Strategy Acquires 390 Bitcoin, October Buys Net 778 BTC
Michael Saylor’s company, the world’s largest public Bitcoin holder, added to its BTC holdings last week amid rising momentum, although buying activity has slowed considerably since September.
According to a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing on Monday, the company purchased 390 Bitcoin (BTC) for $43.3 million in its latest acquisition. These purchases were made at an average price of $111,117 per BTC, with Bitcoin briefly rising past $113,000 on Tuesday, according to CoinGecko data.
This acquisition brought the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to 640,808 BTC, acquired for approximately $47.4 billion at an average price of $74,032 per coin.
### Strategy Posts One of Its Slowest BTC-Buying Months
With the latest purchase of 390 BTC, the company has accumulated 778 Bitcoin in October—one of the smallest monthly totals in its history. This represents a significant decline compared to the 3,526 BTC acquired in September, marking a 78% decrease and underscoring the ongoing slowdown in accumulation.
The October buy is even smaller when compared to the massive purchases of 31,466 BTC in July and 26,695 BTC in May.
According to CryptoQuant analyst JA Maartun, the rapid slowdown in Bitcoin purchasing is due to capital-raising challenges. Equity issuance premiums have plummeted from 208% to just 4%, limiting the company’s ability to acquire Bitcoin at previous rates.
“Strategy is no longer buying big but they’re still buying,” Maartun commented on X (formerly Twitter), adding that long-term conviction remains strong despite growing funding pressure.
### 2025 Still Poised to Be a Record Year for Bitcoin Investment
Despite the sharp slowdown in recent months, 2025 remains the biggest year for Bitcoin investments by the company, with $19.53 billion spent on BTC acquisitions so far. With roughly two months left in the year, it still has a chance to surpass last year’s record of $21.76 billion, according to Maartun.
### Additional Context
The company’s latest purchase of 390 BTC coincided with its Common A stock (MSTR) falling below $280 last week, marking a gradual sell-off after shares peaked at around $456 in July, according to TradingView data.
