Michael Saylor, co-founder of Strategy, announced a new Bitcoin purchase that will be the third in August 2025. Despite market volatility, his strategy remains unchanged.
Third Bitcoin Purchase
On August 17, 2025, Michael Saylor announced the third Bitcoin purchase this month. In this transaction, Strategy acquired 430 BTC for $51.4 million, increasing its total reserves to 629,376 BTC, equivalent to over $72 billion.
Modest Acquisition Pace
This month's acquisition pace appears more modest compared to previous periods. A total of 585 BTC was acquired in two transactions, while the company previously made bulk purchases of thousands of Bitcoins.
Impact on Prices and Stock Stability
The current purchasing strategy does not significantly affect Bitcoin's price due to the use of over-the-counter trading arrangements. However, the company's stock fell to $325, the lowest level since April. This raises questions among investors about whether to believe in the strategy's potential or fear its future implications.
Despite various criticisms and market fluctuations, Michael Saylor remains committed to his Bitcoin accumulation strategy. Strategy continues to hold the leading position among institutional holders, underlining Bitcoin's significance as a reserve asset.
