Institutional Whale Gobbles Up Bitcoin: Is This the Start of the Next Bull Run?

Wall Street's latest crypto play just sent shockwaves through the market.

### The Big Buy That Broke Traders' Brains

A single strategy just executed what appears to be one of the largest single Bitcoin purchases of 2025—timed suspiciously before the expected ETF approval window. Market makers scrambled as the order book got vacuumed up faster than a DeFi hack drains liquidity pools.

### Why This Move Stinks of Institutional FOMO

The purchase size suggests either a mega-wealthy family office or yet another hedge fund trying to frontrun the SEC. Either way, it's the clearest signal yet that 'smart money' expects serious price action—though we've seen this movie before with the 2021 corporate Bitcoin fad.

### The Ironic Twist No One's Talking About

This whale-sized bet comes exactly as retail traders are capitulating—proving once again that the real money gets made when mom-and-pop investors panic sell to 'professional' bag holders.

One thing's certain: when suits start buying crypto in bulk, it's either the beginning of something huge... or the final warning before the musical chairs stop. Place your bets.

During last week’s downturn, it was rumored that Strategy had sold tens of thousands of BTC, a claim that was later dismissed by Michael Saylor. In fact, he announced a surprising purchase for the new week, leading to expectations of an extraordinary buy on Monday.

Bitcoin Developments Unfold

For a long time, Strategy was making very limited purchases, typically below a thousand BTC. However, last week’s announcement indicated that due to the downturn, we could see a much larger purchase in the new week, and this expectation came true. The company declared a purchase amounting to $835 million, which is nearly half of the ETF outflows that occurred last week.

The purchases were made at an average cost of $102,171 per BTC, meaning they occurred earlier in the week before the downturn intensified. According to a notification to the SEC, $836.6 million was spent, acquiring a total of 8,178 BTC.

Impressive Bitcoin Reserves

Since 2025, the company’s BTC revenue has reached 27.8%. As of yesterday, the company’s total BTC reserves have reached 649,870. The average cost of all acquisitions is approximately $74,433, with total cash spent amounting to $48.37 billion. The current value of these assets is significantly higher today.

Despite these developments, BTC seemed indifferent to the news, stabilizing at $93,000 and struggling to maintain the $95,000 mark.
