Michael Saylor's Strategy Makes Its Smallest BTC Purchase on Record
MicroStrategy inches closer to 500,000 BTC but slows down its purchases

Strategy, the world’s largest public corporate holder of Bitcoin, has just made its smallest BTC purchase on record. The company, led by Michael Saylor, announced the acquisition of 130 BTC for $10.7 million at an average price of $82,981 per Bitcoin.
This latest buy comes through the firm’s "STRK ATM" program, which aims to raise up to $21 billion in capital for further Bitcoin accumulation. However, it marks a significant slowdown compared to previous purchases. Since Strategy first entered the Bitcoin market in August 2020 with a $250 million investment for 21,454 BTC, the firm has never recorded such a small acquisition.
With this latest purchase, Strategy’s total holdings have reached 499,226 BTC, valued at approximately $33.1 billion. The firm is now just 774 BTC away from hitting the 500,000 BTC milestone. Despite this, Strategy’s Bitcoin yield stands at 6.9%, falling short of its ambitious 15% target for 2025.
The move is particularly notable given Bitcoin’s recent dip below $80,000. Historically, Strategy has taken advantage of price drops with larger purchases. Before this, the smallest Bitcoin acquisition the company had ever announced was 169 BTC in August 2024.
So far in 2025, Strategy has acquired 51,656 BTC across seven purchases, spending approximately $4.4 billion. However, its “BTC $ Gain” indicator, which measures the dollar value of Bitcoin gains, is still 74% below the company’s 2025 target of $10 billion.
As Bitcoin’s price remains volatile, questions arise over whether Strategy is adjusting its aggressive accumulation strategy or simply pacing itself for bigger buys ahead.
