- Strategy holds 582,000 BTC worth $61 billion at current rates
- Last week’s buy added 1,045 BTC valued at $110 million
- Concerns rise over MSTR dilution and insider stock sales
Strategy has again hinted at an imminent Bitcoin acquisition after Michael Saylor shared the company’s portfolio tracker for the tenth week. The tracker, which has been posted before Strategy’s purchases, demonstrates a gradual increase in Bitcoin holdings. As the BTC prices face pressure, another institutional buy could boost the short-term market sentiment.
Michael Saylor, Strategy chairman, continues to promote weekly updates that are often followed by BTC accumulation actions. The company already holds 582,000 BTC, which is estimated at $61 billion at current market prices. These repetitive signals have turned out to be an identifiable indicator of actual Bitcoin purchases.
Strategy follows a clear dollar-cost averaging model and accumulates Bitcoin at different prices across multiple market cycles. The first four years saw the firm purchase 226,000 BTC, while weekly buys since then have added 335,000 BTC. Last week, Strategy added 1,045 BTC to its balance sheet at an estimated cost of $110 million.
Strategy Continues to Fund Bitcoin Purchases Via STRD Preferred Stock
The company is near a possible milestone of 600,000 BTC should the next purchase be of the same size as the previous ones. Strategy could surpass its previous record of 12 consecutive weekly Bitcoin purchases. The previous streak was between November 2024 and February 2025 and contributed to the market confidence in the long-term institutional adoption of BTC.
Strategy has already issued several financial instruments to finance its accumulation, such as STRF, STRK, and the recently listed STRD. STRD preferred stock is currently listed on Nasdaq to allow Strategy to access capital markets to raise liquidity. These products have raised over $3 billion to fund Bitcoin-related treasury plans.
Concerns Increase Over MSTR Shares Despite Impressive Performance
The retail and institutional shareholders have however expressed concerns about share dilution and exposure risk of MSTR shares. Several company insiders, such as the Director Carl Rickertsen, recently sold large stakes in MSTR which increased market speculation. Meanwhile, critics such as Peter Schiff warn the public about the company’s excessive investment in Bitcoin.
Strategy’s stock continues to perform well in comparison to other giant tech companies and has outperformed Tesla, Apple, and Amazon in the previous 12 months. Nevertheless, that performance comes amid high volatility and is associated with a higher risk related to the Bitcoin price fluctuations. Investors continue to monitor high returns versus uncertainty in the Bitcoin market corrections.
The crypto markets and equity investors continue to scrutinize the future action of the company. Another buy may cause another wave of BTC inflows and strengthen the price. However, a sudden drop in the value of Bitcoin can increase pressure on Strategy’s aggressive treasury model.
