Michael Saylor’s American-based Bitcoin treasury firm, Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), has resumed its aggressive Bitcoin acquisition. Today, the company officially announced that it has invested $18 million to purchase an additional 155 BTC.

Strategy Bolsters BTC Treasury by $18M

The latest acquisition was executed at an average price of approximately $116,401 per coin, as confirmed by company filings. The move further cements its position as the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, with its total holdings now sitting at 628,946 BTC. Notably, the buy comes after a one-week pause, which ended a 3-week purchase streak.

The acquisition coincides with the firm’s celebration of five years since its first Bitcoin purchase. Strategy has grown its treasury to rival even national reserves as it now holds nearly 3% of the asset’s circulating supply, which is valued at over $75 billion. Notably, the firm’s accumulation spree is influencing both investor sentiment and the broader crypto market.

For example, following the announcement, Strategy’s stock MSTR jumped nearly 5%, as investor confidence remains connected with its crypto positioning. Interestingly, the company shares have gained over 3000% since the firm’s first acquisition of BTC in August 2020. On the other hand, BTC itself has achieved over 870% within the same period.

Nonetheless, the move ranks second in the list of its smallest purchases in 2025 and its lowest in Q2 2025.  It follows the March 10–16 buy of 130 BTC for $10.7 million using proceeds from its STRK preferred-stock ATM program. The third-smallest occurred in the week of June 16–22 with the purchase of 245 BTC for $26 million.

Other Firms Go Bitcoin Shopping

Capital B has recently confirmed the acquisition of 126 BTC for roughly $14.4 million, boosting its total holdings to 2,201 BTC. The firm also reported a 1,519.5% year-to-date BTC yield, showing off the returns it has reaped from its crypto allocation so far in 2025. The latest purchase hints at its commitment to expanding its bitcoin position.

Meanwhile, Sequans also disclosed the purchase of an additional 13 BTC for about $1.5 million at an average price of approximately $117,012 per coin. Today, the company currently holds 3,171 BTC, acquired for a total of $370 million at an average purchase price of $116,709. The firm’s accumulation strategy is aimed at building long-term exposure to price volatility.
