A post from Michael Saylor said Strategy’s regular Bitcoin purchases will be suspended this week. “No new orange dots will appear this week,” he told followers, and used the break to point out the size of the company’s holdings (currently worth $79.03 billion).
Strategies to suspend weekly buying
Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) has recently confirmed it has purchased $22.1 million in Bitcoin, with an average price per coin of nearly $113,048.
Based on reported figures, the move has boosted the company’s total value to 640,031 BTC. The company’s cost base is listed as $47.35 billion, with an average purchase price of $73,983.
At the current market level, the stash reaches nearly $80 billion ($124,880 at the time of writing), which represents about 3% of Bitcoin’s circulation supply.

Holdings has grown since a small start
Reports revealed that Strategy has launched a crypto program with $250 million in Bitcoin. The company had temporarily suffered an unrealized loss of $40 million.
Over time, these early positions expanded dramatically. Over the past seven weeks, the company has added over 11,000 BTC to its books. The results are now clear. Strategy has established itself as the largest Bitcoin safe in the company, and its holdings have grown to an extent that exceeds the market capitalizations of several major banks.
Market Situation and Strategic Signals
Observers noted that the company last suspended its purchases in July. Strategic suspensions often come before and during earnings announcements or during market fluctuations, and this time they were planned internally as a reminder of the power of long-term holdings.
Reports say the company continues to work on accumulation as a long-term approach, even when purchases are not strictly weekly. Some market officials see the suspension as a routine thing. Some people keep an eye on whether there will be any changes in the tempo of future balance sheets and earnings announcements.
Increasing the Ministry of Finance for Institutional Investors
Meanwhile, a new report from VanEck estimates that institutional investors’ crypto assets will be valuated at around $150 billion. Much of this rise has been linked to increased allocations to Ethereum and Solana, which have raised new funds, despite recent fluctuations in trading activity.
The report noted that on-chain revenue from blockchain fell 16% from the previous month due to lower volatility, but financial institutions continued to hold ETH positions.
VanEck warned that increasing levels of ETH staking by large companies could reduce the rewards of small stakers, which could determine how smallholders respond to institutional flows.
