MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin treasury has rebounded quickly after a surprise sale last week, announcing a fresh, large-scale purchase that more than offsets the earlier disposal.
In a Sunday post on X, MicroStrategy co-founder and chairman Michael Saylor revealed the company added 1,550 BTC to its coffers — a buy that cost roughly $101 million. That move pushes MicroStrategy’s total Bitcoin holdings to a new record of 845,256 BTC.
The purchase comes just seven days after MicroStrategy briefly shook the market by selling 32 BTC — the first sale after a long accumulation streak dating back to late 2020. Although the amount sold was small, the fact that such a prominent long-term buyer participated in a sale dented sentiment and helped fuel a near-term price pullback. The rapid return to accumulation, however, has already erased that impact on MicroStrategy’s holdings.
Saylor’s X post included a snapshot of the BTC portfolio and the caption, “A good time to add more dots.” CEO Phong Le echoed the firm’s long-term strategy, quote-reposting the update: “Our corporate @Strategy is to increase net Bitcoin and Bitcoin per share over time. Rumors otherwise are just rumors.”
MicroStrategy also boosted its cash buffer. Saylor said the company added $100 million to its USD reserve, bringing that reserve to $1 billion. That liquidity pool — established last year to ensure the company can meet dividend commitments regardless of market volatility — had been drawn down previously, suggesting it has been tapped to pay dividends amid the recent downturn. The company’s 8-K filing with the SEC indicates the new BTC acquisition was funded by proceeds from MicroStrategy’s at-the-market (ATM) sale of MSTR stock; the same mechanism has been used to fund the USD reserve. The filing notes that the $100 million increase includes cash proceeds that are still settling.
Outside MicroStrategy, U.S. Bitcoin spot ETFs continued to see outflows last week. Data from SoSoValue show a net $1.72 billion left those funds — the fourth straight week of negative net flows.
At the time of reporting, Bitcoin trades around $63,400, down nearly 12% over the past seven days, as heavy ETF outflows and broader market volatility continue to weigh on prices.
