This marks the company’s second consecutive weekly purchase in as many weeks, following a brief hiatus in the first week of July. As CoinGape reported, the firm acquired 4,225 BTC for $472.5 million in the week that ended July 13, surpassing the 600,000 BTC milestone in the process and becoming the first company to reach this milestone.
This latest purchase again increases Strategy’s dominance above the other Bitcoin treasury companies, with second-placed MARA Holdings boasting a relatively smaller stash of 50,000 BTC.
Saylor’s company has also broken into the top 10 largest U.S. corporate treasuries thanks to its recent purchases and the Bitcoin rally to new highs. The company is now ranked ninth, ahead of the world’s most valuable company, NVIDIA.
Meanwhile, the MSTR stock is up amid the announcement of this latest Bitcoin purchase. TradingView data shows that the Strategy stock is trading at around $432, up over 2%. However, the stock is still down over the last five days, correcting alongside BTC, which is down from its all-time high (ATH) of $130,000.
