Strategy, led by Michael Saylor, has just announced the acquisition of 3,459 new bitcoins for a total of $285.8 million. This operation was carried out at an average price of $82,618 per BTC, which is close to the historical highs of the digital asset. Despite market volatility, Strategy continues its methodical accumulation policy, displaying unwavering confidence in the long-term potential of Bitcoin.
+3,459 BTC: An Unwavering Accumulation Strategy for Saylor
The financing for this operation was done through the sale of common shares, following the same method used in previous BTC acquisitions by the company. Michael Saylor continues his strategy of converting the company’s capital into bitcoins, even if it means slightly diluting the ownership, convinced that the value of BTC will far surpass any potential loss from this dilution.
531,644 BTC for Strategy at an Average Price of $67,556
With this new acquisition, Strategy now holds 531,644 BTC, which, at current prices, represents over $44.7 billion in digital assets and 2.53% of the total Bitcoin supply. The average acquisition cost is $67,556 per bitcoin, still significantly lower than the current price of over $84,000, but at times concerning. This difference gives Strategy a latent profit of several billion dollars, further strengthening its position as the undisputed institutional leader in BTC.
Not surprisingly, the MSTR stock reacted positively to this announcement. The stock recorded a 1% increase in premarket trading, following the positive trend in the bitcoin market. For investors, MSTR has become an increasingly popular proxy for gaining exposure to BTC, especially for those who do not wish to go through crypto platforms or ETFs.
Michael Saylor remains true to his vision: bitcoin is, in his opinion, the best reserve asset ever designed. By massively transforming Strategy’s treasury into BTC, he is turning a traditional technology company into a hybrid investment vehicle, at the intersection of traditional finance and the digital economy. This latest acquisition is part of a total break with traditional treasury management models and strengthens the narrative of bitcoin as a global strategic asset.
