Executive Chairman Michael Saylor confirmed the $75.1 million acquisition through his X post, detailing the transaction and Strategy’s long-term commitment to accumulating Bitcoin despite market fluctuations. 705 BTC purchase was financed via the sale of equity holdings between May 26th and June 1st.

The average cost per Bitcoin for Strategy’s recent acquisition was $106,495, signaling their continued dedication to accumulating the asset. This purchase brings the company’s total investment in Bitcoin to over $40.68 billion at an average cost of $70,023, with current holdings exceeding $60.4 billion, generating more than $20 billion in unrealized gains. Metaplanet, another major player in the space, also made a significant purchase on the same day. The Japanese public firm acquired 1,088 BTC, boosting their Bitcoin reserves to 8,888 BTC as they too adopted a similar accumulation strategy. This surge in purchases coincided with an overall market increase, pushing Bitcoin’s price above $104,513.57 and leading to significant trading volume of $41.58 billion, indicating increased activity. Trading volume has spiked by 20.79% during the past 24 hours.
