Strategy Bitcoin holdings grew again Monday after Michael Saylor announced the company bought 520 Bitcoin for about $35 million. The acquisition brought total reserves to 847,363 BTC. Moreover, it was the third consecutive week of consistent corporate Bitcoin buying for the firm.
Saylor announced the acquisition through a post on X. He said that Strategy increased its USD Reserve by $300 million to $1.4 billion. The credit quality of the reserve backs the Digital Credit securities.

Strategy Bitcoin Buy Slows but Accumulation Continues
The latest Strategy Bitcoin purchase was less than recent weekly purchases. Still, it showed the company remains active during weaker market conditions. When the update was reported, Bitcoin was trading around $64,500.
At that price, Strategy’s Bitcoins are still worth tens of billions. The company built the position via debt, equity sales, and preferred share instruments. One of the preferred products for that funding plan is STRC.
Saylor seemed to be giving hints of the buy the day before. “Looks better with more dots,” he wrote on Sunday, along with Strategy’s acquisition chart. Earlier this kind of post had appeared frequently before the Bitcoin buying updates.
The Strategy Bitcoin update came after another weekend message from Saylor. He said Bitcoiners agree on the “99% that matters.” He also said that the market opportunity outweighs the internal issues.
At current prices, strategy’s treasury position has been under pressure. By its dollar cost range, the company is estimated about $9.8 billion underwater. Saylor has argued its strategy, focusing on Bitcoin’s long-term trajectory.
Strategy Bitcoin Plan Divides Market as MSTR Shares Rally
The Strategy Bitcoin plan has received mixed reviews from the market. Supporters view it as a corporate treasury model centered on Bitcoin exposure. The risks cited by critics are those associated with leverage, equity issues, and preferred securities.
MSTR has increased by over 800% in the last five years. That performance has maintained many investors’ with Saylor’s perspective. It’s also maintained Strategy Bitcoin accumulation at the heart of the company’s market identity.
The biggest corporate holder of Bitcoin globally is Strategy. Its latest purchase shows the firm is still adding coins, even in smaller amounts. The sale is an indication that the prevailing prices are not unattainable for its treasury scheme.
The smaller buy could reflect timing, capital structure, or purchase pacing. The company did not indicate that it was altering its Bitcoin policy. Instead, Saylor’s post referred to ongoing interest in additional dots.
Strategy Bitcoin holdings now stand at 847,363 BTC. The company has not deviated from its basic treasury policy. Its next update will be watched for the size and timing of any further purchase.
