Michael Saylor's Strategy's Bitcoin Acquisition Strategy Sets a New Milestone

Under the leadership of Michael Saylor, Strategy(MicroStrategy, MSTR) made notable moves in the cryptocurrency market last week. As the largest publicly traded Bitcoin holder, this company continues to pursue an aggressive buying strategy despite market corrections.

Strategy Achieves New Milestones

Led by CEO Michael Saylor, Strategy added a total of 22,305 Bitcoin over the past week, worth approximately $2.13 billion. With this purchase, the company’s total Bitcoin holdings reached 709,715 coins, valued at about $53.92 billion. The average purchase price was $95,284 per Bitcoin, which was higher than the current Bitcoin price of $89.94K at the time of acquisition.

The company opted to raise capital by issuing $1.8 billion in common stock and selling $294.3 million worth of perpetual preferred stock, Stretch(STRC). This strategic capital raising demonstrates a commitment to maintaining consistent accumulation goals amid cryptocurrency market volatility.

Continued Pressure Amid Market Corrections

Last week, Bitcoin fell from over $94,000 to below $91,000, causing Strategy’s stock to drop about 5% early in the trading session. Nevertheless, Michael Saylor’s company continues to see short-term market volatility as an opportunity, maintaining ongoing purchases, which signals confidence in its medium- to long-term strategy.

Signs of Growth Across the Cryptocurrency Industry

Alongside Strategy’s moves, the entire crypto industry is experiencing notable growth. Major exchange KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, averaging about $114 billion per month. This not only marks an all-time high but also signifies a new level of market share for centralized exchanges.

KuCoin’s trading composition shows a nearly balanced volume between spot and derivatives, each exceeding $50 billion. Notably, altcoins other than Bitcoin and Ethereum account for the majority of trading activity, indicating KuCoin’s role as a liquidity hub for both mainstream cryptocurrencies and various other assets.

Institutional Service Value Recognized: BitGo’s Listing

Meanwhile, crypto custody solution provider BitGo(BitGo) is preparing to go public on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) with an IPO price of $18 per share. The IPO values BitGo at approximately $2 billion, with the ticker symbol BTGO.

BitGo focuses on custody and staking services for crypto assets, and analysts view this business model as more predictable and stable compared to traditional trading-focused businesses. While some industry players have struggled amid broad market corrections, institutional-friendly infrastructure companies like BitGo are showing relatively stable growth.

The series of movements—Michael Saylor’s aggressive institutional buying, KuCoin’s record performance, and the listing of institutional service providers like BitGo—clearly demonstrate that the cryptocurrency market is experiencing structural growth.
