Bitcoin News Today: Bitcoin Billionaire's Bold Bet: Strategy Buys 3% of All BTC

Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR) disclosed a $449.3 million Bitcoin purchase in late August and early September 2025, acquiring 4,048 BTC at an average price of $110,981 per coin. This acquisition, reported in a recent SEC filing, increased the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to 636,505 BTC, representing over 3% of Bitcoin’s total supply of 21 million. Acquired at an average cost of $73,765 per coin, the total investment now exceeds $46.95 billion. With Bitcoin trading at current market prices, the company’s holdings are valued at approximately $70 billion, translating to an unrealized gain of around $23 billion.

The purchase was funded through at-the-market sales of common stock and preferred shares, including the Strike, Strife, and Stride series. This capital-raising method allows Strategy to expand its Bitcoin portfolio without relying on debt. The firm’s aggressive accumulation strategy is a continuation of its long-term vision, championed by co-founder and executive chairman Michael Saylor, who has consistently advocated for Bitcoin as a superior store of value. Saylor’s recent post on social media noted a year-to-date BTC yield of 25.7% and hinted at future purchases, reinforcing the company’s conviction in Bitcoin’s long-term potential.

In parallel, Strategy launched its fourth preferred stock offering in September 2025, this time for 5 million shares of Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock (STRC). Each share has a stated value of $100 and will pay monthly dividends at an initial rate of 9% per annum, though the rate is subject to change. The proceeds will be used for corporate purposes, including further Bitcoin acquisitions and working capital. This offering follows three prior series—STRK, STRF, and STRD—demonstrating the company’s reliance on diversified capital market instruments to fund its crypto strategy. The STRC issue highlights Strategy’s ongoing efforts to maintain a liquid balance sheet while expanding its Bitcoin treasury.

Corporate adoption of Bitcoin continues to gain momentum, and Strategy’s actions underscore its role as a leader in institutional Bitcoin investment. The firm’s position as the largest public holder of Bitcoin is bolstered by its consistent and substantial purchases. In contrast, other entities such as Japanese investment firm Metaplanet are also building significant Bitcoin reserves, with a goal of acquiring 210,000 BTC by 2027. However, Strategy remains ahead, with Metaplanet currently holding 20,136 BTC, placing it sixth among corporate holders and the largest in Japan.

The broader financial landscape is evolving as more institutions consider Bitcoin a strategic asset. The U.S. regulatory environment, including the recent GENIUS Act for stablecoins, reflects increasing oversight in the crypto space. While European markets, particularly the EU with its MiCA Regulation, have adopted more comprehensive crypto frameworks, U.S. legislation is catching up. The development of stablecoin regulations and potential CBDCs could further shape the institutional investment landscape in the coming years. For now, Strategy’s continued accumulation and financing strategy illustrate the growing intersection between corporate finance and digital assets.
