Strategy Buys More Bitcoin Worth $108.8M Amid Market Dip

Virginia-based company Strategy has once again made a fresh Bitcoin (BTC) purchase worth $108.8 million during a broad crypto market slowdown. 

This move shows that Strategy remains firm in its long-term Bitcoin belief, even as short-term market pressure grows.

Strategy Used Shares Proceeds to Buy More Bitcoin 

According to a recent filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Strategy bought 1,229 Bitcoin for a total of $108.8 million. With this transaction, Strategy reported a Bitcoin yield of 23.2% so far this year. 

The company’s total Bitcoin holdings have now climbed to 672,497 BTC, spending about $50.44 billion building this stash. This makes Strategy the largest known corporate holder of Bitcoin in the world.

To pay for the latest purchase, Strategy sold part of its own stock. The company sold 663,450 shares of MSTR, raising net proceeds of $108.8 million. All of these funds went directly toward buying more Bitcoin.

Strategy Resumes Heavy BTC Buying After Brief Pause

The new purchase came shortly after Strategy paused its Bitcoin buying activity. In the week ending December 21, the company chose not to buy Bitcoin. Instead, it focused on strengthening its cash reserve, lifting its U.S. dollar reserves to $2.19 billion.

That pause did not last long. The latest move suggests Strategy used the break to prepare for another entry rather than to slow down its overall plan.

Meanwhile, December has been one of Strategy’s most active months in 2025. The company made some of its largest Bitcoin purchases of the year during this period. 

In the week ending December 14, Strategy bought Bitcoin worth $980 million, marking its biggest purchase since July. A week earlier, it acquired 10,624 Bitcoin for $962.7 million. 

These large buys highlight the company’s continued effort to increase its Bitcoin exposure, even as prices remain unstable.

Bitcoin and Strategy Stock Slide as Market Uncertainty Grows

Strategy’s latest purchase comes as Bitcoin struggles to stay in positive territory for the year. The digital asset is down nearly 7% year-to-date. Although Bitcoin briefly climbed above $90,000 and appeared ready to erase its yearly loss, the move failed to hold. 

Prices later dropped to around $87,000 during intraday trading. This price action reflects the wider uncertainty across the crypto market.

At the same time, Strategy’s stock MSTR has also taken a hit in 2025. Data from TradingView shows MSTR shares are down about 47% year-to-date. The stock has fallen sharply from its yearly high near $455 to levels below $160.

Following news of the latest Bitcoin purchase, the stock continued to slide. In pre-market trading, MSTR is changing hands at around $157, slightly lower than last week’s close of $159.
