Strategy Buys 24,869 Bitcoin for $2.01B at Average $80,985 per BTC

Strategy, formerly MicroStrategy, said it purchased 24,869 Bitcoin for about $2.01 billion, paying an average of roughly $80,985 per coin—one of the largest single corporate BTC buys on record. The company disclosed the transaction on its official press page, adding nearly 25,000 BTC to an already sizable treasury. Strategy has led publicly traded corporate accumulation of Bitcoin for years, and the latest purchase further cements its status as the largest corporate holder of the cryptocurrency. The buy comes with Bitcoin trading above the $80,000 level on major exchanges, according to CoinGecko market data, indicating Strategy is willing to add exposure at current prices rather than waiting for a pullback. Using the reported totals, the implied cost basis for this tranche is about $80,985 per Bitcoin. The figure is within the range where Bitcoin has traded in recent months. That entry level is significant for financial reporting: if BTC rises above $80,985, the position moves into profit; if it falls, Strategy would face unrealized losses on a roughly $2.01 billion stake. A single transaction approaching 25,000 BTC is uncommon among corporates, given the capital required and governance constraints around deploying more than $2 billion into one digital asset. Strategy's approach—often supported by equity and debt issuance—has few parallels in public markets and keeps its equity performance closely tied to Bitcoin's price. The purchase also affects market supply dynamics by moving nearly 25,000 coins into long-term corporate custody, reducing readily available exchange float. The broader crypto sector continues to face a mix of institutional interest and operational stress, with developments ranging from Bitcoin Depot's Chapter 11 filing and planned gradual shutdown to the VerusEthereum exploit that drained $11.6 million. Strategy's continued large-scale buying suggests institutional conviction in Bitcoin's long-term thesis remains intact despite such disruptions.
