The strategy co-founder Michael Saylor signaled the imminent Bitcoin (BTC) purchase and, if completed, the transaction marks the company’s third BTC acquisition in August.
The company’s latest Bitcoin purchase took place on August 18th, with the strategy buying 430 BTC for $51.4 million, bringing total holdings to 629,376 BTC, worth more than $720 billion at the time of writing.
SaylorTracker data shows that the strategy has grown by more than 56% in BTC investments, surpassing the unrealized level of more than $25.8 billion at current prices.
The company’s BTC acquisition in August is relatively slim. The strategy usually gets thousands or tens of thousands of BTC on every purchase, but so far only 585 BTC has been acquired in two separate deals this month.
The strategy is the largest BTC finance company, leading the claims for the company’s BTC acquisition. Saylor continues to advocate for Bitcoin by claiming individual orange investors and financial institutions, causing corporate finance moves.

The strategy has not directly affected the market price of Bitcoin in the acquisition plan
Shirish Jajodia, the company’s corporate treasurer, recently told Podcaster Natalie Brunell that the strategy would not be buying and moving through the BTC market.
The company has acquired BTC through commercial transactions, private parties contracts arising outside of spot exchanges, and other methods that do not affect market prices.
Institutional investors have long-term BTC, which will increase the floor price of Bitcoin over time. However, other factors such as price speculation and traders have an immediate impact on BTC’s short-term market prices, Jajodia said.
“Bitcoin trading volume exceeds $50 billion in 24 hours. That’s a huge amount. So if you’re buying $1 billion in a few days, you’re not really moving the market that much,” he added.
The strategy continues to accumulate BTC for the Ministry of Corporate Treasury, even amid sinking stock prices that affected most Bitcoin finance companies in the second half of 2025.
The company’s shares sank to its lowest point in nearly four months on Wednesday, reaching a low of around $325 per share, with no visible marks since April. However, prices recovered to around $358 per share on Friday.
