Strategy first created the USD Reserve at the start of December, allocating $1.44 billion to it.<\/p>\n<p>During the announcement of the reserve, Saylor noted, \u201cwe believe it will better position us to navigate short-term market volatility while delivering on our vision of being the world\u2019s leading issuer of Digital Credit.\u201d The reserve\u2019s existence didn\u2019t mean that the firm paused Bitcoin acquisitions, as it made a purchase alongside the establishment of the USD reserve itself and on the two Mondays that followed.<\/p>\n<p>The Bitcoin purchase that came alongside the announcement was relatively small, but the two in the following weeks were some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/strategy-buys-1-billion-bitcoin-straight-week\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">biggest<\/a> of the year, each adding nearly $1 billion in tokens to the company\u2019s treasury.<\/p>\n<p>The latest addition to the USD reserve, however, has come without a BTC purchase from Strategy. According to the filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the firm funded the expansion using sales of its MSTR at-the-market (ATM) stock offering.<\/p>\n<p>Strategy\u2019s USD reserve now holds around $2.19 billion, while its Bitcoin treasury is unchanged from last week\u2019s figure of 671,268 BTC (worth $60.24 billion at the current exchange rate).<\/p>\n<p>Just like how BTC buys from Strategy usually precede a Sunday X post from Saylor with an image of the company\u2019s portfolio tracker, the same tradition appears to be forming for USD reserve expansions as well.<\/p>\n<p>Before the initial announcement, Saylor made the portfolio tracker post with the caption: \u201cWhat if we start adding green dots?\u201d The chairman usually uses \u201corange dots\u201d when referring to BTC, so this immediately hinted that something new was brewing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGreen dots\u201d turned out to be additions to the USD reserve. The Sunday post before the latest purchase also used the same terminology, as Saylor said, \u201cGreen Dots \u20bfeget Orange Dots.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Strategy continues to be by far the biggest Bitcoin treasury company in the world, as data from <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcointreasuries.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">BitcoinTreasuries.net<\/a> shows.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-647851 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/data.png?w=506&amp;resize=506%2C248\" alt=\"Bitcoin Treasuries\" width=\"506\" height=\"248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/data.png?w=506 506w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/data.png?w=130 130w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 506px) 100vw, 506px\"><\/p>\n<p>Strategy isn\u2019t the only cryptocurrency treasury firm that has made an announcement on Monday. <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitmine-shopping-ethereum-dips-140m-buy-on-chain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">Bitmine<\/a> has also shared a new<a href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/in\/news-releases\/bitmine-immersion-bmnr-announces-eth-holdings-reach-4-066-million-tokens-and-total-crypto-and-total-cash-holdings-of-13-2-billion-302647765.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"> press release<\/a> with an update for its Ethereum holdings.<\/p>\n<p>Originally a mining-focused company, Bitmine pivoted to an ETH treasury strategy in mid-2025.
