Key Points
- Strategy resumes Bitcoin purchases, acquiring 7,633 BTC for $725 million, pushing MSTR stock upwards.
- Metaplanet announces a 4 billion yen Bitcoin acquisition plan, issuing its sixth unsecured and unguaranteed corporate bond.
Michael Saylor, a prominent Bitcoin enthusiast, stated that his company, Strategy (formerly known as MicroStrategy), has resumed purchasing Bitcoin during market dips after a pause last week. The company has bought an additional 7,633 BTC, investing $725 million at an average price of $97,255 per Bitcoin.
Following this acquisition, Saylor noted that the company has seen a Bitcoin yield of 4.1% year-to-date (YTD) for 2025. This is an impressive performance for the first 40 days of the year, especially considering the significant volatility of the Bitcoin price in recent weeks.
Strategy’s Bitcoin Holdings and MSTR Stock Performance
As of February 9, 2025, Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings have reached 478,740 BTC, acquired at a total cost of about $31.1 billion. The average purchase price was approximately $65,033 per Bitcoin, according to the SEC filing.
Since the start of 2025, Strategy has been consistently buying Bitcoin every week, with the exception of the previous week. This highlights the company’s long-term commitment to its Bitcoin acquisition plan.
Following these developments, Strategy’s MSTR stock experienced a 2% increase in pre-market trading hours on Monday, reaching $335. The MSTR stock, like Bitcoin, has also been subject to significant volatility in recent weeks. For a sustained rally, the MSTR stock needs to break past this downtrend to achieve subsequent targets of $385, $445, and $543.
Despite recent stock consolidation, large market players are increasing their MSTR holdings. Last week, it was reported that BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, increased its stake in Strategy to more than 5%. This indicates that large market players remain optimistic about the company’s Bitcoin acquisition strategy.
Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Acquisition Plan
In a significant financial move, Metaplanet has issued its sixth unsecured and unguaranteed corporate bond, valued at 4 billion yen and offered at 0% interest. Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich stated that the funds would be used to strengthen the company’s Bitcoin Treasury strategy.
The immediate availability of this capital will enable Metaplanet to purchase Bitcoin without delays associated with the exercise of stock acquisition rights. “We will continue to utilize the capital markets to strengthen our treasury and increase shareholder value,” Gerovich confirmed.
