Strategy Invests Another $18 Million in Bitcoin as MSTR Stock Climbs

Jakarta, Pintu News – Strategist Michael Saylor, formerly known as MicroStrategy, is back to buying more Bitcoin (BTC) to add to his Bitcoin reserves.

The company’s total BTC holdings now stand at 628,946 BTC, acquired at a total cost of $46.09 billion at an average price of $73,288 per Bitcoin.

Interestingly, this purchase is one of the smallest this year. The previous record for the smallest purchase was in March, when it was 130 BTC worth $10.7 million. This figure is also smaller than the 245 BTC purchase made in June.

According to documents filed with the SEC, the funds for this Bitcoin purchase came from the sale of STRF shares. The company sold 115,169 shares and collected net proceeds of $13.6 million.

Saylor himself had hinted at this purchase the day before in his trademark style on X, stating that profits would continue to flow as long as someone didn’t stop buying BTC – indicating that they had added to their Bitcoin holdings again.

This purchase comes just a week after Strategy made its largest acquisition of the year, 21,021 BTC for $2.46 billion. The company has also made a $4.2 billion STR offer and plans to use the net proceeds to buy more BTC in the future.

This increase comes after Bitcoin’s price rally over the weekend. According to a report by CoinGape, the price of BTC broke the $122,000 level this morning and is aiming for a new record high.

Due to the company’s large exposure to Bitcoin, MSTR stock movements have a strong positive correlation with BTC. So far this year, MSTR stock has gained more than 31%, even outperforming the performance of the largest crypto asset.

Interestingly, yesterday marked five years since Strategy adopted a Bitcoin-based business model. Over that period, MSTR stock has been the best performing large asset, recording an average annualized return of 100%.

Saylor himself joked that if they had bought Bitcoin earlier, the profits could have been greater. Even so, his company was a pioneer in adopting the BTC backup strategy, which a number of other companies are now starting to follow.

To date, Strategy has raised $46 billion through the issuance of Bitcoin-based stocks and credits. Its latest product is STRC stock, the BTC-based security with the largest initial public offering (IPO) this year, which raised over $2.5 billion.
