Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor said the upcoming Bitcoin (BTC) purchase, if completed, would mark the company's third BTC acquisition in August.
The company's recent Bitcoin purchase occurred on August 18, when strategy bought 430 BTC for $51.4 million, with a total holding of 629,376 BTC, and at the time of writing it was worth more than $72 billion.
According to Saylortracker, its BTC investment strategy grew by more than 56% to current prices with unrealized returns of more than $25.8 billion.

The company's BTC acquisition in August was relatively small. The strategy usually acquires thousands or tens of thousands of BTC in each purchase, but this month only 585 BTC was acquired in two separate transactions.
Strategically led the company's allegations of BTC acquisition and is the largest BTC financial company. Saylor continues to advocate for Bitcoin through orange investors and financial institutions, which has sparked the growth of the company's finances.

Strategy will not directly affect Bitcoin market price through its acquisition plan
Shirish Jajodia, the company's corporate finance director, recently told Podcaster Natalie Brunell that the strategy did not shift the BTC market through purchases.
The company acquires BTC through over-the-counter transactions, private agreements between parties occurring outside the spot transactions and other methods that do not affect market prices.
Institutional investors have long-term BTC holdings, which has increased the parity of Bitcoin over time. However, other factors, such as price speculation and traders, have a more direct impact on the short-term market price of BTC.
He added: “In any 24 hours, Bitcoin transactions are over $50 billion – that's a huge sales volume. So if you buy $1 billion in a few days, it's not really that much.”

The strategy continues to accumulate BTC for its company's Treasury Ministry, even in a decline in stock prices, which affected most Bitcoin Treasury companies in the second half of 2025.
The company's stock fell to its lowest point in nearly four months on Wednesday, at a low of about $325 per share, a level that has never been seen since April. However, Friday's price rebounded to around $358 per share.
