Strategy, known as the largest public holder of Bitcoin, has made its smallest cryptocurrency purchase to date. This is a significant moment for the company and the entire market.
Recent Bitcoin Purchase
Earlier today, Strategy announced the purchase of 130 Bitcoin (BTC) for $10.7 million, which means an average market price of $82,981 per Bitcoin. This marks the smallest purchase in the company's history, which typically buys large volumes of BTC. The funds were secured through the STRK ATM program, aimed at raising up to $21 billion for further investment operations.
Company's Bitcoin Acquisition History
Prior to this purchase, the smallest volume of BTC acquired by the company was 169 Bitcoin in August 2024. In total, Strategy now holds 499,226 BTC, having spent $33.1 billion to acquire them. The average cost per Bitcoin for the company stands at $66,360. It is now just 774 Bitcoins away from reaching the significant milestone of 500,000 BTC.
Future Plans and Current State
So far in 2025, Strategy has purchased 51,656 BTC through seven different transactions. The current acquisition occurred during a drop in BTC price below $80,000. Despite this, the volume of Bitcoin bought was lower than expected. According to the company’s website, its current Bitcoin yield is 6.9%, significantly below the 15% goal set for 2025.
Strategy continues to be an active player in the Bitcoin market, though the pace of cryptocurrency acquisitions is slowing. This may indicate changes in the company’s strategy or a response to current market conditions.
