Prior to the U.S. stock market opening on Monday morning, Strategy founder Michael Saylor announced that his BTC treasury accumulation play had acquired an additional 10.6k BTC for $962.7M, implying an average acquisition price of $90.6k per bitcoin.

What's the Scoop?

  • Latest Buy: From December 1 to December 7, Strategy sold $928.1M of MSTR shares and $34.9M STRD perpetual preferred stock for net proceeds of $963M. This money was used to buy 10,624 BTC, bringing Strategy's total BTC holdings to 660,624 (more than 3% of total supply).
  • Price Pop: Strategy commenced pre-market 2% above last Friday's close, and held onto to its gains throughout the trading session. Shares in the company have rallied over 17% off their December 1 lows.
  • Poor Performance: MSTR has been hammered in the second half of 2025, shedding nearly two-thirds of its value since the start of July. Holders of the beleaguered stock have weathered a steady drumbeat of FUD in recent weeks, from JPMorgan circulating month-old MSCI delisting rumors to fresh fears that Strategy could be forced to liquidate its BTC reserves.
