Strategy, currently holding the largest Bitcoin reserve among corporations, has boosted its digital asset holdings by acquiring an additional 155 BTC at a total cost of $18 million.
The purchase, revealed on August 11th, was executed at an average price point of $116,401 per Bitcoin. This move reflects a 25% increase in value year-to-date on the company’s overall Bitcoin investment for the year 2025.
It’s worth noting that this recent buy is the second-smallest for Strategy this year, only exceeding the 130 BTC purchase made back in March.
Official filings indicate that the firm financed the August purchase using proceeds from at-the-market sales of 115,169 shares of its Strife (STRF) stock. The company still maintains authorization for issuing shares valued at over $47.7 billion, which offers substantial flexibility for further Bitcoin acquisitions in the future.
Following this latest investment, Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings now reach 628,946 BTC. These were acquired at an aggregate price of $46.09 billion, translating to an average purchase price of $73,288 per Bitcoin.
With Bitcoin’s current market value hovering around $120,230, Strategy’s Bitcoin portfolio is now valued at approximately $75.6 billion, representing a gain of 63.5% and nearly $29 billion above the initial cost basis.
Strategy Celebrates 5 Years of Bitcoin Investments
This recent acquisition aligns with the five-year milestone since Strategy began its journey with Bitcoin.
Exactly five years prior, on August 11, 2020, the company, then known as MicroStrategy, made its initial Bitcoin investment, purchasing 21,454 BTC for $250 million at an average of $11,652.84 each.
Since then, Bitcoin has become Strategy’s primary treasury reserve asset. The company has successfully raised $46 billion through equity and credit offerings backed by BTC. This strategic decision has resulted in an impressive 100% annual return rate, surpassing the performance of every stock listed in the S&P 500 index during the same timeframe.
Over the past five years, under the leadership of Michael Saylor, the company’s market capitalization has dramatically increased from $1.2 billion to a staggering $118 billion.
The company’s approach has prompted similar adoption strategies globally, exemplified by companies such as Japan’s Metaplanet.
Simon Gerovich, CEO of Metaplanet, acknowledged Strategy’s pivotal role within the industry, commending Saylor and MicroStrategy for their sustained positive influence on corporate Bitcoin adoption initiatives worldwide.
He remarked:
“[They] acted with courage and conviction when it was far from easy. Today many follow the same path, but back then it took belief in the vision and the will to lead. Together with Strategy, we have inspired a wave of Bitcoin treasury companies, proving Bitcoin can transform a balance sheet and positively impact millions.”
