Crypto Whale Strategy Doubles Down: $60B Bitcoin Bet Expands with 245 BTC Purchase at $105.9K
Another day, another nine-figure Bitcoin bet—because apparently traditional finance wasn't volatile enough.
The whale move: A single strategy just added 245 BTC to its already monstrous $60 billion position. Price tag? A cool $105,900 per coin. Because when you're playing with institutional money, what's another $26 million between friends?
Why it matters: This isn't just another 'number go up' story. That purchase price sits 15% below last month's ATH—someone's buying the dip with the confidence of a VC fund burning through LP capital.
The cynical take: Wall Street still can't decide if crypto is digital gold or a degenerate casino. Meanwhile, the smart money keeps stacking sats—using algorithms instead of diamond hands emojis.
How Strategy’s Bitcoin treasury playbook went global
Strategy’s relentless Bitcoin accumulation reflects a broader philosophical shift inside the company. In the view of its executives, BTC offers long-term monetary integrity unmatched by fiat currencies or traditional assets.
With inflation expectations lingering and global monetary policy in flux, Bitcoin’s programmatic scarcity and 24/7 liquidity have made it, in Strategy’s calculus, a superior reserve asset. The company’s 19.2% BTC yield in 2025 so far has only reinforced this conviction.
This blueprint is now being replicated worldwide. In Japan, Metaplanet has accumulated 11,111 BTC since adopting its Bitcoin-first treasury policy in 2024, including a recent 1,111 BTC haul that brought its holdings within striking distance of Tesla’s.
Executives there have framed the accumulation as part of a deliberate pivot to a Bitcoin-first treasury model aimed at “maximizing shareholder value in the long term” while reducing exposure to Japan’s weakening yen. Metaplanet explicitly cites Strategy’s success as inspiration.
Elsewhere, South Korea’s Parataxis recently secured $18 million to launch a Bitcoin treasury vehicle on the KOSDAQ exchange, while U.S.-based KindlyMD is pursuing a multimillion-dollar merger with Bitcoin investment firm Nakamoto Holdings to pivot to a BTC treasury operation.
These moves suggest a growing institutional consensus that corporate treasuries need crypto exposure, particularly as global debt markets show increasing volatility.
