Saylor’s Strategy Buys Additional 1,229 Bitcoin, Achieves 23% Year-To-Date Gain

Michael Saylor’s Strategy has purchased an additional 1,229 Bitcoin for  $108.8 million, bringing its year-to-date gain 23.2%.

According to the SEC filing, Strategy bought the Bitcoin at $88,568 per coin and now owns 672,497 BTC in total, which it acquired for $50.44 billion at an average price of $74,997 per Bitcoin.

The filing also shows that Strategy sold 663,450 MSTR shares and used the proceeds to fund this latest Bitcoin purchase.

The purchase follows Saylor’s hint, when he posted his usual Sunday message on X with the caption “Back to Orange,” signaling that Strategy would be buying more Bitcoin.

Notably, Strategy made some of its biggest purchases in 2025 this month, including 10,624 BTC for $962.7 million in the week ending December 7 and a $980 million purchase in the week ending December 14, its largest since July.

Bitcoin and MSTR Stock See Year-End Decline

The latest Strategy purchase comes as Bitcoin is on track for a loss in 2025, with its price down nearly 7% so far this year. Bitcoin briefly bounced back above $90,000 yesterday and appeared close to erasing those losses, but it has since fallen again to around $87,000.

One encouraging sign for Bitcoin heading into 2026 is that it has never recorded losses for two consecutive years. Based on past trends, 2026 could be a positive year for BTC, although some worry that the market may already be in a bear phase.

At the same time, MSTR stock is also set to finish the year with losses. TradingView data shows the stock is down about 47% so far this year, falling from a high near $455 to below $160.

The stock has barely moved after the latest Bitcoin purchase was announced. It is currently trading flat at about $158, roughly the same level as where it closed last week.
