Bitcoin Dips Below $75K As Strategy Adds 855 More Coins

While bitcoin briefly fell below $75,000, Michael Saylor did not hesitate to strengthen his positions. The Executive Chairman of Strategy invested $75.3 million to acquire an additional 855 BTC. A strategic choice, made official via the SEC, that fits into an uninterrupted accumulation policy since 2020. In a tense market, this move confirms the long-term vision of a key player on the crypto scene.

A consolidated strategy : Strategy buys $75 million of BTC

Strategy announced a new acquisition of 855 bitcoins for a total amount of $75.3 million, according to an 8-K form filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

This transaction was made at an average price of about $87,174 per BTC. Such a move comes as the price of bitcoin briefly fell below $75,000, an opportunity seen as strategic by Michael Saylor.

Here are the key facts :

• Quantity purchased : 855 BTC ;
• Total amount invested : $75.3 million ;
• Average purchase price : $87,174 per unit.

“Strategy currently holds about 713,000 BTC”, states the official filing, highlighting an accumulation strategy maintained despite market fluctuations. The company thus retains the status of the world’s largest institutional holder of bitcoin.

A bullish momentum anticipated by the markets ?

Beyond the purchase itself, it is the projection of Strategy’s portfolio that intrigues analysts. On the prediction platform Polymarket, traders now estimate there is an 81 % probability that the company will hold 800,000 bitcoins by the end of this year.

This anticipation reflects a clear confidence in the continuity of the accumulation strategy, regardless of short-term fluctuations. The company does not communicate a precise timeline, but its steady purchase pace could continue.

For Saylor, bitcoin represents a superior store of value, a strategic asset for corporate balance sheets in a context of inflation and monetary depreciation. While this approach is being adopted by some listed companies, it also triggers criticism regarding the centralization of a significant share of BTC in the hands of a single player. The limited supply structure of bitcoin accentuates this concentration, with potential long-term effects on market liquidity.

Strategy’s continuous accumulation confirms an intact conviction in bitcoin, even during downturns. While attention turns to regulators, MSCI extends the reprieve for crypto companies like Strategy, still giving them strategic room to maneuver in an ecosystem under pressure but still evolving.
