Michael Saylor’s Strategy, previously known as MicroStrategy, has made another weekly Bitcoin purchase as the company eyes the 700,000 BTC milestone. This latest purchase comes ahead of the CLARITY Act markup this week, which could prove pivotal for the crypto market.
Strategy Acquires 13,627 BTC for $1.25 billion
An SEC filing shows that the company acquired 13,627 BTC for $1.25 billion at an average price of $91,519 per Bitcoin. It now holds 687,410 BTC, which it acquired for $51.80 billion at an average price of $75,353 per Bitcoin.
The filing shows that Strategy used proceeds from STRC and MSTR stock sales to fund this latest purchase. The company sold 1.2 million STRC shares and 6.8 million MSTR shares, making net proceeds of $119.1 million and $1.13 billion, respectively.
The announcement follows Saylor’s hint of another Strategy Bitcoin purchase yesterday. He posted the company’s Bitcoin portfolio tracker in an X post, with the caption, “₿ig Orange,” indicating that it was a huge purchase.

This marks Strategy’s largest purchase this year and also the largest since July 2025, topping two $1 billion BTC purchases it made in December 2025. It is also the second purchase this year, as Saylor’s company bought 1,286 BTC for $116 million between December 29 and January 4.
The purchase comes as the BTC price continues to struggle around the $90,000 range. Bitcoin had climbed to as high as $92,000 earlier today following reports of the criminal investigation into Fed Chair Jerome Powell. However, the flagship crypto has since retraced most of its gains.
Meanwhile, the Strategy stock is trading flat amid the announcement of this purchase. TradingView data shows MSTR is trading around $157, about the same price level it closed last week’s session at. The stock is up almost 2% year-to-date (YTD), having 2025 with a yearly loss.
The Bitcoin purchase also comes ahead of the CLARITY Act markup this week. This marks a huge development for the crypto market as the crypto bill could head to the Senate floor if it gets enough support at the committee stage.
