Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy Buys 8,178 BTC Worth $836 Million

Strategy Inc., a prominent corporate treasury that primarily holds Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset, has completed the purchase of an additional 8,178 BTC for $836 million between November 10 and 16, marking one of the largest weekly Bitcoin buys by the company in 2025. Strategy after rebranding from MicroStrategy has shifted its focus from its legacy software business and started to concentrate on becoming a “Bitcoin Treasury Company,” by holding a massive amount of BTC as its primary treasury reserve asset. According to the latest information, Strategy’s recent Bitcoin acquisition brought its total holdings to 649,870 BTC, approximately 3% of Bitcoin’s 21 million total supply.     

Strategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor posted on X that they had acquired 8,178 BTC for approximately $835.6 million at around $102,171 per bitcoin and had achieved a BTC yield of 27.8% year-to-date 2025. As of November 16, 2025, they held 649,870 BTC acquired for about $48.37 billion at approximately $74,433 per bitcoin. Strategy has said that the funding for the latest BTC purchase came from their recent preferred-stock offerings and through their long-term “buy and hold” bitcoin strategy. The company reportedly sold 39,957 STRF shares for $4.4 million and 1,313,641 STRC shares for $131.2 million, with the remaining $1.64 billion and $4.04 billion. Strategy has cooled its BTC accumulation to the end of 2025. A gradual cooling-off procedure can be seen in the BTC acquisition percentage; in Q1, the BTC acquisition pace was 18.3% which fell to 13.1% in Q2 and 7.1% in Q3.   

Strategy’s latest BTC acquisitions come in the middle of a widespread rumor that claims BTC sells worth $4.2 billion during the sharp crypto market downturn. Last week, Strategy was accused of selling $4.2 billion worth of Bitcoin, fueled by the large Bitcoin transfers from wallets attributed to Strategy. CEO Michael Saylor quickly reacted to these rumors and confirmed that the treasury firm hasn’t sold its Bitcoin holdings. He claimed that the company had not sold 43,415 BTC worth $4.26 billion to over 100 different addresses during the broader crypto market fall. The market experts commented that despite its latest BTC acquisition, Strategy’s MSTR share price had declined by 2.9% on Monday and that Bitcoin had also shed 2.3% of its value over the past 24 hours at the time of publication.

BTC Downtrend Continues, Falling Below $90,000 Second Time in November 2025!

Strategy’s latest BTC acquisition has created traction in the crypto market, and traders are expecting a sharp rise in BTC’s price. Currently, BTC is trading below $90,000 for the second time in November 2025, and is valued at $89,888.56. Crypto experts believe that the current decline is part of the broader market downtrend, and they also claim that the ongoing trend has nearly erased BTC’s gains for 2025. The price drop is attracting new investors. According to the latest information, the President of El Salvador has just bought another 100 million dollars in Bitcoin.

Cryptoalpha.id confirmed the news via their X account that the President of El Salvador had bought another 100 million dollars in Bitcoin. They stated that when the price of Bitcoin had fallen to $89K, the government had actually bought a lot of it. In addition to the routine program of buying 1 BTC every day, the El Salvador government has just increased the purchase of 1,090.19 BTC worth $101 million in one hour.

The market analytics of BTC suggest that its overall market sentiment has shifted to “extreme fear,” and is stressing out both short and long-term traders. Analysts warn investors that if BTC fails to reclaim the $93,000–$95,000 support level, it could fall further toward $86,000
