Michael Saylor’s Strategy, the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder, added more BTC to its balance sheet last week as the US Federal Reserve cut interest rates for the first time this year.
Strategy acquired 850 Bitcoin (<a href="/bitcoin-price" rel="noopener noreferrer">BTC</a>) for $99.7 million during the week ending Sunday, <a href="https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0001050446/000119312525210048/mstr-20250902.htm" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">according</a> to a US Securities and Exchange Commission filing on Monday.
The purchase was made at an average price of $117,344 per coin as BTC briefly surged to multi-week highs above $117,000 on Thursday following the <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/federal-reserve-expected-to-slash-rates-here-how-it-may-impact-crypto" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_self">Fed’s 25 basis point interest rate cut</a>, <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/bitcoin" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">according</a> to CoinGecko data.
The acquisition brought Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings to 639,835 BTC, purchased for about $47.3 billion at an average price of $73,971 per coin.

Strategy’s latest Bitcoin purchase continued the trend of modest acquisitions, highlighting a slowdown compared with the large buys seen earlier this year.
So far in September, Strategy has acquired 3,330 Bitcoin, a sharp decline from the <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/michael-saylor-strategy-buys-4048-btc-bitcoin-holdings-636505" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">7,714 BTC bought in August</a> — itself down 75% from <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/strategy-buys-21k-bitcoin-strc-ipo" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">July’s 31,466 BTC</a>.

Saylor, who is known for his commitment to <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/michael-saylor-buy-bitcoin-forever-no-reason-sell" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">buy more Bitcoin at higher prices</a>, has made some remarks on the limited volatility of Bitcoin observed in the past months amid growing institutional adoption.

“The conundrum is, well, if the mega institutions are going to enter, if the volatility decreases, it is going to be boring for a while, and because it’s boring for a while, people’s adrenaline rush is going to drop,” he <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-price-volatility-institutions-retail-traders-strategy-michael-saylor" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">said in an interview last week</a>.

While Strategy’s Bitcoin purchases have slowed over the past two months, other companies, such as Japan’s Metaplanet, have been aggressively adding to their BTC holdings.
Metaplanet <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/metaplanet-becomes-world-s-5th-largest-corporate-bitcoin-holder-with-633m-buy" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">announced a 5,419 BTC purchase</a> on Monday, bringing its Bitcoin holdings to 25,555 coins and becoming the fifth-largest corporate Bitcoin treasury.
