Strategy has intensified its Bitcoin accumulation once again, adding 2,932 BTC even as the world’s largest cryptocurrency erases its year-to-date gains amid deepening volatility.
The move underscores Executive Chairman Michael Saylor’s conviction in Bitcoin’s long-term value, despite heightened macroeconomic and regulatory pressures.
Strategy Adds 2,932 BTC
Strategy CEO Michael Saylor confirmed the latest purchase in a recent X post, revealing that the company acquired 2,932 BTC worth $264.06 million at an average price of $90,061. He added that, as of January 25, 2026, Strategy now holds 712,647 BTC, valued at $54.19 billion, with an average cost basis of $76,037 per coin.
This continuous purchase has solidified Strategy’s position as the largest Bitcoin treasury in the world and the first institution to surpass the 700,000 BTC threshold. Meanwhile, the fresh purchase comes shortly after Saylor made his conventional Sunday X post showcasing the firm’s Bitcoin portfolio tracker, accompanied by the caption “Unstoppable Orange.”
Further, it comes just after blockchain analytics platform Lookonchain reported on January 20, 2025, that Strategy had made a massive purchase of 22,305 BTC worth $2.13 billion the previous week, placing the company at an unrealized profit of $10.65 billion at the time.
However, with the most recent addition of 2,932 BTC at higher prices, Strategy’s unrealized profit has now adjusted to $8.36 billion. Despite the shrink in profitability amid Bitcoin’s broader pullback, the company continues to emphasize long-term accumulation as its overriding strategy.
Institutional Buying Rises as Regulatory Uncertainty Weighs on Market
Strategy’s latest acquisition arrives as the crypto market grapples with mounting macroeconomic pressures and ongoing U.S. regulatory uncertainty.
The long-awaited Clarity Bill remains deadlocked in Congress due to disagreements between Democratic and Republican lawmakers, leaving U.S. crypto firms and investors in limbo.
This persistent uncertainty has contributed to weakened market sentiment and increased volatility. Despite the turbulence, Strategy is not alone in its aggressive purchasing. Several major institutions continue to accumulate BTC. Recently, a Bitcoin whale accumulated 36,322 BTC in 9 days, expanding holdings as the asset slides.
Bitcoin Price Performance: YTD Gains Nearly Wiped Out
Bitcoin, which opened 2026 trading around $87,500, has now almost erased all of its YTD gains. Notably, it wiped this out entirely when it fell to $86,000 yesterday, weighed down by escalating concerns about a potential U.S. government lockdown.
According to CoinMarketCap data, BTC is trading slightly higher at around $88,000. However, sentiment remains fragile, with the Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index dropping to 29, signaling fear among investors.
Yet some analysts remain optimistic. Market expert Michael Van De Poppe predicted in a recent X post that Bitcoin could surge above $90,000 next week, suggesting a short-term rebound amid prevailing uncertainty.
