The firm behind the largest Bitcoin treasury has signaled a return to large-scale cryptocurrency acquisitions with a recent purchase of $835 million worth of Bitcoin. In a filing submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday, Michael Saylor's Strategy reported the acquisition of 8,178 Bitcoin (BTC) at an approximate value of $835 million. This represents a substantial surge compared to the company's Bitcoin investments throughout October and early November, previously reported to be in the range of 400-500 coins per week.
This acquisition unfolded amidst significant volatility in the Bitcoin market. According to data provided by Nansen, the price of BTC experienced an approximate 11% decline over the preceding seven days, reaching $94,191 at the time of reporting. Strategy maintains its position as the entity holding the most extensive Bitcoin treasury, currently at 649,870 BTC, a strategy initiated in August 2020. BitMine Immersion Technologies leads in Ether (ETH) holdings, while Forward Industries holds the largest position in Solana (SOL).
Despite the recent Bitcoin price flash crash, Saylor, the executive chair of Strategy, affirmed through interviews and social media channels that the company remained committed to acquiring the cryptocurrency. However, the company's MSTR stock on Nasdaq has also seen a downturn, dropping by more than 16% in the past five days to $197.03 at the time of publication.
Over the weekend, Peter Schiff, a prominent gold investor and vocal critic of Bitcoin, challenged Saylor to a debate on stage at the Binance Blockchain Week in Dubai in December. Schiff characterized Strategy's "entire business model [as] a fraud." As of the time of publication, Saylor had not publicly responded to the challenge.
