Strategy buys $26M Bitcoin as prices bleed on geopolitical fears

Michael Saylor’s Strategy, the world’s largest public Bitcoin investor, disclosed its new BTC purchases amid the cryptocurrency sliding in response to escalating geopolitical fears last week.

Strategy acquired 245 Bitcoin (BTC) for $26 million during the week ending June 22, the company announced in an official disclosure on Monday.

The cost of Strategy’s new Bitcoin batch averaged at $105,856 per coin, with Bitcoin plummeting from around $108,900 last Monday to an intraweek low of just below $99,000, according to CoinGecko data.

With the new purchases, along with the previous $1 billion Bitcoin buy, Saylor’s Strategy now holds 592,345 BTC, which cost the company approximately $41.9 billion at an average price of $70,681 per coin.

Strategy’s BTC yield stands at 19% YTD

With its new Bitcoin acquisition, Strategy has maintained its Bitcoin yield, an indicator reflecting the percentage increase in the value of its BTC fortune over a specific period of time.

According to Strategy’s data, its year-to-date BTC yield after the new purchases stood at 19.2%, just 0.01% above the yield in the previous $1 billion BTC buy announced on June 16.

The latest BTC yield surge brings Strategy closer to its targeted YTD yield goal of 25% by the end of 2025. The company previously targeted a smaller yield of 15% but increased it on May 1.

Strategy’s new Bitcoin purchase announcement came shortly after Saylor raised his long-term price prediction on June 21, forecasting the cryptocurrency to hit $21 million in 21 years.
