Strategy, the company led by Michael Saylor and formerly known as MicroStrategy, has once again pushed the boundaries of corporate Bitcoin accumulation. The firm announced another weekly Bitcoin purchase, officially surpassing the historic milestone of 700,000 BTC held. The move comes at a sensitive moment as the crypto market braces for a potential ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court on tariffs proposed by former President Donald Trump.

Strategy Acquires 22,305 BTC for $2.13 Billion According to a recent filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Strategy acquired 22,305 BTC for a total of $2.13 billion, at an average purchase price of $95,284 per Bitcoin. The company now holds 709,715 BTC, acquired for a cumulative $53.92 billion, with an average purchase price of $75,979 per BTC. With this move, Strategy has firmly cemented its position as the largest corporate Bitcoin treasury in the world, with no close rival among publicly traded companies. The latest acquisition was financed through the sale of shares across three equity offerings: $1.8 billion raised from MSTR shares$294 million from STRC shares$3.4 million from STRK shares

“₿igger Orange”: Saylor Signals the Move in Advance Michael Saylor had already hinted at another major purchase on Sunday. In his customary weekly post on X, he shared Strategy’s Bitcoin portfolio tracker alongside the caption “₿igger Orange”, a phrase widely interpreted by the community as signaling a larger-than-usual acquisition. That interpretation proved correct. The latest purchase significantly exceeded the one made two weeks earlier, when Strategy acquired 13,627 BTC for $1.25 billion.

Bitcoin and MSTR Shares Under Pressure Amid Tariff Concerns The announcement came as Bitcoin pulled back from its yearly highs above $97,000, briefly dipping as low as $90,500. The market reacted to renewed concerns over Trump’s proposed tariffs, which could affect France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Finland, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, with potential implementation as early as February 1. The Bitcoin pullback also weighed on Strategy’s stock. MSTR shares fell in pre-market trading to around $165, nearly 5% lower than the previous week’s close of $173. Despite the decline, the stock remains up more than 12% year-to-date, marking a notable recovery after a weak finish to 2025.

Institutional Confidence Remains Strong Despite short-term volatility, institutional confidence in Strategy remains intact. Some market analysts believe MSTR shares could climb back above $200 in the near term, confirming that the stock has already formed a price bottom. Major institutional players continue to build exposure: Vanguard Group, via its Value Index Fund, disclosed an additional $200 million investmentVanEck has also identified itself as one of Strategy’s key long-term shareholders Volatility Ahead as Supreme Court Decision Looms Bitcoin and Strategy shares could soon experience heightened volatility. The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to issue an opinion today regarding Trump’s tariff case, and a final ruling remains a real possibility. Combined with Michael Saylor’s aggressive accumulation strategy, the market is entering a decisive phase that could significantly influence Bitcoin’s price trajectory and overall investor sentiment in the days ahead.
