Bitcoin News Today: Strategy Buys 21,021 Bitcoin After $2.5 Billion IPO

Strategy, the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, has significantly expanded its digital asset portfolio in July 2025 by acquiring over 21,021 BTC following a $2.5 billion initial public offering (IPO) of its preferred stock, STRC. This acquisition brings the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to 628,791 units, valued at approximately $46.8 billion [6]. The IPO, recognized as the largest U.S.-based IPO of the year [2], generated funds that were almost immediately allocated to Bitcoin, with the company purchasing the 21,021 BTC at an average price of around $117,256 per coin [4].

The move reflects Strategy’s long-standing strategy of converting equity financing into Bitcoin, a model it has pioneered over the past several years [1]. The firm’s Executive Chairman, Michael Saylor, reiterated the company’s belief in Bitcoin’s superiority over traditional equities and real estate, emphasizing its role as a long-term store of value and strategic corporate asset [5]. The acquisition has further reinforced market confidence in Bitcoin’s value proposition and signaled an acceleration in corporate adoption.

The purchase has also sparked discussions around the sustainability of corporate Bitcoin strategies. While Strategy has executed its model with significant scale and speed, analysts question how many other firms can replicate the approach without encountering regulatory, financial, or market constraints [9]. Some suggest that as more companies adopt Bitcoin as part of their treasury strategy, competition for liquidity may rise, potentially affecting both the cost and availability of Bitcoin for institutional buyers [10].

This trend is not isolated to Strategy. For example, Japan-based Metaplanet recently added 780 BTC to its holdings, bringing its total to 17,132 BTC [7]. While Metaplanet's pace is more measured, it has outlined a goal of acquiring roughly 210,000 BTC by 2027 [8]. The growing interest in using capital markets to fund Bitcoin acquisitions reflects a broader shift in how corporations view capital allocation and risk management [11].

Despite the momentum, Strategy’s position remains unique due to the scale of its operations and the confidence of its investors. The recent IPO and Bitcoin purchase demonstrate that the model is still viable, at least for now. However, the success of such a strategy depends on ongoing investor support and a stable regulatory environment [12].
