Strategy, the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, announced on Monday that it has acquired an additional 245 BTC for $26 million. This purchase has increased the company's total Bitcoin holdings to 592,345 BTC. The acquisition was made using proceeds from the sale of

Class A shares, STRK, and shares at-the-market (ATM).

According to a press release on June 23, Strategy purchased the additional 245 BTC at an average price of $105,856 per bitcoin between June 16-22, 2025. Chairman Michael Saylor shared the news on X, highlighting that the company has achieved a BTC yield of 19.2% year-to-date. With the latest purchase, Strategy's Bitcoin stash is now valued at nearly $60 billion at the current BTC price of $101.5K.

Last week, Strategy announced a significant Bitcoin acquisition of 10,100 BTC worth $1.05 billion, marking one of the largest Bitcoin purchases by the company. According to Saylor tracker, Strategy has nearly $19 billion in unrealized gains. The company’s holdings are valued at $60.16 billion compared to its total investment of $41.88 billion, positioning the firm as one of the most successful corporate Bitcoin investors.

Meanwhile, MSTR stock price continues to trade under pressure due to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. At the time of writing, MSTR stock was down nearly 2% to $362.50 in premarket trading hours. This indicated profit booking by investors amid the uncertainty surrounding geopolitical tensions. The stock price closed at $369.70 on Friday, recording a fall of 1.36% in a week. The stock has failed to reach even closer to a 52-week high of $543. Analysts remain bearish on MSTR stock price due to the increase in short trades and profit booking. The next target price for MSTR is $400.

Michael Saylor has recommended that other public companies, including Dell and Microsoft, should consider buying Bitcoin to increase shareholder value. Strategy’s Bitcoin acquisition plan has been followed by other companies such as Semler Scientific and Metaplanet. Semler Scientific announced plans to buy at least 105,000 BTC by 2027 and appointed Joe Burnett as director of Bitcoin strategy to achieve the goal. Metaplanet, known as Asia’s MicroStrategy, also announced an accelerated Bitcoin acquisition plan to buy 210,000 BTC by 2027.

Bitcoin price continues to move near the inflection point amid the geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. BTC jumped 2% from an intraday low of $98.2K. However, the price hasn’t moved much despite the BTC buy announcement by Michael Saylor. Bitcoin price changed hands at $102,002 at the time of writing. The 24-hour low and high were $98,286 and $102,136, respectively. Furthermore, the trading volume has increased by 20% in the last 24 hours, indicating a rise in interest among traders.
