376,571 BTC Acquired in Just Nine Months Since U.S. Election
Strategy, the Bitcoin-focused treasury firm chaired by Michael Saylor, has more than doubled its BTC holdings since the November U.S. election, signaling deepening conviction in the long-term value of Bitcoin. The firm has acquired 376,571 BTC since November, amounting to 60% of its total current stash of 628,791 BTC.
This accumulation took place over just nine months, compared to four years needed to collect the first 252,220 BTC.
Strategy Invests Aggressively Despite High Prices
On Monday, Strategy disclosed it had purchased 21,021 BTC worth $2.46 billion, marking its third-largest dollar-value acquisition in company history. The average purchase price stood at $117,256 per BTC, demonstrating continued strategic accumulation even at historically elevated price levels.
The firm’s Bitcoin conviction remains strong, with total BTC holdings now valued at approximately $72.2 billion, based on current prices around $114,317.
Trump-Era Policies Fuel Corporate Bitcoin Strategies
The surge in accumulation has coincided with a wave of pro-crypto regulatory changes under the Trump administration, which has reversed several enforcement-heavy approaches from the previous era. These new policies have seemingly encouraged firms like Strategy to expand their digital asset exposure aggressively.
Strategy executed two other large purchases since the election:
- 55,500 BTC for $5.4 billion
- 51,780 BTC for $4.6 billion
Strategy Sees Bitcoin as a “Freedom Virus”
Michael Saylor recently called Bitcoin a “freedom virus”, emphasizing its decentralized, global nature and likening its adoption to a swarm that can’t be stopped. He also revealed that Strategy is the fourth most profitable financial firm in the U.S., having posted a record $10 billion in profit in Q2.
Strategy now controls around 3.16% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply, with an average acquisition cost of $73,277 per coin.
Bitcoin Standard Becoming the Corporate Norm?
Saylor believes that corporate adoption of Bitcoin is inevitable. Comparing it to technological shifts like electricity or the internet, he claims, “It’s going to become the rule over time.” Strategy is now exploring credit instruments tied to Bitcoin yields, aiming to deliver returns beyond BTC’s baseline performance.
With over $72 billion in Bitcoin and growing, Strategy’s aggressive approach may be shaping the future of institutional crypto investment.
