Strategy Significantly Reduces Bitcoin Investment Amid Market Uncertainty
Strategy, a major player in the Bitcoin market, has significantly scaled back its weekly Bitcoin investment. The company purchased only 245 Bitcoins last week for $26 million, marking its second-smallest weekly investment this year. This move suggests that Strategy might be anticipating a further decline in Bitcoin’s price.
The cryptocurrency has experienced a 5% drop in value over the past week, coinciding with escalating tensions between Israel and Iran. Bitcoin’s price dipped to $98,240 on Saturday, its lowest point in 45 days.
In stark contrast, Strategy invested $1 billion in Bitcoin the previous week, capitalizing on a price dip to buy near what appeared to be the period’s bottom.
Community Reacts to Strategy’s Smaller Investment
Strategy currently holds 592,345 Bitcoins, making it the company with the largest Bitcoin holdings. The community has expressed surprise at the relatively small $26 million investment announced on Monday, June 23, 2025.
“Strategy has acquired 245 BTC for ~$26.0 million at ~$105,856 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 19.2% YTD 2025. As of 6/22/2025, we hodl 592,345 $BTC acquired for ~$41.87 billion at ~$70,681 per bitcoin,”
…stated Michael Saylor, the company’s founder.
Some followers questioned whether the company was “running out of money,” while others were surprised by the average purchase price of $105,856, which was higher than the $98,240 low.
This recent purchase is the second smallest of the year, only exceeding the $10.7 million investment made in March. It also indicates that Strategy did not have buy orders around the $100,000 mark, a level often considered a psychological support.
While Saylor doesn’t discuss entry prices, it’s possible that the company is waiting for a more favorable buying opportunity.
The market is currently experiencing a significant downturn due to geopolitical tensions, and even long-term investors may benefit from these discounted prices.
Other Companies Increase Bitcoin Holdings
While Strategy reduced its investment, other companies have been actively increasing their Bitcoin holdings. Metaplanet, a Japanese company, acquired 1,111 Bitcoins for $118.22 million last week, maintaining its buying pace.
“Metaplanet acquired another 1,111 BTC; total holdings reach 11,111 BTC.”
While the amount is not far from Strategy’s recent purchase, it is worth remembering that Metaplanet’s operations are much smaller and the Japanese company used to make contributions of less than 100 BTC in 2024.
Méliuz, a Brazilian company, also surpassed Strategy’s weekly investment. According to CEO Israel Salmen, his company purchased $28.61 million in BTC.
“Méliuz S.A. (CASH3) informs that in recent days, following the conclusion of its share offering, it acquired 275.43 bitcoin for approximately US$ 28.61 million at an average price of US$ 103,864.38 per bitcoin. In total, the Company holds 595.67 bitcoin, acquired at an average…”
In addition, US ETFs closed the week with inflows exceeding $1 billion.
These figures highlight the strong institutional demand for Bitcoin, which leads some investors to believe that the cryptocurrency could reach $444,000 in 2026.
