• Strategy buys 245 BTC, total holdings near 592K BTC valued at $60 billion.
• MSTR stock dips 1.9% amid geopolitical tensions, next target set at $400.
• Other firms, including Semler and Metaplanet, plan major Bitcoin acquisitions by 2027.

Strategy, recognized as the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, announced a recent acquisition of 245 BTC valued at approximately $26 million. This addition raises the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to 592,345 BTC, with a cumulative investment of about $41.87 billion. According to the company’s press release dated June 23, the purchases were executed at an average price of $105,856 per bitcoin between June 16 and 22, 2025.

Chairman Michael Saylor shared on X (formerly Twitter) that Strategy has achieved a year-to-date Bitcoin yield of 19.2% in 2025. The firm’s total Bitcoin assets are currently valued near $60 billion, reflecting the current Bitcoin market price of approximately $101,500 per coin. The recent Bitcoin acquisitions were funded through proceeds from the at-the-market (ATM) sales of MSTR Class A shares and shares of its subsidiaries STRK and STRF.

In a major prior transaction, Strategy purchased 10,100 BTC worth $1.05 billion, marking one of its largest Bitcoin acquisitions this year. Michael Saylor’s tracking data estimates that the company holds nearly $19 billion in unrealized gains, with its holdings currently valued at $60.16 billion compared to a total investment cost of $41.88 billion.

M arket Impact on MSTR Stock

MSTR’s stock price has experienced downward pressure amid recent geopolitical tensions. As of the latest premarket trading, MSTR shares declined by approximately 1.9%, trading near $360. This follows a weekly decline of 1.36%, with the stock closing at $369.70 on Friday. Despite this, the share price remains significantly below its 52-week high of $543.

Market analysts note increased short positions and profit booking among investors. The next price target for MSTR shares is projected at $400, reflecting cautious sentiment in light of current uncertainties.

Following Strategy’s lead, other public companies have announced Bitcoin acquisition plans. Semler Scientific recently revealed intentions to purchase at least 105,000 BTC by 2027, appointing Joe Burnett as director of Bitcoin strategy to oversee this goal. Additionally, Metaplanet, often referred to as Asia’s MicroStrategy, plans to accelerate its Bitcoin accumulation, aiming for 210,000 BTC by 2027.

These corporate moves coincide with U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement to establish a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, which appears to be encouraging broader institutional interest in Bitcoin as a treasury asset.
