Based on reported figures, that move lifted the company’s total to 640,031 BTC. The firm’s cost basis is shown as $47.35 billion, with an average buy price of $73,983.
At current market levels the stash is valued at close to $80 billion (x$124,880 at the time of writing) and represents about 3% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply.
Reports have disclosed that Strategy began its crypto program with $250 million in Bitcoin. At one point the company held an unrealized loss of $40 million.
Over time, those early positions expanded dramatically. In the past seven weeks the firm added more than 11,000 BTC to its books. The result is now plain: Strategy sits as the largest corporate Bitcoin treasury, and its holdings have grown to a size that eclipses the market capitalization of several major banks.
Observers noted the company last paused purchases in July. Strategy pauses have often come around earnings reports or amid market swings, and this one was framed internally as a reminder of the power of long-term holding.
Reports show the firm remains committed to accumulation as a long-term approach, even if buys are not strictly weekly. Some market watchers see the pause as routine. Others will watch upcoming balance sheets and earnings calls for any change in tempo.
The report pointed out that on-chain revenues from blockchains fell 16% month over month, driven by lower volatility, but institutions continued to hold ETH positions.
VanEck warned that growing levels of ETH staking by large players may reduce rewards for smaller stakers, a point that could shape how smaller holders respond to institutional flows.
