Strategy Bolsters Bitcoin Holdings with $450M Acquisition Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy and the largest Bitcoin treasury company, has once again affirmed its commitment to the leading cryptocurrency with a substantial new acquisition. The firm recently purchased nearly $450 million worth of Bitcoin, significantly expanding its total holdings and underscoring its long-term bullish outlook on the digital asset, even amidst recent market fluctuations.
Leading the Corporate Charge: Strategy's BTC Accumulation
Between August 26 and September 1, 2025, Strategy acquired an additional 6,048 Bitcoin for approximately $449.3 million. This latest move brings the company's total Bitcoin treasury to an impressive 636,505 BTC, acquired at an average cost of roughly $73,765 per Bitcoin, representing a total investment of around $46.95 billion. Co-founder Michael Saylor remains highly optimistic about Bitcoin's enduring potential, noting Strategy's 25.7% year-to-date yield on its Bitcoin holdings, despite recent price corrections. This aggressive investment strategy has positioned Strategy as a trailblazer, inspiring other publicly traded companies to consider Bitcoin as a primary treasury asset, a trend bolstered by favorable regulatory developments.
Metaplanet: Asia's Rising Bitcoin Treasury
Mirroring Strategy's pioneering approach, Japanese firm Metaplanet, often dubbed "Japan's MicroStrategy," has emerged as another significant corporate Bitcoin holder. Following Strategy's blueprint, Metaplanet announced plans to issue 550 million new shares, aiming to raise approximately $884.41 million (130.3 billion yen) to finance further Bitcoin acquisitions. This strategic pivot, driven by post-pandemic financial restructuring and Saylor's influence, has quickly elevated Metaplanet to the seventh-largest public holder of Bitcoin globally. The company recently added 1,009 BTC, bringing its total to 20,000 BTC, and has seen its stock (MTPLF) surge by an astonishing 740% year-to-date, reflecting strong investor confidence in its Bitcoin-centric strategy. The unwavering conviction of companies like Strategy and Metaplanet in Bitcoin's value proposition highlights a growing institutional embrace of cryptocurrencies, signaling a transformative era for corporate treasury management and the broader financial landscape.
