In a major development, financial enterprise Strategy has concluded the year 2025 with a noteworthy acquisition, purchasing an impressive $108.8 million worth of Bitcoin.
Strategy’s Recent Bitcoin Investment of $108.8 Million
As confirmed by Strategy’s Chairman, Michael Saylor, in a recent post on X, the organization has secured a new batch of Bitcoin, comprising 1,229 BTC. This acquisition, spanning from December 22nd to December 28th, was made at a price of $88,568 per token, totaling $108.8 million.
The transaction was meticulously funded through the proceeds of the company’s MSTR at-the-market (ATM) stock offerings, as detailed in their filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
On the preceding Monday, Strategy did not engage in any Bitcoin purchases; instead, it revealed a significant expansion of its newly established USD reserve. Initially set at $1.44 billion, this reserve grew to $2.19 billion following a substantial $748 million increase last week.
This innovative reserve was created to enhance the firm’s ability to weather market fluctuations and ensure timely dividend payouts.
Highlighting the habitual nature of its transactions, Saylor made a post on Sunday with an update on the Bitcoin portfolio status, suggesting renewed momentum in Bitcoin acquisitions with the phrase: “Back to Orange.”
Marking the end of 2025, this acquisition could very well be the last announcement of the year, considering Strategy’s pattern of Monday purchases.
Currently, Strategy holds a total of 672,497 BTC, with the investments made amounting to $50.44 billion. Based on the latest exchange rates, these holdings are presently valued at approximately $58.94 billion, resulting in a notable net profit of 16.85%.
Earlier in the year, Saylor’s firm enjoyed more substantial gains; however, price declines observed between October and November have slightly narrowed the difference to their cost basis.
Presently, Strategy’s Bitcoin break-even price is registered at $74,997. Following a drop in November, Bitcoin stabilized but it remains uncertain if it will retest this crucial level in the near future.
Bitcoin Shows Retracement After Open Interest Spike
Recent analyses indicate a marked increase in Open Interest for both Bitcoin and Ethereum, as highlighted by CryptoQuant analyst Maartunn in a recent post on X. “Open Interest” serves as a metric that quantifies the total number of open positions for an asset across centralized derivatives exchanges.
The chart demonstrates a significant 6% uptick in Bitcoin’s Open Interest within a 24-hour timeframe, reflecting the recent market dynamics.
This surge coincided with a broader market rally, and historically, such rapid increases in Open Interest often foreshadow impending volatility—this occasion was no exception as both assets experienced a sharp retracement.
Initially, Bitcoin surged to heights of $90,300 during the rally, but reverted back to $87,500, as the accompanying chart illustrates.
