Strategy Makes $1.25 Billion Bitcoin Purchase Ahead of CLARITY Act Markup

Michael Saylor’s Strategy has added another substantial Bitcoin purchase as it approaches the 700,000 BTC milestone.

According to a recent SEC filing, the company acquired 13,627 BTC for $1.25 billion, averaging $91,519 per Bitcoin. This brings Strategy’s total holdings to 687,410 BTC, acquired for $51.80 billion at an average price of $75,353 per BTC. The purchase was funded through proceeds from selling 1.2 million STRC shares and 6.8 million MSTR shares, generating net proceeds of $119.1 million and $1.13 billion, respectively.

This purchase represents Strategy’s largest Bitcoin acquisition in 2026 and its biggest since July 2025, surpassing two $1 billion purchases made in December 2025. It is also the company’s second purchase this year, following a 1,286 BTC acquisition for $116 million between December 29 and January 4. The announcement came shortly after Saylor hinted at the purchase in a post on X, sharing the company’s Bitcoin portfolio tracker with the caption “₿ig Orange.”

Strategy Strengthens Bitcoin Holdings

Bitcoin’s price continues to hover around the $90,000 level. It briefly climbed to $92,000 earlier, following news of a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, but retraced most of its gains shortly after. Meanwhile, Strategy’s stock (MSTR) remains largely flat, trading around $157, roughly the same as last week’s close.

The stock is up nearly 2% year-to-date, recovering slightly after a 2025 loss. This latest Bitcoin purchase comes ahead of the CLARITY Act markup scheduled for this week. The legislation could be a major catalyst for the crypto market if it passes committee approval and moves to the Senate floor.

Strategy’s continued accumulation signals confidence in Bitcoin despite regulatory uncertainty, positioning the company to reach its ambitious 700,000 BTC target while highlighting the market impact of corporate Bitcoin buying.

From Speculation to Everyday Spending

The post From Speculation to Everyday Spending appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Cryptocurrency is evolving beyond its speculative origins and becoming what it was initially designed to be: a medium of exchange. From buying coffee to booking international travel, cryptocurrency is quietly but significantly moving into everyday transactions. This shift is among the most consequential developments in global finance today. As of early 2025, more than 560 million people worldwide hold cryptocurrency. Growth is accelerating in Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia, where traditional financial infrastructure often leaves gaps that crypto helps fill. This broader adoption reflects a transition from passive ownership to active use, signaling the asset class’s growing utility. Users are increasingly turning to digital currencies not only for convenience, but also for autonomy and access. Crypto payments are now catering to real-world needs, from remittances to retail purchases, and the ecosystem is beginning to reflect this shift. Changing expectations, real use In the United States alone, nearly 55 million adults own crypto, and over a third have already used it to make purchases. The focus has moved from speculation to utility. These users want crypto to work like any mainstream payment method: fast, low-cost, and dependable. However, friction, whether in the form of fees, delays, or a lack of support, can discourage its use. As adoption grows, expectations rise. Users now demand platforms with real-time tracking, integrated wallets, customer support, and secure, low-latency performance. Sponsored Sponsored Meeting these expectations requires infrastructure that mirrors traditional finance in terms of speed, security, and reliability, while still delivering the benefits of decentralization and flexibility. Business response to a real shift As user behavior evolves, businesses are adapting. The demand for cryptocurrency payment options is increasing across e-commerce, online services, and digital platforms. However, enabling crypto transactions requires more than simply flipping a switch. It requires a strategic approach to integration, compliance, and…
