Michael Saylor Buys 155 BTC as Bitcoin Nears Record

Michael Saylor is once again proving he’s one of Bitcoin’s most committed believers. His company, Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), has added another chunk of BTC to its massive treasury — even as the price hovers near record levels. The move underscores Saylor’s unwavering conviction that Bitcoin remains the ultimate long-term asset.

155 BTC Added to the Treasury Amid Bullish Momentum

In its latest disclosure, Strategy revealed the purchase of 155 Bitcoin for $18 million, paying an average of $116,401 per coin. This brings the company’s total holdings to an eye-watering 628,946 BTC, valued at over $46 billion, with an average purchase price of $73,288.

While this may be one of the company’s smaller buys of 2025, the message is clear: Strategy is staying aggressive. The purchase follows a 245 BTC acquisition in June and a smaller 130 BTC buy in March. According to SEC filings, the latest transaction was funded through the sale of 115,169 STRF shares, generating $13.6 million in net proceeds.

Saylor hinted at the buy a day earlier on X, posting his trademark mantra that “you keep making money as long as you keep buying Bitcoin.” For him, every market dip — and sometimes even a rally — is an opportunity to strengthen the company’s BTC position.

A Smaller Buy After This Year’s Biggest Acquisition

The timing of this purchase is notable, coming just a week after Strategy’s largest buy of the year — 21,021 BTC worth $2.46 billion. The company recently filed for a $4.2 billion stock offering, with plans to use much of the proceeds for future Bitcoin buys.

This aggressive approach has cemented Strategy as the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin. Many market watchers now view MSTR shares as a leveraged play on BTC, reacting sharply to price swings in the crypto market.

MSTR Stock Climbs as Bitcoin Breaks Above $122K

The news of the latest buy sent MSTR shares higher in pre-market trading. According to TradingView data, the stock rose 3% to around $406, up from last week’s close at $395. The move coincided with Bitcoin’s weekend rally, which saw the cryptocurrency break above $122,000 — putting a new all-time high within reach.

MSTR has gained more than 31% year-to-date, outpacing Bitcoin itself, thanks to the company’s concentrated exposure to BTC.

Five Years of the Bitcoin Standard

This week marks the fifth anniversary of Strategy’s pivot to the “Bitcoin standard.” Since then, MSTR has delivered an average annual return of 100%, making it one of the best-performing major stocks in the world.

Over that period, the company has raised $46 billion through Bitcoin-backed equity and debt offerings. Its most recent product, STRC stock, was the largest IPO of the year, raising more than $2.5 billion for additional BTC acquisitions.

With the latest purchase, Michael Saylor is sending a familiar message to the market: Bitcoin remains the company’s core reserve asset, and no price is too high if you believe in its long-term trajectory.
