three times through regular market purchases.

This latest acquisition confirms Strategy’s ongoing strategy to accumulate bitcoin regardless of market sentiment. Michael Saylor has reiterated that Strategy views bitcoin as a long-term monetary asset, not a trade. “Volatility is opportunity,” he stated earlier this year during a quarterly shareholder address.

Despite increasing its BTC position, Strategy’s stock has declined 47% year-to-date. It started 2025 trading around $300 and climbed to nearly $500 before the market correction. Crypto market headwinds have impacted tech and blockchain-linked equities broadly.

2025 Bitcoin Yield Reaches 23.2% for Strategy

Strategy reported a 23.2% bitcoin yield in 2025 based on internal metrics tracking growth versus share dilution. The company explained that this metric includes both price appreciation and expansion through structured financial instruments.

Strategy continues to accumulate even as institutional interest in bitcoin weakens across exchange-traded products. The firm maintains its approach by financing BTC purchases through equity sales and structured offerings. Michael Saylor has consistently described this as a method to grow exposure without increasing debt.

The company has now spent $50.44 billion to acquire its 672,497 BTC position. This makes Strategy the largest corporate holder of bitcoin globally by a wide margin.

Strategy sees persistent accumulation as key while supply issuance slows after the halving. The latest filing reaffirms its continued accumulation during volatile conditions in the broader crypto market.
