\n

Software firm turned Bitcoin<\/a> treasury company <\/span>Strategy<\/span><\/a> has been buying BTC for more than five years, pioneering the growing trend of publicly traded firms that are adding cryptocurrencies to their balance sheets.<\/span><\/p>\n

What started as a way to <\/span>“maximize long-term value for shareholders\u201d<\/span><\/a> has transformed into an industry-shifting paradigm that has been further fueled by greater entwinement of traditional financial markets and crypto.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Along the way, Strategy has accumulated 815,061 BTC, or nearly 3.9% of the fixed 21 million total Bitcoin supply\u2014a stash worth nearly $62 billion at today\u2019s Bitcoin price above $75,000.<\/span><\/p>\n

Regardless of how high Bitcoin\u2019s price goes, though, Strategy co-founder and Executive Chairman Michael Saylor has committed to <\/span>\u201cbuying the top forever,\u201d<\/span><\/a> pulling up the firm’s average entry price to over $75,500 per Bitcoin\u2014over seven times the average cost of the firm\u2019s first Bitcoin purchase.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Below, we look back at Strategy\u2019s seven largest Bitcoin purchases to date and their immediate impacts on the price of Bitcoin, marked from the time of Saylor\u2019s announcements via social media.<\/span><\/p>\n

#1) 55,500 BTC – November 25, 2024<\/h2>\n

Average price: $97,862\u00a0<\/strong>
Total spend: $5.4 billion\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Michael Saylor announced Strategy\u2019s largest-ever purchase of Bitcoin, by both BTC and USD denominations, on November 25<\/a> in 2024. The purchase of 55,500 Bitcoin surpassed its previous top acquisition by more than $800 million.<\/p>\n

In the hours after the Saylor announcement, Bitcoin dropped by about $4,000 to under $94,000, a 4% decrease from the average price paid by Strategy.<\/p>\n

MicroStrategy has acquired 55,500 BTC for ~$5.4 billion at ~$97,862 per #bitcoin<\/a> and has achieved BTC Yield of 35.2% QTD and 59.3% YTD. As of 11\/24\/2024, we hodl 386,700 $BTC<\/a> acquired for ~$21.9 billion at ~$56,761 per bitcoin. $MSTR<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/79ExzXk4UM<\/a><\/p>\n

2) 51,780 BTC – Nov. 18, 2024<\/h2>\n

Average price: $88,627<\/strong>
Total spend: $4.6 billion\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The second-largest Bitcoin purchase in Strategy history<\/a> came just one week before its largest-ever purchase. Though Bitcoin dropped shortly in the hour following the announcement, a rebound followed, and it reached a daily high of $92,653, just 2% shy of its all-time high price, according to data from CoinGecko.<\/p>\n

The following day, Bitcoin hit a new all-time high price<\/a> above $94,000. Strategy\u2019s purchase brought its holdings to 331,200 BTC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3) 34,200 BTC – April 20, 2026<\/h2>\n

Average price: $74,395
Total spend: $2.54 billion<\/strong><\/p>\n

Strategy announced its <\/span>third-largest Bitcoin purchase of all-time on April 20<\/span><\/a>, 2026, adding 34,200 Bitcoin to its stash and pushing its total holdings to over 815,000 BTC in the process, valued around $62 billion shortly after its purchase.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike previous purchases that had been largely funded via convertible notes, Strategy\u2019s third-largest accumulation was fueled by Stretch (STRC), its dividend-paying preferred share.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While the firm\u2019s purchases have frequently been followed by a slide in Bitcoin prices, following its April 20 announcement, Bitcoin moved higher by more than 1% and was changing hands on April 21 around $75,907. That granted the firm a small unrealized gain from its announced purchase.<\/span><\/p>\n

4) 29,646 BTC – Dec. 21, 2020<\/h2>\n

Average price: $21,925<\/strong>
Total spend: $650 million<\/strong><\/p>\n

Strategy\u2019s fourth-largest Bitcoin purchase took place in December 2020 amid rising Bitcoin prices and bull market sentiment. The firm disclosed a purchase of 29,645 BTC for its fourth-ever Bitcoin acquisition.<\/p>\n

Despite the purchase being the largest for Strategy at the time, Bitcoin price’s was relatively unchanged in the 24 hours around the announcement. Data from CoinGecko showcases a Bitcoin open price of $23,518 on December 21, closing one day later at $23,795 for a negligible gain.<\/p>\n

5) 27,200 BTC – Nov. 11, 2024<\/h2>\n

Average price: $74,463<\/strong>
Total spend: $2.03 billion<\/strong><\/p>\n

Less than one week after Donald Trump won his second presidential election, Strategy announced a purchase of 27,200 Bitcoin<\/a>. That stash was purchased during the timeframe of October 31 to November 10, a time in which Bitcoin ranged in price from $72,000 to $80,000.<\/p>\n

However, following the Saylor announcement on the morning of November 11, Bitcoin moved violently upwards, closing the day at $88,637\u2014a move of more than 10%\u2014after setting yet another new all-time high price after the election.<\/p>\n

6) 22,337 BTC – March 16, 2026<\/h2>\n

Average price: $70,194<\/strong>
Total spend: $1.57 billion\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Strategy made <\/span>its second-largest purchase of 2026<\/span><\/a> near the end of the first quarter, grabbing 22,337 BTC valued at $1.57 billion at the time of purchase.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The purchase is good enough for its sixth-largest Bitcoin-denominated buy of all time, with this large buy spurred by continued sales of its preferred stock offering\u2014Stretch (STRC)\u2014which pays a dividend to holders and is occasionally issued when it trades above $100. When that is the case, the firm takes the funds raised from its issuance and buys more Bitcoin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While most of the firm\u2019s largest buys have typically been met with falling prices shortly after its purchase, BTC actually ranged upwards from the average purchase price of $70,194, breaching $75,000 on the same day the purchase was announced. In the days that followed, however, the price did retreat, briefly back to under $70,000.<\/span><\/p>\n

7) 22,305 BTC – January 20, 2026<\/h2>\n

Average price: $95,284<\/strong>
Total spend: $2.1 billion<\/strong><\/p>\n

Strategy went more than nine months without a splashy weekly Bitcoin purchase of $2 billion or more before nabbing 22,305 BTC for $2.1 billion<\/a> in January 2026.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That purchase was good enough for its seventh-largest of all-time by Bitcoin denomination, though it falls <\/span>just short of its December 9, 2024 acquisition of 21,550 BTC <\/span><\/a>at around $99,000 per coin when comparing overall USD spend.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Announced on January 20, the firm\u2019s latest major acquisition came with an average price of $95,284\u2014but amid growing trade tariff concerns and President Donald Trump\u2019s push to acquire Greenland, the top crypto asset sold off in the days that followed.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the time of the announcement, it had already fallen to around $90,000, and at one point the following day was trading as low as $87,650 according to data from CoinGecko\u2014more than 8% below Strategy\u2019s acquisition mark.<\/span><\/p>\n
