Strategy adds over 20,000 BTC, to close in on 500,000 Bitcoin mark

Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, is nearing the half-a-million Bitcoin milestone after its latest acquisition.

A Feb. 24 US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing revealed that Strategy acquired 20,356 BTC for $1.99 billion, paying an average of $97,514 per BTC.

This brings the firm’s total Bitcoin holdings to 499,096 BTC, which are now valued at over $47 billion. Since the Michael Saylor-led company began accumulating Bitcoin, it has spent $33.1 billion, including fees, at an average purchase price of $66,357 per BTC.

The latest buy contributes to a strong start in 2025, with Strategy reporting a 6.9% BTC yield from Jan. 1 to Feb. 23, a BTC gain of 30,702, and a total valuation increase of $2.941 billion.
