Strategy Acquires 7,633 BTC, Reinforces its Position as Largest Institutional Bitcoin Holder
Strategy (formerly known as MicroStrategy) has resumed its bitcoin purchases after pausing last week. The company, led by Michael Saylor, acquired an additional 7,633 BTC for a total of $742.4 million, bringing its reserves to 478,740 BTC.
The announcement was made by Saylor on X, confirming that the purchase was made at an average price of $97,255 per bitcoin, raising the company’s overall acquisition average to $65,033 per BTC.
“MSTR has acquired 7,633 BTC for ~$742.4 million at ~$97,255 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 4.1% YTD 2025. As of 2/09/2025, @Strategy holds 478,740 $BTC acquired for ~$31.1 billion at ~$65,033 per bitcoin.” – Michael Saylor
A Strategic Pause Before a Strong Comeback
Last week, Strategy did not make any purchases, likely due to the blackout period associated with the release of its financial results. On February 6th, the company reported a net loss of $3.03 per share in the fourth quarter, a significant contrast to the $0.50 per share profit recorded a year earlier.
Despite these mixed results, the BTC accumulation strategy remains unchanged. The funds for this new purchase came from the sale of shares under a sales agreement and the issuance of perpetual preferred shares of Strike (STRK), as detailed in the company’s 8-K filing.
Michael Saylor Persists and Confirms
True to form, Michael Saylor once again teased the announcement before making it official. On Sunday, he posted a cryptic message on X: “Death to the blue lines. Long live the green dots.” along with the Saylor Tracker chart. This is a recurring reference to his maximalist vision of bitcoin, which stands in opposition to the bearish trends of traditional markets.
An Unprecedented Accumulation
With 478,740 BTC in reserves, Strategy is now more than ever the largest institutional holder of bitcoin. Its ongoing commitment to accumulating the digital asset shows that the company remains convinced of the long-term bullish potential of BTC, despite the turbulence in financial markets.
