Catenaa, Tuesday, October 07, 2025- Bitcoin treasury giant Strategy, formerly MicroStrategy, has paused its routine weekly bitcoin acquisitions despite the cryptocurrency’s recent surge to an all-time high.
The company disclosed in a filing Monday that it made no purchases between September 29 and October 05.
Strategy’s total bitcoin holdings remain at 640,031 BTC, valued at about $79.4 billion. The company’s average purchase price stands at $73,983 per bitcoin, for a total investment of roughly $47.4 billion.
The pause follows a week in which the value of its holdings rose by nearly $9 billion, giving Strategy unrealized gains of about $32 billion.
Michael Saylor, the company’s executive chairman, hinted at the move Sunday, noting there were “no new orange dots this week,” referring to Strategy’s regular public tracker of bitcoin purchases.
The company’s latest 8-K filing also showed an unrealized quarterly gain of $3.89 billion on digital assets, alongside a deferred tax expense of $1.12 billion.
The slowdown in acquisitions coincides with Strategy’s shift from funding bitcoin purchases through common stock offerings to issuing perpetual preferred shares.
The firm remains the largest corporate holder of bitcoin, accounting for more than 3% of the total supply.
Shares of Strategy traded higher Monday, benefiting from a recent US Treasury clarification that exempts unrealized crypto gains from the corporate alternative minimum tax.
The stock is up more than 17% for the year, while bitcoin has gained about 33%.
