  • Strategy Inc. (formerly MicroStrategy) now controls over 3% of the total Bitcoin supply after acquiring 22,305 BTC for $2.13 billion this week.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • The company\u2019s total holdings have reached 709,715 BTC, solidifying its position as the largest corporate holder with an aggregate investment of $53.9 billion.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • The company\u2019s total Bitcoin position was built for $53.92 billion at a lifetime average of $75,979 per coin.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Strategy now controls more than 3% of Bitcoin\u2019s (BTC) total supply after lifting its holdings to 709,715 BTC, making it the largest public holder of the asset.<\/p>\n

    At that level, the company holds about 3.37% of Bitcoin\u2019s fixed 21 million supply and roughly 3.55% of the estimated 19.98 million coins already in circulation, based on Blockchain.com data.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    The accumulation comes after a period of uncertainty for digital asset treasury firms following a sharp rally in mid-2025 that some market participants later described as overheated.<\/p>\n

    The renewed buying coincided with strength in both Bitcoin and Strategy\u2019s stock. Bitcoin traded above US$97,000 (AU$148,410) during the week, a multi-month high, while Strategy shares moved past US$185 (AU$283), according to TradingView.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    The stock had also benefited earlier in January after MSCI said it would not remove digital treasury companies from its market indices, as Crypto News Australia reported.<\/p>\n

    A US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing released Monday detailed the latest purchase. Strategy bought 22,305 Bitcoin last week for about US$2.13 billion (AU$3.26 billion), paying an average price of US$95,284 (AU$145,785) per coin.<\/p>\n

    In total, the company has spent about US$53.92 billion (AU$82.50 billion) building its Bitcoin position, with an average purchase price of US$75,979 (AU$116,248).<\/p>\n
