Strategy, formerly MicroStrategy, has made another Bitcoin purchase, after a short gap. The firm acquired 7,633 BTC for $742.4 million. The acquisition, disclosed in an SEC filing, brings the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to 478,740 BTC, purchased at an aggregate cost of $31.1 billion. The latest acquisition was funded through a combination of STRK offerings and share sales, bought between February 3-9, at an average price of $97,255 per Bitcoin.
A Strategic Expansion in Bitcoin Holdings
Strategy’s founder Michael Saylor confirmed the transaction on X, highlighting that the purchase has increased the company’s average Bitcoin cost to $65,033. Further, he emphasized that the company remains committed to its Bitcoin treasury strategy, with plans to raise $42 billion by 2027.
In line with its growth, Strategy recently rebranded from MicroStrategy, incorporating a Bitcoin symbol in its logo to reflect its investment focus. The move follows shareholder approval to increase authorized Class A shares from 330 million to 10.3 billion and preferred stock from 5 million to 1 billion.
Additionally, the company revised its annual Bitcoin yield target to at least 15% for 2025, aligning with its Q4 2024 results. A new performance metric, “BTC $ Gain KPI,” was also introduced to track Bitcoin portfolio growth effectively.
Metaplanet Plans to Acquire 10K BTC by 2025
Tokyo-listed Metaplanet has announced a bold plan to expand its Bitcoin holdings significantly, targeting 10,000 BTC by 2025 and 21,000 BTC by 2026. The startup plans to raise 116.65 billion yen ($740 million) by issuing 21 million shares via moving strike warrants, marking one of Asia’s largest Bitcoin equity capital offerings.
The organization holds 1,762 BTC, valued at over 172 million euros. The company’s stock has surged 3,500% in the past year, reflecting high shareholder confidence in its Bitcoin Plan.
CEO Simon Gerovich, a former Goldman Sachs derivatives trader, cited Saylor’s approach as an inspiration for his company’s aggressive Bitcoin accumulation. This pivot has positioned the company as a major force in its digital asset investment.

Will Corporate Bitcoin Adoption Continue to Surge?
Strategy’s latest acquisition strengthens its position as the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, reaffirming its strategy of leveraging debt and equity sales for acquisitions. The company still has $4.17 billion worth of shares available for sale, suggesting further Bitcoin purchases. Meanwhile, Metaplanet’s entry into large-scale Bitcoin investment underscores a growing trend of corporate adoption. As companies continue integrating Bitcoin into their treasuries, will this strategy drive long-term financial stability or introduce new market volatility?
