Strategy purchased 22,305 BTC last week at approximately $95,284 per coin, increasing its total holdings to 709,715 BTC.

With its most recent big acquisition, Michael Saylor’s Strategy, the world’s largest public Bitcoin holder, now holds more than 700,000 BTC.

According to a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday, Strategy bought 22,305 Bitcoin (BTC $90,437) for $2.13 billion last week.

According to CoinGecko data, the purchases were made at an average price of $95,284 per BTC. On Wednesday, Bitcoin briefly rose beyond $97,000.

The purchase raised Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings to 709,715 BTC, which cost around $53.92 billion at an average price of $75,979 per coin.

Accelerating accumulation after a slower 2025 start

Strategy’s most recent Bitcoin purchase represents a big jump in the speed of buying compared to most of 2025. It’s also the company’s biggest purchase since February of last year, when it acquired 20,356 BTC for around $2 billion.

On January 12, the business said it had bought 13,627 BTC ($1.3 billion), which was its biggest Bitcoin purchase since July of last year.

According to TradingView data, the acquisition came at a time when Strategy shares (MSTR) were starting to rise. On Wednesday, the stock rose above $185, which was the same day that Bitcoin hit a multi-month high of more than $97,000.

The rise also came after Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) decided in early January not to leave digital treasury businesses out of its market index.

Strategy’s share of the Bitcoin supply

According to Blockchain.com, Strategy now owns around 3.37% of the entire 21 million BTC supply and 3.55% of the 19.98 million BTC that are currently in circulation.

Strategy’s quick buying comes after a time of uncertainty for digital asset treasuries (DATs) after a summer 2025 rise that many people thought was a bubble.

James Butterfill, CoinShares’ head of research, claimed that the market is now ready to look at which DATs will survive by really fitting the accumulation model.

In a December 2025 update, he said, The future of DATs lies in going back to basics, disciplined treasury management, credible business models, and realistic expectations about the role of digital assets on corporate balance sheets.
