Bitcoin News Today: Strategy Inc. Spends $356.9M to Buy 3,081 Bitcoin at $115,829 Average Price

Strategy Inc. (MSTR) continued its aggressive accumulation of bitcoin in late August 2025, acquiring 3,081 BTC at an average price of $115,829 per coin, with a total cost of $356.9 million [1]. This acquisition expands the company’s total bitcoin holdings to 632,457 BTC, with an aggregate purchase price of $46.5 billion and an average cost of $73,527 per bitcoin [2]. The transaction took place between August 18 and August 24, as disclosed in the company’s press release and verified through public announcements on X and crypto news platforms like The Block and CoinDesk [3].

To fund the purchase, Strategy executed several at-the-market (ATM) offerings under its common and preferred stock programs. Through its common stock ATM program, the company issued 875,301 shares of MSTR common stock, raising $309.9 million in net proceeds [4]. In parallel, the company issued 210,100 STRK shares for $20.4 million in net proceeds and 237,336 STRF shares for $26.6 million in net proceeds [5]. The firm also issued 944 STRD shares, generating $0.1 million in net proceeds. Total net proceeds from all ATM offerings during the period reached $357 million [6].

Strategy has consistently maintained a public dashboard on its website, in compliance with Regulation FD, to disclose its bitcoin holdings, market prices, and other relevant financial information [7]. The firm’s preferred stock ATM programs remain active, with remaining capacities of $20.4 billion for STRK, $1.8 billion for STRF, $4.2 billion for STRD, and $4.2 billion for STRC [8].

The latest acquisition reinforces Strategy’s long-term strategy of treating bitcoin as a core reserve asset. By acquiring large quantities of BTC at relatively stable prices, the company is effectively building its treasury in a way that minimizes exposure to short-term volatility [9]. This approach has been widely interpreted as a strategic move to position bitcoin as a store of value and a complement to traditional financial assets.

Analysts have noted that Strategy’s continued large-scale purchases send a strong signal of institutional confidence in the crypto market [10]. The $356.9 million transaction is one of the largest single bitcoin purchases in recent months and reflects a broader trend of institutional adoption and interest in digital assets. The company’s year-to-date BTC yield stood at 25.4% as of August 24, 2025, demonstrating the appreciation of its holdings [11].

Strategy’s management has not indicated any plans to reduce its BTC holdings, reinforcing the long-term nature of the investment [12]. The firm’s ongoing accumulation of bitcoin has drawn widespread media coverage, with outlets such as Binance, The Block, and Bitcoin.com highlighting the strategic significance of the move.
