Strategy’s Bitcoin Bonanza: $980M Spent, 671K BTC Acquired-What Could Go Wrong? 😂

by

Key Highlights

  • In a move that would make even the most daring gambler blush, Strategy purchased a staggering 10,645 Bitcoin for roughly $980 million, bringing its grand total to a jaw-dropping 671,268 BTC, valued at over $60 billion-yes, billion with a ‘B’! 😱
  • This extravagant spree was financed chiefly by selling company shares, marking yet another week of nearly $1 billion spent on Bitcoin. Who knew shares could be converted into digital gold so easily? 💸
  • While Strategy maintains its place in the Nasdaq 100, it now finds itself under the MSCI microscope, facing scrutiny that could jeopardize its index status due to its unabashed Bitcoin obsession.

Today, the world’s largest publicly traded holder of Bitcoin, known simply as Strategy, revealed its latest escapade: acquiring 10,645 Bitcoin (BTC) between December 8 and December 14, for the princely sum of approximately $980.3 million. What a time to be alive!

The company disclosed that it forked out an average of $92,098 per coin. With this acquisition, their vault now holds a total of 671,268 Bitcoin, worth more than $60 billion based on current market trends-because who needs security when you have crypto? 🤔

A Second Helping of Bitcoin

Strategy cheerfully reported that this latest acquisition was primarily funded through its at-the-market program, selling common shares of MSTR, with a sprinkle of extra funds from sales of its STRD, STRK, and STRF perpetual preferred shares. In total, they sold about 4.79 million common shares, raking in approximately $888.2 million. Not too shabby, eh? 🤑

This recent purchase marks the second week in a row that the firm has splurged close to $1 billion on Bitcoin. Just last week, they snagged 10,624 BTC for about $962.7 million. Such back-to-back purchases are noteworthy, especially considering that earlier this year, Strategy’s shopping habits were decidedly more conservative due to certain limits on raising new capital. Apparently, those limits have taken a vacation. 🌴

Index Dilemmas and Market Marvels

Despite the rising tide of shareholder concerns regarding dilution and the risks of having a balance sheet resembling a Bitcoin mining operation, Strategy’s leadership stands firm. Earlier this month, CEO Phong Le proclaimed the company’s ability to raise billions as a demonstration of financial fortitude, all while some investors fretted over liquidity. Meanwhile, Executive Chairman Michael Saylor insists there are “no plans to sell” their Bitcoin, elaborating on this delightful strategy as a long-term accumulation plan. Long live the hodlers! 🙌

Alongside these Bitcoin revelations, Strategy confirmed its continued presence in the Nasdaq 100, following the index’s latest annual review, with changes set to take effect later this month. However, the spotlight now shines on MSCI, which is deliberating whether firms with over 50% of their assets in cryptocurrencies should be ousted from certain indexes. Strategy responded with a formal letter, branding the proposed threshold as “discriminatory, arbitrary, and unworkable.” Sounds like someone’s feeling feisty! 😏

MSCI is expected to deliver its final verdict by January 15, 2026, with any alterations potentially impacting the February index review. Analysts are warning that removal from major indexes could unleash a torrent of fund outflows. Meanwhile, Bitcoin is currently trading at $89,596, according to CoinMarketCap. What a rollercoaster ride this is! 🎢
