With this latest buy, Strategy’s total bitcoin holdings now stand at a staggering 638,460 BTC. The company has spent an aggregate $47.17 billion on these acquisitions, translating to an average purchase price of $73,880 per bitcoin.

At current levels, Strategy is sitting on substantial unrealized gains while maintaining an enviable 25.8% year-to-date yield in 2025.

Between September 2 and September 7, Strategy sold more than 750,000 shares across these vehicles, raising over $217 million in net proceeds. These funds were quickly deployed into bitcoin purchases, reflecting the company’s disciplined treasury allocation process.

The ATM program has become a powerful financing tool for Strategy, allowing it to raise capital efficiently while maintaining momentum in its accumulation strategy.

As of September 7, billions remain available for issuance and future bitcoin purchases, ensuring the company has flexibility to act when market conditions align.

What It Means for Bitcoin’s Next Move

Saylor has long been one of the most vocal proponents of bitcoin, positioning it not only as a hedge against inflation but also as the digital equivalent of gold. With more than 638,000 BTC under management. Strategy is the largest corporate holder of bitcoin by a wide margin.

The timing of the latest buy—above $111,000 per coin—shows confidence that bitcoin’s price has more room to run. Some analysts argue that these bold purchases reflect expectations of new all-time highs in the near future, as institutional demand and scarcity dynamics continue to support the market.
