After a brief pause, Michael Saylor’s Strategy has resumed its weekly Bitcoin purchases. The company announced it acquired 220 BTC for $27.1 million, raising its total holdings to 640,250 BTC, purchased at an average price of $74,000 per coin. The latest move comes as Bitcoin struggles to maintain gains, dropping sharply amid market turbulence. Strategy has achieved a notable 25.9% BTC yield year-to-date, highlighting its long-term confidence in the cryptocurrency.
Funding the Purchase Through Stock Sales
To finance the latest Bitcoin acquisition, Strategy sold shares of STRF, STRD, and STRK, generating $19.8 million, $5.8 million, and $1.7 million respectively. The company’s co-founder, Michael Saylor, teased the purchase a day prior by sharing a BTC portfolio tracker with the caption: “Don’t Stop ₿elievin’.” This symbolic message underscores Strategy’s ongoing commitment to accumulate Bitcoin even during volatile market conditions.

Context: Crypto Market Challenges
This Bitcoin purchase occurs amid the largest crypto liquidation in history. Bitcoin briefly fell to $104,000 following news of a 100% tariff on China, effective November 1. Just last week, Strategy paused its weekly buying streak, which had spanned nine consecutive weeks starting in July with a massive $2.46 billion acquisition of 21,021 BTC—the largest of 2025. Despite market uncertainty, Saylor’s Strategy remains steadfast in its accumulation strategy.

MSTR Stock Reaction
While the Bitcoin purchase signals long-term optimism, Strategy’s stock (MSTR) shows muted movement. Premarket data indicates a slight 1% uptick to $307 from last week’s $304. However, the stock has declined 13% over the past five trading days and continues to trade below its 2025 high of $455, erasing nearly all YTD gains. The stock’s short-term struggles contrast with the company’s confidence in Bitcoin accumulation.
Strategy’s renewed Bitcoin purchase demonstrates its long-term belief in crypto despite market downturns. Michael Saylor’s team continues to bet on BTC, showing patience and resilience that could define the company’s investment approach in volatile markets.
