After making headlines with massive weekly purchases, sometimes exceeding 10,000 BTC and even peaking at 55,500 BTC in late 2024, Strategy&#8217;s buying pace has now slowed drastically to around 200 BTC per week.<\/p>\n<p>The largest corporate Bitcoin holder&#8217;s deceleration is reflected in its spending as well.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"slower-buys-same-conviction\">Slower Buys, Same Conviction<\/h2>\n<p>In his latest analysis, Crypto analyst &#8216;Maartunn&#8217; <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JA_Maartun\/status\/1982401079880122585?\">estimated<\/a> that spending fell from billion-dollar allocations to just $22.1 million spent for 196 BTC last week. Despite the slowdown, 2025 still ranks as Strategy&#8217;s second-largest BTC investment year, with $19.53 billion deployed so far, trailing only 2024&#8217;s $21.76 billion.<\/p>\n<p>The firm now holds roughly 3.2% of all Bitcoin in circulation. However, tighter capital conditions have started to bite as equity issuance premiums have plummeted from 208% to just 4%, which has made fresh fundraising more challenging.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, MSTR stock is down nearly 50% from its all-time high, while Bitcoin itself trades only 16% below its peak, which has further widened the performance gap between the two assets. Despite this, the company&#8217;s share price remains closely correlated with Bitcoin, and Maartunn noted that it often mirrors its moves. Interestingly, Strategy <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/new-monday-new-bitcoin-purchase-strategy-increases-its-holdings-to-640418-btc\/\">continues<\/a> to buy near local price highs, most recently acquiring 196 BTC at an average price of $113,000.<\/p>\n<p>Even as the accumulation pace has slowed down, the firm&#8217;s unrealized Bitcoin profit still stands at a staggering $23.7 billion. As such, the analyst stated,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Strategy is no longer buying big &#8211; but they\u2019re still buying. Long-term conviction remains, even as funding pressure grows.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 id=\"trillion-dollar-bitcoin-dream\">Trillion-Dollar Bitcoin Dream<\/h2>\n<p>Though purchases have eased, Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor remains adamant that Bitcoin is at the heart of the firm&#8217;s long-term corporate treasury strategy. Speaking at a conference in Prague, the former chief exec <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/BTCPrague\/status\/1978047058562150595\">said<\/a> that there is only one way to lose &#8211; and that&#8217;s not to play the (Bitcoin) game.<\/p>\n<p>In a separate interview last month, Saylor <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/BitcoinMagazine\/status\/1973043042983747803\">revealed<\/a> an ambitious &#8220;endgame&#8221; to build a trillion-dollar Bitcoin balance sheet and use it to reinvent the global credit system. He said the goal is to accumulate $1 trillion in Bitcoin and grow it by 20-30% annually.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/strategy-slows-bitcoin-purchases-to-2021-levels-whats-going-on-behind-the-scenes\/\">Strategy Slows Bitcoin Purchases to 2021 Levels: What&#8217;s Going on Behind the Scenes?<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/strategy-slows-bitcoin-purchases-to-2021-levels-whats-going-on-behind-the-scenes\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The company&#8217;s once-aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy appears to be losing momentum.
