Strategy invested $1 billion last week to increase holdings in BTC, marking the largest weekly ETH purchase by Bitmine in months

According to a post published by Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor on the X platform on Monday, Strategy bought 13,927 bitcoins last week with approximately $1 billion, with an average purchase price of about $71,902 per bitcoin.

Notably, Strategy's previous two BTC purchases were 1,031 and 4,871 coins, respectively, and this increase far exceeds the sum of the previous two, demonstrating the significance of this accumulation.

This transaction pushed the company's total Bitcoin holdings past the 780k mark, reaching 780,897 coins, with a total investment cost close to $60 billion, currently valued at about $59.02 billion.

Although since early February, following the market crash, the company's Bitcoin holdings have been below the average cost line of $75,577, at current prices, approximately 6.3% of the company's large Bitcoin holdings are in unrealized loss.

However, Saylor claimed in another post that Strategy's breakeven point for Bitcoin investments is only 2.05%. If Bitcoin's long-term gains exceed this figure, the company can maintain dividend payments without issuing MSTR stock.

Meanwhile, another ETH-focused reserve company, Bitmine, has also maintained a weekly accumulation pace, adding 71,524 ETH in the past week, the largest single-week increase since late December 2025.

Overall, despite the recent months of continued sideways consolidation in the crypto market, institutions have not retreated due to short-term price fluctuations. Instead, they accelerated their accumulation during the market adjustment phase last week.

If geopolitical conflicts worsen further and prices continue to decline, whether the leverage-based model relied upon by institutions can sustain remains a key concern for investors. Tracking the strategic moves of these institutional whales often provides more meaningful insights than blindly predicting short-term market trends.
