They spent $1.34\u202fbillion this time. That\u2019s not the first big buy in 2025. On May\u202f5 they paid $95,167 for 1,895\u202fBTC, and on April\u202f28 they picked up 15,355\u202fBTC at $92,737 each. It shows they\u2019re buying at different price levels.

That shift matters. A higher cost basis means they need even bigger price moves just to break even. Peter Schiff, a well\u2010known gold advocate, warned that their next purchase might nudge that average above $70,000. He argues that if Bitcoin falls below their weighted cost, small paper losses turn into real losses once they sell.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Strategy has acquired 13,390 BTC for ~$1.34 billion at ~$99,856 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 15.5% YTD 2025.

With each large purchase, fewer coins are left on exchanges. Some analysts say that can tighten supply and support prices. Others argue the real test will come when markets turn. If demand cools and holders start selling, even big players like Strategy will feel the heat.<\/p>\n<p><em>Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Strategy has kept up its aggressive Bitcoin buying.
