In a notable development within the cryptocurrency sector, Michael Saylor’s Strategy, recognized as the largest public corporate holder of Bitcoin, has recently made its smallest recorded purchase of the cryptocurrency. On March 17, the firm announced the acquisition of 130 Bitcoin (BTC) for approximately $10.7 million, translating to an average price of around $82,981 per BTC.
This latest purchase was funded through Strategy’s innovative program known as the “STRK ATM,” aimed at raising up to $21 billion to facilitate further Bitcoin acquisitions. This move illustrates Strategy’s ongoing commitment to expanding its Bitcoin holdings, albeit with this latest transaction being significantly smaller than previous acquisitions.
Since its inaugural major purchase in August 2020, where Strategy acquired 21,454 BTC for $250 million, the recent buy of 130 BTC marks a shift in the firm’s purchasing strategy. Now, with its subsidiaries holding a total of 499,226 BTC, acquired for an aggregate price of approximately $33.1 billion, Strategy is just 774 BTC shy of reaching a milestone of 500,000 BTC in holdings.

According to information on the Strategy website, the company’s Bitcoin yield currently stands at 6.9%, a figure that falls short of its ambitious 15% target for 2025. This discrepancy is particularly highlighted amidst recent market fluctuations, where Bitcoin prices dipped below $80,000, presenting a challenging climate for potential investors.
Smallest Purchase on Record
Following this latest transaction, it is noteworthy to mention that prior to acquiring 130 BTC, Strategy’s smallest recorded purchase was a 169 BTC acquisition made in August 2024. In 2025 alone, the firm has successfully acquired a substantial 51,656 BTC across seven separate transactions, showcasing its persistent engagement with the cryptocurrency market.
As the cryptocurrency landscape continues to evolve, this latest development from Strategy reinforces the complexities and strategic decisions underpinning corporate investments in Bitcoin. Stakeholders and market observers will undoubtedly keep a close eye on how Strategy navigates its path towards achieving the coveted milestone of half a million Bitcoin holdings.
This is a developing story, and further information will be added as it becomes available.
