Michael Saylor’s Firm Sees 39% Drop in Monthly BTC Acquisitions
Strategy, the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder led by Michael Saylor, chose not to add to its 607,770 BTC stash last week — marking the second missed purchase this month. The pause comes as the firm ramps up its new $2.5 billion equity raise through the STRC preferred stock program.
Strategy acquired just 10,445 BTC in July — a steep 39% drop compared to June’s 17,075 BTC.
Despite recent Bitcoin price gains — from ~$118,000 to over $119,000 last week — Strategy remained inactive, even amid major market moves, including an 80,000 BTC sell-off by an early investor.
Bitcoin Buys Slow as Strategy Prioritizes Equity Raise
The latest U.S. SEC filing confirms Strategy made no Bitcoin acquisitions last week, following a similar skip during the first week of July. The only two buys this month occurred on:
July 14: 4,225 BTC
July 21: 6,220 BTC
In contrast, Strategy was highly active in April (25,370 BTC) and May (26,695 BTC), showcasing a multi-month slowdown.
This is the second time Strategy has skipped a weekly BTC purchase since April.
$2.521B STRC Offering Expands Capital Strategy
Last Friday, Strategy upsized its STRC equity offering from $500 million to $2.521 billion. The preferred stock, priced at $90, is set to settle by July 29, pending final conditions.
This Series A perpetual stretch preferred stock (STRC) joins Strategy’s previous equity tools, including STRK, to fund continued BTC accumulation over time.
Saylor calls STRC one of the “four pillars of the Bitcoin defense department.”
While Strategy remains firmly bullish on Bitcoin, the recent slowdown suggests a short-term shift in focus toward equity-based capital raising rather than immediate accumulation.
With over 600,000 BTC on its books and a fresh $2.5B war chest, Strategy’s next big move could shape the Bitcoin market in Q3 2025.
