Strategy buys 1,955 Bitcoin, grows holdings to 638 BTC
Michael Saylor’s Strategy has added to its already massive Bitcoin trove, purchasing 1,955 BTC for approximately $217.4 million at an average price of $111,196 per coin.
According to a press release, the acquisition brings the company’s total holdings to 638,460 BTC, acquired for about $47.2 billion at an average cost of $73,880 per BTC.
The purchase underscores Strategy’s continued commitment to Bitcoin accumulation, even after the company was passed over for inclusion in the S&P 500 index last week. Despite meeting all eligibility requirements, the committee instead chose Robinhood, AppLovin, and Emcor, a decision that weighed on Strategy’s shares.Key takeaways
- Fresh purchase: Strategy acquired 1,955 BTC for $217M, lifting total holdings to 638,460 BTC.
- Aggressive accumulation: The company added 7,714 BTC in August and has been buying for six consecutive weeks.
- Funding model: Purchases were financed mainly through equity sales, raising over $217M from share offerings.
- Index exclusion: Despite meeting eligibility requirements, Strategy was not included in the S&P 500, fueling debate.
Funding and accumulation strategy
The latest purchase was funded primarily through equity sales, with Strategy raising $200.5 million from the sale of 591,606 MSTR shares, plus $11.6 million from STRF and $5.2 million from STRK share sales. This marks the company’s sixth consecutive weekly Bitcoin purchase, following last week’s acquisition of 4,048 BTC for $444 million.

In August alone, Strategy added about 7,714 BTC, reflecting an aggressive accumulation pace. Year-to-date, the company’s Bitcoin yield has reached 25.8%, positioning it as one of the largest corporate holders of the cryptocurrency — now controlling more than 3% of Bitcoin’s total supply.
Market context and outlook
The announcement came as Saylor teased the move on X (formerly Twitter), posting a screenshot of the company’s Bitcoin portfolio tracker with the caption “Needs More Orange.” His relentless strategy highlights a long-term bet on Bitcoin as a reserve asset, even amid price volatility.
Analysts note that while Strategy’s accumulation bolsters its profile among Bitcoin advocates, the concentration also raises questions about risk exposure and stock volatility.
With Bitcoin currently trading around $110,000, attention will turn to whether the Federal Reserve’s next policy decision and broader macro conditions support further upside. For Strategy, the focus remains clear: expand its Bitcoin treasury regardless of index recognition.
We reported earlier that Strategy stock drops 8% as Bitcoin declines and issuance rules shift.
