Michael Saylor’s Strategy Inc. continued its methodical accumulation strategy last week. The company purchased 196 BTC for $22.1 million, bringing its total holdings to 640,031 BTC.
According to the press release, the new acquisitions were made at an average price of $113,048 per Bitcoin, slightly above the week’s low as BTC dipped below $110,000. These purchases mark a slowdown in Strategy’s weekly Bitcoin acquisitions compared to earlier months, reflecting a cautious approach during current market fluctuations.
Michael Saylor Hints at Continued BTC Purchases
Michael Saylor had hinted about the latest Bitcoin purchase in a Sunday post on X, simply stating, “Always ₿e Stacking.” The brief message reflected the company’s consistent strategy of purchasing BTC irrespective of short-term price fluctuations.
In addition to direct Bitcoin purchases, Strategy funded the acquisition by selling portions of its MSTR, STRF, and STRD shares. The stock sales generated $128.1 million, of which only $22.1 million was used to acquire Bitcoin.
Saylor also remains optimistic about Bitcoin’s long-term trajectory. At a CNBC interview, he suggested that Bitcoin could eventually become ten times larger than gold, potentially placing its value near $12 million per coin. This long-term vision continues to guide Strategy’s cautious yet persistent accumulation strategy.
