Big Money Bets Big Again: Strategy Scoops Up 4,225 BTC ($472M) in Bold Bitcoin Move

Wall Street's crypto playbook just got a bullish rewrite.

After months of sideways action, a major institutional player has fired up the Bitcoin buying machine—snagging 4,225 coins at a cool $472 million. This isn't pocket change, even for the suits.

Why now? The timing reeks of either genius or desperation. With regulators still playing whack-a-mole with crypto ETFs and the Fed's printer gone cold, someone's clearly betting the farm on digital gold's next act.

One thing's certain: when the whales move, the market notices. Retail traders might want to strap in—or at least check their portfolios before the next volatility tsunami hits.

(And let's be real—nothing says 'confidence' like dropping half a billion on an asset class your compliance team still doesn't understand.)

In brief

• Strategy bought 4,225 BTC at an average price of $111,827 between July 7 and 13.
• The company now holds 601,550 BTC, valued at over $72 billion.
• Michael Saylor continues to assert on X that bitcoin will outperform all other existing assets.
• Metaplanet and KULR also strengthen their BTC reserves, validating the current institutional momentum.

Accumulation, timing, and conviction: Strategy’s methodical comeback

While bitcoin flirted with $123,000 – $120,000 early in the morning, Strategy announced it had acquired, at an average price of $111,827. A discreet but strategic maneuver made between July 7 and 13. The result:in crypto.

Michael Saylor left nothing to chance. This comeback comes after a brief pause of a few days, time to declareand to prepare a sale of MSTR shares worth $4.2 billion.

Meanwhile, others are keeping pace:; the American firm KULR announced it acquired an additional 90 BTC, for a total of 1,021 BTC. The signal is clear: the bitcoin rally attracts DEEP pockets.

Saylor, true to himself, likes to repeat what he already stated in a 2021 podcast, hosted by Lauren Chen. When she asks if he plans to sell some of his bitcoins in case of a market top, he responds without hesitation:

It is the asset technically superior to the dollar, the euro, a stock index, gold, silver, everything you can imagine buying. If you own the superior asset, it will go up forever, Laura.

From pioneer to beacon: when Strategy becomes the compass of the Bitcoin market

It is no longer a startup trying its luck. It is a machine running with confidence. Since, Strategy has injected $42.87 billion into bitcoin, at. At the time, many saw it as a risk.

Today, it isheld by any company in the world.

Meanwhile, the rules of the game have changed. Spot Bitcoin ETFs have made institutional investment in BTC smoother, more legitimate. Strategy’sno longer shock. They reassure.. Yet one point remains troubling: Wei-Ming Shao, vice president of Strategy, sold 62,500 MSTR shares for $25.7 million just before this latest acquisition.

But the impact is there. With a tweet, Saylor pushes the market. With a purchase, he strengthens an ATH. And with every cycle, he demonstrates that Strategy does not drift blindly.

A few figures that say it all:

• Strategy holds 601,550 BTC, worth more than $72 billion;
• The latest purchase concerns 4,225 BTC, at $111,827 each;
• Strategy’s YTD BTC performance is +88,062 BTC, or $10.9 billion;
• The historical average purchase price remains $71,268, far below the current level;
• Other companies like Metaplanet and KULR also strengthen their BTC exposure.

Michael Saylor doesn’t throw hundreds of millions away. He has a plan, and he has followed it since 2020. His goal? A world where one bitcoin will be worth 3 million dollars. He is convinced. And he bets, again and again, to get there.
