Michael Saylor’s Strategy, the world’s largest public holder of Bitcoin, has added yet another significant chunk to its already massive stash, marking a milestone in its long-standing cryptocurrency investment strategy.
According to a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing on Monday, Strategy acquired 155 BTC for approximately $18 million during the week ending Sunday. The purchases, made at an average price of $116,401 per coin, came as Bitcoin began the week near $114,000 and climbed toward all-time highs of around $122,000 by Sunday, according to data from CoinGecko.
This latest acquisition pushes Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings to 628,946 BTC, purchased for roughly $46.1 billion at an average price of $73,288 per coin. The move underscores the company’s unwavering commitment to its Bitcoin-first treasury strategy, even as the cryptocurrency market edges toward record valuations.

Even during periods of market volatility, the company has remained steadfast, signaling its long-term conviction in Bitcoin’s potential as a store of value.
Saylor’s Unshakable Bitcoin Vision
Company co-founder Michael Saylor has been the most vocal advocate of the strategy. In a post on X on Sunday, Saylor quipped, “If you don’t stop buying Bitcoin, you won’t stop making money.”
In late 2024, Saylor publicly vowed to continue buying Bitcoin regardless of price movements, reinforcing his ultra-bullish stance. Earlier this year, he reiterated his long-term forecast that Bitcoin could eventually reach an astronomical $21 million per coin within the next 21 years—a symbolic nod to Bitcoin’s hard supply cap of 21 million coins.
A Market-Leading Position
With nearly 629,000 BTC in its treasury, Strategy’s holdings far exceed those of any other public company, giving it an outsized influence in the Bitcoin market. Its aggressive accumulation has also made Saylor one of the most recognized figures in the crypto space, celebrated by Bitcoin enthusiasts and watched closely by Wall Street.
As Bitcoin hovers near its all-time high, Strategy’s latest purchase signals that the company’s conviction is stronger than ever. For Saylor and his team, the playbook remains simple: keep buying, keep holding, and trust that Bitcoin’s long-term trajectory will reward the bold
