Bitcoin News Today: MicroStrategy Adds 430 Bitcoin Boosting Holdings to $72.4 Billion

MicroStrategy has further expanded its Bitcoin holdings, purchasing 430 additional coins at an average price of $119,666 per bitcoin, totaling $51.4 million, between August 11 and August 17 [1]. The acquisition, confirmed by MicroStrategy’s Chairman Michael Saylor on August 17, elevates the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to 629,376 BTC, which is currently valued at approximately $72.4 billion at the market price of $115,091 per BTC [1]. The company’s average purchase price per bitcoin remains at $73,320, with a total investment in Bitcoin reaching $46.15 billion [1].

Saylor noted that MicroStrategy has generated a 25.1% return on its Bitcoin holdings year-to-date in 2025 [1]. The company’s sustained accumulation strategy has resulted in a $12.9 billion gain in 2025, despite ongoing volatility in the Bitcoin market [1]. The digital asset remains subject to high volatility, with a 30-day and one-year historical volatility of 28% and 44%, respectively. Implied volatility currently stands at 42%, suggesting continued expectations of price fluctuations in the near term [1].

MicroStrategy’s continued investment in Bitcoin solidifies its position as the largest corporate holder of the digital asset [1]. By acquiring Bitcoin across both bull and bear cycles, the company has demonstrated long-term confidence in its value and utility. The latest purchase contrasts with earlier reports from March 2025 that suggested no new acquisitions were taking place, highlighting MicroStrategy’s active strategy to build its Bitcoin reserves [2].

Despite a recent dip in its stock price—MicroStrategy’s shares fell 1.78% on August 15, 2025, to $366.32, marking a four-day losing streak [3]—the company’s Bitcoin strategy appears to remain unaffected by short-term equity market movements [1]. The firm’s aggressive accumulation of Bitcoin continues to draw scrutiny and interest as it prepares for a special shareholder meeting to discuss broader corporate strategy [4].
