Strategy Adds 397 BTC to Treasury, Lifting Total Holdings to $69.17B

Michael Saylor’s company, Strategy Inc., has purchased an additional 397 Bitcoin, worth $45.6 million, at an average price of $114,771 per coin. This brought the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to 641,205, valued at $69.17 billion.

According to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the company acquired Bitcoin using its own funds and savings, following another Bitcoin accumulation by American Bitcoin.

Saylor shared an update on X that Strategy Inc. has earned a 26.1% return on its Bitcoin so far in 2025, and the latest purchase has further strengthened its position as the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin.

The steady rise in the company’s Bitcoin holdings shows its strong long-term confidence in Bitcoin despite global market instability, marking the fourth week in a row that Strategy Inc. has added more Bitcoin.

Trump Blames Democrats for Prolonged Government Shutdown

Strategy’s Bitcoin acquisition happened amid political tensions in the U.S. as President Donald Trump accused Democrats of the prolonged government shutdown.

In an interview with CBS News, Trump noted that the shutdown has left hundreds of thousands of federal workers unpaid, with the shutdown approaching one month, potentially setting a record for its length.

Trump added that Democrats were blocking funding bills, which has kept the government shutdown going and affected federal operations across the country.

The shutdown is putting more pressure on Congress to make a deal, but Trump has told Republicans to “keep voting” until an agreement is reached.

Bitcoin Dip Signals Short-Term Weakness

Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s price has fallen slightly after recent gains, and it is currently trading around $107,600, down 2.5% in the past 24 hours, according to TradingView.

Glassnode data shows that many recent Bitcoin buyers are now losing money, causing short-term holders to panic sell. Usually, this kind of selling often happens before long-term investors start purchasing more Bitcoin.

This suggests the current drop in Bitcoin’s price is just a short-term weakness, not a full trend change. If past patterns repeat, this temporary selling could lead to new buying and start Bitcoin’s next large move upward.
