Michael Saylor’s Strategy, the world’s largest public Bitcoin holder, added more BTC to its balance as the price swung to new all-time highs before retreating last week.
Strategy acquired 430 Bitcoin (BTC) for $51.4 million during the week ending Sunday as BTC surged to all-time highs above $124,000 on Wednesday, only to dip to $115,000 on Sunday, according to a US Securities and Exchange Commission filing on Monday.
Strategy Added $51M in Bitcoin As Price Dip To $124K
A few hours after giving the X community hints on a potential Bitcoin buy, Michael Saylor, the founder and chairman of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), finally revealed that the firm has topped up its Bitcoin holdings once again.
According to the tweet shared by the Bitcoin advocate, Strategy has accumulated an additional 430 BTC in a move that suggests the company might be buying the dip as the broad crypto market turns red in a massive bloodbath.
The move, which is just one of Strategy’s regular mega purchases, has brought its total BTC holdings to a massive 629,376 BTC.
Strategy splashes $51.4 million on BTC again Saylor further emphasized that it had acquired the new BTC portion at an average price of $119,666 per BTC. As such, the new BTC purchase made by the company is worth a massive $51.4 million.
Following the new BTC purchase, the firm now boasts a massive Year-to-Date (YTD) gain of 25.1% in 2025. While it had only reported a YTD gain of 20.2% as of last month, the surge in its accumulated profits shows that the firm has continued to hit incredible wins on its BTC bets.
While Strategy is renowned for acquiring new BTC stashes in thousands of coins, the latest accumulation of 430 BTC made by the firm has sparked discussions across the market, as many begin to wonder if the firm is taking precautions against the ongoing market downtrend.
Strategy’s new 430 BTC purchase followed another “small” Bitcoin buy of just 155 BTC announced last week, marking a significant drop from multi-thousand purchases made in previous months.
The company bought as much as 31,466 BTC in three purchases from July 14 to Aug. 3, which marked a significant surge from a total 17,075 BTC purchased in June.
The acquisition was notably smaller than another Bitcoin buy by the Japanese investment company Metaplanet, which purchased 775 BTC for around $93 million at the average price of $120,006 per BTC.
Nonetheless, Strategy now boasts holding a mouthwatering 629,376 BTC, which costs a total of $46.15 billion at the point of accumulation. As such, Strategy’s total BTC holdings reflect an average acquisition cost of $73,320 per BTC.
With the broad crypto market experiencing a massive bloodbath over the past few days, investors are curious about the amount of losses suffered by the firm during the period.
However, reports on the firm’s portfolio performance suggest that the firm is still in massive profits regardless of the short-term losses suffered, all thanks to its commitment to the aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy which it kickstarted in 2020.
