Strategy — the corporate Bitcoin allocator led by Michael Saylor — added 1,286 BTC to its treasury, paying roughly $116 million at an average price of $88,568 per coin. The buy was executed as Bitcoin moved firmly higher, trading above $90,000 and touching roughly $93,000 during the session.

Post-purchase, Strategy’s reported balance stands at 673,783 BTC with a total market value of about $50.55 billion and an aggregate cost basis near $75,026 per BTC. The incremental purchase nudges the firm’s exposure upward and slightly adjusts its weighted average acquisition price.

Saylor signaled the accumulation ahead of the public disclosure, a pattern that has been central to Strategy’s market signaling: measured buys announced after the trade can reduce execution leakage while still moving sentiment. The timing — adding to reserves as spot prices climbed into the low-90ks — underscores a continued bullish allocation posture rather than a liquidity-driven liquidation.

Alongside the Bitcoin purchase, Strategy increased its USD liquidity to $2.25 billion. Management says the cash buffer is earmarked for dividend distributions and upcoming debt-service obligations. That liquidity move is notable because it was executed despite the company carrying recent unrealized losses on its digital-asset holdings; prioritizing a cash reserve reduces short-term funding risk without forcing asset sales into strength.

Market mechanics to watch: large, visible purchases by an entrenched holder can reinforce upward momentum and tighten available spot liquidity, particularly when executed during a rally. At the same time, maintaining sizable cash reserves creates optionality for corporate actions (dividends, buybacks, debt paydowns) without relying on asset disposals that could be price-accretive or disruptive.
