Saylor Buys 1,229 BTC as Bitcoin, MSTR Drift Toward 2025 Losses
Strategy, the firm formerly known as MicroStrategy, added 1,229 BTC in its latest weekly purchase as crypto markets struggle. The buy comes even as both Bitcoin and Strategy’s stock (MSTR) have surrendered earlier 2025 gains and are heading toward calendar-year losses, underscoring the disconnect between long-term accumulation strategies and near-term price action.
The purchase matters because large, repeated buys from high-profile holders can tighten available supply and signal conviction to other investors, but they haven’t insulated markets from broader weakness. For investors, the episode highlights concentrated exposure risk — Strategy’s balance sheet remains tied to BTC’s price — and serves as a reminder that institutional accumulation does not guarantee short-term recovery.
