Strategy adds 1,955 BTC to treasury portfolio, leading this week's BTC acquisition trend

Source Cryptopolitan

Strategy announced another 1,955 BTC purchase, following a Michael Saylor update. Treasuries are still scooping BTC off the market, as even smaller companies compete for more coins. 

Strategy announced its usual weekly acquisition, this time adding 1,955 BTC, to its balance at an average price of $111,196. Over the past week, Strategy continued with its purchases, even as BTC weakened below $110,000.

Following the announcement, BTC maintained its recovery, trading at $112,004. The latest Strategy purchases happened during a week of relative weakness. 

Michael Saylor announced the latest purchase after signaling an “orange dot day” late on Sunday. 

Metaplanet also bought BTC this Monday. The Japanese firm also typically announces its treasury additions at the beginning of the new week. 

Strategy returned to MSTR issues

For the latest BTC purchase, the bulk of liquidity came from MSTR issuance. A little over $200M for BTC purchases came from the latest MSTR addition. 

This is the second week Strategy has returned to its MSTR ATM facility, following a period of relying on preferred stocks. The new issuance happened after Strategy changed the rules for mNAV values, allowing it to mint more MSTR for purchases or other costs related to its BTC acquisition model. 

During the latest purchase period, Strategy also used $5.2M from the STRK ATM facility, for now reserving other preferred shares for ongoing acquisitions. 

The entire treasury is now at 638,460, which is still below the level of leading ETFs. Currently, Strategy operates with a mNAV ratio of 1.55, which would require more cautious MSTR additions to avoid dilution. At this level, the ratio still shows confidence in MSTR and its ability to transform fiat into BTC, but also signals a weakening exuberance from peak levels. 

Following the latest issue, MSTR traded at $335.87, while STRF preferred shares traded at $111.50. STRC traded close to its nominal value at $97.60. STRK traded at $95.55, while STRD offered the biggest discount at $78.50. Strategy continues to offer different tiers of risk, potentially drawing in diverse investors. 

Competition for treasury status increases

Within the top 100 treasury companies, the minimal BTC holding is now at 78 BTC, up from just 20 BTC a few months ago. Smaller acquisitions continue, either with available cash or through special fundraising facilities. 

Public companies now own 1,005,879 BTC, with the bulk still held by the top 5 entities. However, smaller buyers and new financing facilities are still emerging. Firms like Capital B announce small raises of up to EUR 5M ($5.86M) to pursue their own treasuries. 

For now, the buying has not materialized into the expected BTC supply crunch. However, the smaller buyers add to the predictable demand for more BTC, even when Strategy and Metaplanet slow down their buying. 

ETFs still hold the bulk of BTC, at 1.5M coins, but are also active sellers. Treasuries for public and private companies either hold BTC passively or sell in extremely rare cases. For now, treasury companies have not reported liquidating their BTC, with most showing long-term confidence. While some of the smaller BTC corporate treasuries are a vanity item, the general trend contributes to the BTC holding structure.

Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant. The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year. Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus. Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses. Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
