Strategy Marks Fifth Anniversary with $18M Bitcoin Purchase

August 11, 2025 — Michael Saylor’s Strategy has celebrated the fifth anniversary of its Bitcoin adoption by adding another $18 million in BTC, increasing its total holdings to nearly 629,000 BTC.

Fifth Anniversary Milestone

According to a US SEC filing on Monday, the latest Strategy Bitcoin purchase totaled 155 BTC, bought during the week ending Sunday. The acquisition came at an average price of $116,401, with BTC trading between $114,000 and $122,000 during that period.

The move increases Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings to 628,946 BTC, acquired at an average cost of $73,288 per coin. This represents a cumulative investment of $46.1 billion.

From 2020 to 2025: A 960% Price Surge

Strategy’s first Bitcoin purchase took place on August 11, 2020, when it acquired 21,454 BTC for $250 million. Since then, Bitcoin’s price has risen from around $11,400 to nearly $120,000, delivering massive returns for the company.

Consistent Buying Strategy

Even with BTC at record highs, the firm formerly known as MicroStrategy has continued its accumulation. In total, 74 separate acquisitions have been made over the past five years. Co-founder Michael Saylor remains steadfast, recently stating, “If you don’t stop buying Bitcoin, you won’t stop making money.”

One of the Smallest Acquisitions

While this Strategy Bitcoin purchase is significant in dollar terms, it is among the smallest in BTC volume. The smallest occurred in March 2025, when the company bought 130 BTC for $10.7 million. By dollar value, the smallest was a $5 million purchase in November 2023.

Outlook

Saylor has pledged to continue acquisitions regardless of price. In June, he forecasted Bitcoin could reach $21 million within 21 years, underscoring the company’s ultra-long-term vision
