Strategy, an American-based business intelligence firm and the world’s leading institutional bitcoin (BTC) investor, has hit the market with another massive purchase this week.

According to a recent social media post by the company’s crypto-enthusiastic chairman, Michael Saylor, Strategy purchased 8,178 BTC within the last business week, boosting its total holdings to nearly 650,000 BTC.

Notably, this week’s purchase marks a significant increase in comparison to all of Strategy’s purchases since August. The last time Saylor’s company announced such a massive BTC acquisition was in July, when it spent over $2.4 billion to buy 21,021 bitcoin amid a bullish market.

Strategy Raises $835M for BTC Shopping

To fund its largest Q4 acquisition to date, Strategy embarked on a multi-million-dollar fundraising project via its new 10% Series A Perpetual Stream Preferred Stock (STRE). This yielded about $715 million. In addition, investors bought about $136.1 million worth of its STRK and STRC stock.

Notably, this move demonstrates the company’s confidence in the leading cryptocurrency at a time when a few institutional investors are offloading their holdings and others are avoiding the crypto market.

Massive BTC Acquisition

For its latest BTC shopping, Strategy spent $835.6 million to scoop up 8,178 BTC. Remarkably, the crypto market has been down for the past few weeks; thus, Strategy scooped up the massive apex coin at approximately $102,171 per BTC. This marks its lowest purchase price since May 2025, when BTC was still trading below the $100,000 mark.

Concluding the shopping, Strategy has achieved a BTC Yield of 27.8% year-to-date as of 2025. Moreover, the firm now holds 649,870 BTC acquired for $48.37 billion over a five-year period. Its average purchase price is still at around $74,433 per bitcoin, way below the six-figure mark.

Remarkably, Strategy’s unshaking confidence in BTC has attracted many pro-crypto investors to purchase its stocks. This includes the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB). It began acquiring MSTR shares a few months ago and currently holds approximately 393,322 shares, worth around $80 million at the time of writing.
