Strategy, the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin in the world, has completed another major Bitcoin acquisition this week. The company used its now-familiar financing playbook, raising fresh capital through the sale of securities rather than debt or asset liquidation. On Monday, Executive Chairman Michael Saylor announced that Strategy had acquired 10,645 BTC between December 8 and 14 for approximately $980.3 million.
The announcement, posted on X and supported by a Form 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, provided a clear breakdown of how the purchase was funded. Strategy remains the largest public holder of Bitcoin.
Strategy funded its recent buy through at-the-market sales of MSTR shares and different types of preferred stock. It now holds a total of 671,268 BTC, showing consistent growth in its reserves. The firm’s latest purchase is part of a series of large purchases despite changing market conditions.
Overall, the company has spent $50.33 billion on all its Bitcoin purchases, with an average acquisition price of $74,972. The year-to-date yield is 24.9%, indicating growth in Bitcoin held per share. The company maintains transparency through regular SEC filings and public disclosures.
The bitcoin-savvy company avoids traditional debt and prefers equity instruments, thereby offering greater flexibility. Recent stock issuances helped it quickly deploy capital without taking on leverage or selling any existing Bitcoin. The firm combines its Bitcoin strategy with its analytics software business and continues to purchase Bitcoin regardless of short-term price changes.
The apex coin has experienced strong volatility recently, dipping below $89,000, which, to some, raises fears, while to others, it presents an ample opportunity to buy. However, no other company matches Strategy’s level of commitment or volume of Bitcoin acquisition. Its position is likely to set new standards in treasury management.
Meanwhile, more companies are investing in cryptocurrency, prompting increased regulatory scrutiny. Index providers are trying to decide how to classify companies that hold significant amounts of Bitcoin and are also concerned about their energy use. Despite this, Strategy shares Bitcoin’s economic benefits in its communications and notes that future plans will depend on market conditions.
