MicroStrategy purchased 10,624 Bitcoin for $962.7 million on Monday, the company’s largest single acquisition in months and its most aggressive buy of the fourth quarter.
The purchase, financed through equity sales, pushes the software firm’s total holdings to 660,624 BTC with an average cost basis of $74,696 per coin.
The latest expansion of Strategy Bitcoin holdings marks the firm’s most aggressive single-month acquisition in the fourth quarter.
The 10,624 BTC purchase surpasses Strategy’s previous notable buy on November 17, when it secured 8,178 BTC, and far exceeds the smaller weekly purchases seen throughout October and November, which ranged between 168 BTC and 525 BTC.
Notably, this is the largest Bitcoin acquisition ever announced by the Virginia-based business intelligence company, strengthening the scale and visibility of Strategy Bitcoin holdings across the global market.
The company’s consistent accumulation pattern has made it a significant benchmark for institutional sentiment, and this new purchase adds yet another milestone to its expanding digital balance sheet.
The timing is also critical. While market volatility has cooled in the weeks prior, the firm’s decision to increase Strategy Bitcoin holdings demonstrates continued confidence in long-term digital asset value, irrespective of short-term price movements or macroeconomic uncertainty.
Market reaction remains muted despite record buy
Despite the scale of this latest expansion in Strategy Bitcoin holdings, the broader market has shown limited reaction. Bitcoin remained largely unmoved following the announcement, holding steady just below the $92,000 mark.
The muted price response reflects the market’s growing ability to absorb large institutional purchases without significant immediate volatility—a sign of increasing liquidity and maturity within the ecosystem.
Meanwhile, Strategy’s stock (MSTR) saw a modest uptick of 3% in pre-market trading. While the market’s reaction to Strategy Bitcoin holdings continues to vary, investor appetite for the firm appears consistent with its long-running digital asset strategy.
Analysts have noted that although the market no longer reacts sharply to institutional purchases of this size, the cumulative impact of Strategy Bitcoin holdings remains substantial in the broader narrative of Bitcoin adoption. Every major acquisition reinforces the company’s position as the corporate entity with the largest Bitcoin treasury in the world.
A defining moment for long-term accumulation strategy
This latest expansion of Strategy Bitcoin holdings further cements the company’s identity as both an operational business intelligence firm and a long-term digital asset accumulator. With total holdings now exceeding 660,000 BTC, the company’s strategy remains one of the most closely watched indicators of institutional Bitcoin demand.
As markets progress through the final stretch of Q4, the industry will continue monitoring how Strategy Bitcoin holdings evolve and how future acquisitions may influence sentiment, corporate adoption trends, and long-term supply dynamics.
