Michael Saylor’s Strategy, the world’s largest public Bitcoin holder, blasted past 700,000 BTC in holdings with its latest large-scale purchase.
Strategy bought 22,305 Bitcoin (BTC) for $2.13 billion last week, according to a US Securities and Exchange Commission filing on Monday.
The purchases were made at an average price of $95,284 per BTC, with Bitcoin briefly rising past $97,000 on Wednesday, according to CoinGecko data.
The acquisition brought Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings to 709,715 BTC, purchased for about $53.92 billion at an average price of $75,979 per coin.
Strategy’s biggest Bitcoin buy since February 2025
Strategy’s latest Bitcoin acquisition marks a sharp acceleration in buying pace compared with most of 2025, and is the company’s largest purchase since February last year, when it bought 20,356 BTC for around $2 billion.
The company announced a 13,627 BTC ($1.3 billion) purchase on Jan. 12, which had been its largest Bitcoin acquisition since July last year.
The purchase came amid a slight uptick in Strategy shares (MSTR), with the stock surging past $185 on Wednesday, coinciding with Bitcoin’s multi-month high of above $97,000, according to TradingView data.
The surge also followed Morgan Stanley Capital International’s (MSCI) decision not to exclude digital treasury companies from its market index in early January.
In acquiring 709,715 BTC, Strategy now holds about 3.37% of the total 21 million BTC supply, and 3.55% of the 19.98 million BTC currently in circulation, according to data from Blockchain.com.
The accelerated buying by Strategy comes after a period of uncertainty for digital asset treasuries (DATs) following a summer 2025 rally that many described as a bubble.

James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, said the market is now set to re-evaluate which DATs will survive by genuinely fitting the accumulation model.
“The future of DATs lies in returning to fundamentals: disciplined treasury management, credible business models, and realistic expectations about the role of digital assets on corporate balance sheets,” he said in a December 2025 update.
