Bullish Signal: Strategic Whale Scoops Up 4,225 Bitcoin – Is This the Start of a New Rally?
Crypto whales are making moves again—and this one’s a doozy. A single strategy just snapped up 4,225 BTC, signaling confidence (or at least a high-stakes gamble) in Bitcoin’s next leg up. Here’s why it matters.
Whale Watch: The $200M Bet
Forget nibbling at the edges—this is a full-blown feast. The purchase, worth roughly $200M at current prices, screams institutional-grade conviction. Or maybe just a hedge fund manager’s midlife crisis. Either way, it’s liquidity injection with a side of drama.
Timing the Market—or Ignoring It?
No one rings a bell at the bottom, but someone’s waving a flare gun. The buy comes amid mixed signals: ETF inflows one day, regulatory saber-rattling the next. Classic crypto whiplash.
Closer: The Only ‘Strategy’ That Matters
In finance, ‘strategic’ often means ‘we’ll explain the losses later.’ But in crypto? Sometimes a big buy is just that—a bet the orange coin still has legs. Even if those legs occasionally trip over macro headlines.

The weekly purchase was anticipated after the executive chairman Michael Saylor hinted at more buying to come.
The latest share placement and addition to the treasury was announced on a day of BTC records, where the coin briefly ROSE as high as $123,000.
The effect of Strategy on the price of BTC is becoming more subdued, as more corporate players are joining with regular or sporadic purchases. This time, Strategy’s announcement arrived a few hours after Metaplanet announced the addition of 797 BTC to its treasury.
Strategy motivates other buyers
Other companies have also drawn attention to their holdings and shares today. The Blockchain Group added another 29 BTC to its portfolio, in its usual approach of smaller acquisitions with no fixed schedule.
DigitalX added another 109 BTC at $118,010 per coin, demonstrating the readiness to buy even at the new peak prices.
KULR Tech joined the list of companies holding over 1,000 BTC after its latest purchase of 90 BTC.
The British company TAO Alpha added 28 BTC, its treasury-initiating purchase. The company’s initial goal is to add 100 BTC.
Treasury companies are still buying almost daily, with new ones starting with small additions. Despite the warnings, adding BTC is seen as a store of value, showing that a reserve playbook for bitcoin is becoming even more widely accepted.
MSTR charts a new yearly peak
MSTR shares have completely recovered from the slump in Q2, despite warnings of dilution. The recent BTC rally was reflected by MSTR, which rose to a peak for 2025.
MSTR expanded to $434.58, rising over 44% for the year to date. In the short term, MSTR is expected to rally to over $450 and continue to its previous peak above $540.
The price moves of MSTR are seen as a proxy for BTC, with the expectation for a hike to $130,000. However, BTC price moves also boost demand for MSTR, which varies on a weekly basis. The recent market excitement and records boosted demand for all of Strategy’s share types.
STRK traded at $122.50, NEAR its peak for 2025. STRF was at $122.38, while the newest addition, STRD reached $95, again near its highest price for the year to date. The latest stock and crypto price moves continue to demonstrate the feedback loop that Strategy has created.
