Bitcoin News Today: MicroStrategy Boosts Bitcoin Holdings to 629,376 BTC Amid Strategic Buy-The-Dip Approach

Strategy, led by Executive Chairman Michael Saylor, has announced plans for a third Bitcoin purchase in August 2025, increasing its holdings to 629,376 BTC, valued at over $72 billion [1]. This acquisition of 585 BTC was made through over-the-counter transactions and private agreements, a method the firm has consistently used to avoid disrupting open market price dynamics [2].

The move reflects Strategy’s long-standing commitment to Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset. Since 2020, Saylor has directed substantial investments into Bitcoin, positioning the firm as the largest corporate holder of the cryptocurrency globally [3]. Saylor has frequently stated that Bitcoin is “on sale” and that the company will continue to buy when conditions are favorable [2]. The firm’s accumulation strategy is part of a broader “buy-the-dip” approach that has been executed consistently over the past several years [3].

Market observers remain cautiously optimistic about Strategy’s continued investment, as the firm’s large-scale purchases reinforce positive sentiment without directly influencing broader market movements. Despite Bitcoin’s recent decline to $115,000, the firm’s planned acquisitions are seen as opportunities for strategic accumulation [1]. However, the company’s stock has experienced volatility, with shares falling by over 10% in the past week, although they remain approximately 20% higher on an annual basis [2].

Analysts note that while large corporate Bitcoin purchases can signal confidence, they generally do not significantly alter on-chain dynamics or DeFi engagement [3]. The broader market appears to be in a consolidation phase, as indicated by the 30-Day Active Supply metric, which suggests a period of reduced activity [4]. Nonetheless, Strategy’s long-term buy-and-hold strategy is not driven by short-term price fluctuations.

Despite the growing value of its Bitcoin reserves, some analysts caution that a sharp correction in Bitcoin’s price could pose risks to balance sheets with significant BTC exposure, potentially leading to forced liquidations [5]. However, Strategy’s size and consistent purchasing strategy appear to provide it with resilience against such volatility.

The continued investment by Strategy underscores its confidence in Bitcoin’s future value and its increasing role in the global financial system. As Bitcoin gains further mainstream acceptance, corporate holdings like Strategy’s serve as a benchmark for institutional confidence in digital assets [1]. The next few months will be key in determining whether Bitcoin can maintain its momentum or if macroeconomic factors will challenge the resilience of corporate portfolios.
