Michael Saylor Hints at New Bitcoin Purchase
Michael Saylor, co-founder of Strategy, has indicated that a new Bitcoin (BTC) purchase is on the horizon. If this transaction goes through, it will represent the company’s third BTC acquisition within August.
The most recent acquisition took place on August 18, when Strategy bought 430 BTC for $51.4 million. This move increased their total holdings to 629,376 BTC, which is valued at over $72 billion at the time of this writing.
According to data from SaylorTracker, Strategy has seen a gain of over 56% on its BTC investments, translating to more than $25.8 billion in unrealized profits at current prices.
This month, Strategy’s BTC acquisitions have been relatively modest. While the company usually purchases thousands or tens of thousands of BTC in each transaction, it has only obtained 585 BTC so far this month through two separate deals.
Leadership in Corporate BTC Acquisition
Strategy is at the forefront of corporate BTC acquisitions, holding the largest BTC treasury by a significant margin. Saylor continues to promote Bitcoin to both individual investors and financial institutions, igniting a movement within the realm of corporate finance.

Shirish Jajodia, the corporate treasurer of the company, recently mentioned to podcaster Natalie Brunell that Strategy’s purchases do not influence the BTC market.
The firm acquires BTC through over-the-counter transactions, which are private agreements between parties that take place outside of spot exchanges, as well as other methods that do not affect market pricing.
Long-term holders, such as institutional investors, generally drive the floor price of Bitcoin upward. However, Jajodia noted that factors like price speculation and trading have a more immediate effect on BTC’s short-term market price.
“Bitcoin’s trading volume is over $50 billion in any 24 hours — that’s huge volume. So, if you are buying $1 billion over a couple of days, it’s not actually moving the market that much,” he stated.
Ongoing Accumulation Despite Share Price Drops
Strategy continues to acquire BTC for its corporate treasury, even as share prices decline, which has affected most Bitcoin treasury firms in the latter half of 2025.
The company’s stock fell to its lowest level in nearly four months on Wednesday, reaching approximately $325 per share, a figure not seen since April. However, the price recovered to around $358 per share by Friday.
