Strategy Inc. has expanded its Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) holdings with a significant new purchase, acquiring 7,633 BTC for approximately $742.4 million at an average price of $97,255 per Bitcoin.

What Happened: The acquisition, made between Feb. 3 and Feb. 9, was funded through proceeds from stock sales under its $21 billion equity offering program and its recently completed $563.4 million preferred stock offering.

With this latest purchase, Strategy now holds a total of 478,740 BTC, acquired at an average cost of $65,033 per Bitcoin.

Michael Saylor, Strategy's co-founder and executive chairman, has remained vocal about the company's long-term commitment to Bitcoin, often describing it as the best store of value in the digital age.

The latest acquisition further cements Strategy’s position as the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, aligning with its strategy of using public and private funding to accumulate the cryptocurrency.

The firm has $4.17 billion in shares still available for sale, indicating that additional Bitcoin purchases may be forthcoming.

Strategy Inc.’s bold Bitcoin accumulation strategy has received mixed reactions from analysts.

Mizuho recently began covering the stock with an ‘outperform' rating and set a price target of $515, describing the company as a “Lever for the Believer” in Bitcoin, emphasizing its appeal to investors who view Bitcoin as a long-term asset.

Despite this optimism, questions persist regarding the sustainability of Strategy’s valuation, particularly in relation to the value of its Bitcoin holdings.
