In a symbolic move marking its fifth anniversary of relentless Bitcoin accumulation, Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) has added another 155 BTC to its treasury—worth $18 million—as the cryptocurrency flirts with all-time highs near $120,000. Michael Saylor’s firm, now the world’s largest publicly traded BTC holder, reaffirms its "buy-and-hold-forever" ethos despite market euphoria. Here’s why this milestone matters.
Why Did Strategy’s Latest Bitcoin Purchase Turn Heads?
At first glance, the 155 BTC acquisition seems modest compared to Strategy’s typical multi-thousand coin splurges. But timing is everything: the buy occurred as bitcoin surged from $114,000 to $122,000 this week, inches away from its 2025 peak. According to SEC filings, the average purchase price was $116,401 per BTC—a strategic entry considering historical volatility.
"This isn’t about dollar-cost averaging anymore—it’s about proving a point," remarked BTCC analyst Mark Chen. "Saylor could’ve waited for a dip, but buying NEAR ATHs sends a message: price is irrelevant when you believe in Bitcoin’s long-term scarcity."
Five Years, 628,946 BTC: The Numbers Behind the Strategy
Since August 11, 2020, when Strategy made its inaugural 21,454 BTC purchase ($250M), the company has:
- Spent $46.1 billion accumulating BTC at an average price of $73,288
- Seen its holdings appreciate by ~960% (from $11,400 to $120,000 per BTC)
- Outperformed gold, S&P 500, and even most crypto-native funds during this period
TradingView charts show how Strategy’s buying spree often preceded major BTC rallies, creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. "They’ve essentially become a Bitcoin ETF before ETFs existed," joked Nic Puckrin of Coin Bureau on X.
Is "Infinite Accumulation" Still Sustainable?
Saylor’s infamous June 2025 prediction—that BTC could hit $21 million in 21 years—faces skepticism. But the math intrigues:
| Scenario | BTC Price Needed for Strategy to Break Even |
|---|---|
| Current Holdings (628,946 BTC) | $73,288 (already achieved) |
| Including Borrowed Funds | ~$85,000 (estimated) |
"They’ve hedged debt with BTC collateral, so breakeven isn’t straightforward," explains financial analyst Lena Kuo. "But at current prices, their equity cushion is thicker than a Bitcoin whitepaper."
The Ripple Effect on Institutional Adoption
Strategy’s anniversary purchase—though small—reignited debates about corporate BTC strategies:
- Tesla resumed Bitcoin transactions in Q2 2025 after a 3-year pause
- Block Inc. now allocates 10% of cash reserves to BTC
- Even Saudi Aramco reportedly holds BTC via offshore vehicles
"Saylor turned Bitcoin into a C-suite status symbol," notes Bloomberg’s crypto Outlook report. "Now every CFO gets asked ‘Why don’t we do a MicroStrategy?’ at shareholder meetings."
What’s Next for Bitcoin’s Most Bullish Company?
With BTC supply dwindling post-halving and spot ETFs hoarding coins, Strategy faces stiffer competition. Their options:
- Leverage Up: Issue more convertible bonds (like 2024’s $800M offering)
- Mine It: Rumors swirl about Strategy launching mining operations
- HODL Harder: Simply wait—their average hold period is now 2.7 years
"I’d bet my Satoshis they’re planning something big for the 2028 halving," speculates crypto podcaster Raj Patel. "Maybe a Bitcoin-denominated dividend?"

Your Bitcoin Strategy Questions Answered
How much Bitcoin does Strategy own?
As of August 2025, Strategy holds 628,946 BTC acquired for $46.1 billion—about 3% of Bitcoin’s total supply.
Why buy Bitcoin at all-time highs?
Saylor argues that BTC’s long-term appreciation dwarfs short-term volatility. "All highs become lows in hindsight," he tweeted last week.
Could this strategy backfire?
If BTC enters a prolonged bear market, Strategy’s debt-heavy approach could face liquidity crunches. But their lowest-cost BTC was bought at $11,400—a 10x buffer even at current prices.
