Filing details confirmed on Monday that Strategy purchased 1,229 bitcoins last week for $108.8 million. This acquisition lifted its total bitcoin holdings to 672,497 BTC, with an overall average purchase price of $74,997.

Between December 22 and December 28, the company sold Class A common stock to finance the purchase. Strategy noted the average price per bitcoin in this latest tranche was $88,568. On Monday, Strategy’s shares dropped 1% in premarket trading, priced at $157 before the market opened.

Bitcoin fell to around $87,000 during the same period, continuing its downward trend since the early 2025 highs. Strategy stated the share sale proceeds exactly matched the cost of the BTC purchase. The filing indicated this was a deliberate deployment with no leverage involved in the transaction.

BTC Holdings Have Almost Tripled Since the U.S. Election

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

This latest acquisition underscores Strategy’s ongoing approach to accumulating bitcoin regardless of market sentiment. Michael Saylor has repeatedly emphasized that Strategy views bitcoin as a long-term monetary asset, not a short-term 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 broadly impacted tech and blockchain-linked equities.

Strategy’s 2025 Bitcoin Yield Hits 23.2%

Strategy reported a 23.2% bitcoin yield in 2025 based on internal metrics tracking growth versus share dilution. The company explained 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. It 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.
