In an exciting development for the cryptocurrency market, Michael Saylor’s company has disclosed another monumental addition to its Bitcoin holdings. This acquisition marks a significant expansion in their investment strategy.
Recent Acquisition Boosts Bitcoin Holdings
In a recent update shared on X, Chairman Michael Saylor announced that his company has successfully purchased an additional 487 BTC, elevating its overall portfolio to a staggering 641,692 BTC.
This latest transaction was executed with an average purchase price of $102,557, amounting to a substantial investment of $49.9 million. Notably, this acquisition aligns with the firm’s ongoing strategy, which has been characterized by consistent, albeit modest, purchases.
The funding for this purchase, occurring between November 3rd and 9th, was sourced from the sale of various company financial instruments including STRF, STRK, STRD, and STRC stock offerings, as reported in their documentation to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Analyst Maartunn from the CryptoQuant community has noted a peculiar pattern regarding Saylor’s buying habits: the firm typically makes purchases around the weekly peaks of Bitcoin’s pricing. However, recent data provided by Maartunn reveals that this latest acquisition defies that trend.
The accompanying graph illustrates that the recent purchase occurred close to a temporary low in Bitcoin’s price. As a result, these newly acquired tokens have not experienced immediate depreciation, unlike some previous acquisitions.
With this latest investment, the total amount invested in Bitcoin by the company has surged to $47.54 billion, resulting in an average purchase price of $74,079 per BTC. As long as the spot price of BTC remains above this average, the firm’s financial position will remain secure.
Currently, the valuation of the company’s treasury stands at nearly $67.7 billion, reflecting a profitable margin exceeding 42%. This robust profit margin is particularly impressive given the recent bearish trends affecting Bitcoin.
Even as Saylor’s firm continues to accumulate Bitcoin, other sectors within the cryptocurrency landscape are experiencing outflows, particularly in US spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Data from SoSoValue highlights that the past week witnessed a significant net outflow from these funds.

The data reveals that Bitcoin spot ETFs reported a negative netflow of $1.22 billion over the past week, continuing a concerning trend following an outflow of nearly $800 million the week before.
Despite these trends, Bitcoin’s price has begun the week with a positive surge. It will be intriguing to observe how the netflow dynamics evolve in the days ahead.
Current Bitcoin Pricing Trends
During its recent rally on Monday, Bitcoin surged past the $106,000 mark. However, after some market fluctuations, it has slightly retraced to its current position of $105,800.
