Cementing its position as the world’s largest corporate bitcoin (BTC) holder, American business intelligence firm Strategy has announced another strategic buy. As revealed by the company’s founder and executive chairman, Michael Saylor, the firm has boosted its crypto bag by 13,390 units of the world’s leading crypto, BTC.

Notably, Strategy has gone BTC shopping about 14 times in 2025, and its just-concluded acquisition marks its fourth-largest purchase of the year.

$1.34 Billion Well Spent

According to Saylor, the company spent approximately $1.34 billion to purchase the crypto. Spreading the purchase over five business days, it arrived at an average price of $99,856 per BTC.

Since 2020, the firm has spent about $39.41 billion on BTC acquisition and achieved an all-time purchase price of $69,287 per bitcoin. It holds 568,840 BTC, 2.7% of the total bitcoin supply.

Considering the $105,000 price range, which BTC reclaimed on Monday, Strategy’s holdings are worth about $59.7 billion. The company earns $20.3 billion in realized profits. Thus, Strategy sits as the first and most profitable corporate BTC holder.

Meanwhile, it has achieved a BTC Yield of 15.5% YTD 2025.

Metaplanet Joins Purchase Streak

Japanese publicly traded firm Metaplanet has not given up on its Bitcoin confidence. Since it adopted BTC as a primary reserve asset in 2024, it has joined Strategy in periodically acquiring the crypto to boost its stash and increase its chances of profiting from a market pump.

On Monday, the company revealed a purchase of 1,241 BTC for $126.7 million, its highest purchase in history. Thus, its total holdings are 6,796 BTC, valued at approximately $608 million.

Remarkably, Metaplsnet’s latest purchase places it ahead of El Salvador, the world’s first national bitcoin holder, by 624 units of the leading crypto. El Salvador holds only 6,172 BTC and has not stopped buying at least 1 BTC daily.

BTC Touches $105,000

The crypto market has gone bullish following a recent change in U.S. and China import tariffs. Both countries reduced the levy to 30% and 10%, respectively, favoring crypto investors who speedily acquired large chunks of BTC and other coins after the announcement.

BTC surged to $105,800 some minutes after the update, and other crypto assets followed. At press time, the apex coin has settled to $104,000 according to live price data from CryptocurrenciesToWatch.
