Institutional Whale Gobbles Up 1,045 BTC in $110 Million Power Play

Another day, another nine-figure bet on Bitcoin—because traditional finance wasn't volatile enough already. A deep-pocketed strategy just deployed capital equivalent to a small nation's GDP into the OG cryptocurrency.

The Numbers Don't Lie (But Wall Street Might)

At current prices, that $110 million haul lands precisely 1,045 BTC—proving even institutional players now treat Bitcoin like a balance sheet staple rather than a casino chip. The move screams long-term conviction, though we'll see how they handle the next 20% dip.

Crypto Winter? More Like Institutional Land Grab

While retail investors panic-sell memecoins, smart money keeps accumulating real assets. This whale's nine-digit buy-in follows a clear pattern: Bitcoin is becoming the new gold—if gold had 24/7 trading and Elon Musk tweets.

One thing's certain: when the suits start buying Bitcoin by the hundreds of millions, the 'tulip bubble' narrative starts looking... well, bankrupt.

In brief

• Strategy acquired 1,045 bitcoins this week, bringing its total reserve to 582,000 BTC.
• The purchase cost 110.2 million dollars, at an average price of 105,426 dollars.

MicroStrategy’s Relentless Pace, a Bitcoin Accumulating Machine

One more week, one more batch of bitcoin. It has now beenthat Michael Saylor’s Strategy injects tens of millions into the king asset. With these, acquired at an, the company now holds. An astronomical amount, obtained for about 40.8 billion dollars, at an average cost of 70,086 dollars per bitcoin.

Nothing is left to chance. Everything is documented, especially in filings with the SEC. On June 9, a new statement formalized this purchase. For Michael Saylor:

Bitcoin is our long-term treasury strategy.

And this strategy seems more tenacious than ever.

Theis also closely watched: +17.1% since January 2025. A performance that reinforces the company’s faith in bitcoin. On the market, the signal is clear: Strategy is not selling, it is accumulating.

Turning Shares into Bitcoin: A Well-Refined Strategy

This new feat WOULD not have been possible without a clever setup.by issuing 11.76 million STRF preferred shares at 85 dollars each. A capital dilution accepted, for a focus on a single asset: bitcoin.

• 1,045 bitcoins added this week;
• ~62.5 billion dollars current portfolio value;
• 582,000 BTC held in total;
• 17.1% return since the beginning of the year;
• 40.8 billion dollars invested cumulatively.

Saylor’s method is formidable:, week after week, with almost military regularity. “By diluting our capital, we concentrate our wealth“, he summarizes. This phrase has now become a mantra.

Some observers question the limits of this strategy. Others see it as a form of reinventing corporate capitalism, version 3.0. What is certain: Strategy has not said its last word. If states continue to tolerate — or even indirectly support — this frenzy of accumulation, Bitcoin could reach 500,000 dollars each. This is one of the hypotheses raised by some analysts, who analyze the possible domino effect. The queen of cryptos is not done making headlines.
