Bitcoin treasury firm Strategy has continued to buy despite the market downturn as it has increased its holdings by another 2,486 BTC.<\/p>\n

Strategy Has Added Bitcoin Worth $168 Million To Its Reserves<\/h2>\n

In a new post<\/a> on X, Strategy<\/a> co-founder and chairman Michael Saylor has shared the details related to the latest Bitcoin acquisition completed by the company. With this new purchase, The firm has added 2,486 BTC to its treasury at a price of $67,710 per token or $168 million in total.<\/p>\n

According to the filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the buy occurred between February 9th and 16th and was funded using proceeds from the company\u2019s STRC and MSTR at-the-market (ATM) stock offerings.<\/p>\n

Usually, Strategy drops its purchases on Mondays, but this time the announcement has come on a Tuesday instead. The reason behind it is likely to be the fact that this Monday was a federal holiday: Presidents\u2019 Day.<\/p>\n

Following the new acquisition, the treasury firm\u2019s holdings have risen to 717,131 BTC. Strategy spent a total of $54.52 billion on this stack, but at the current exchange rate of the cryptocurrency, its value is just $48.66 billion, meaning that the company\u2019s tokens are holding a net unrealized loss of more than 10.7%.<\/p>\n

Strategy\u2019s holdings have gone underwater as a result of the downturn that Bitcoin and the digital asset sector as a whole have faced in recent months. The collapse since the end of January, in particular, has taken the token\u2019s price below the firm\u2019s cost basis. At present, the company\u2019s acquisition level is sitting at $76,027.<\/p>\n

Despite its massive reserve dipping into losses, Saylor\u2019s firm doesn\u2019t appear to have given up on accumulating more Bitcoin. On Sunday, Strategy\u2019s official X handle made an X post<\/a> explaining that the company can withstand a BTC drawdown to $8,000 and still have assets left to fully cover its debt. \u201cOur plan is to equitize our convertible debt over the next 3\u20136 years,\u201d noted Saylor in a quote-repost<\/p>\n

Strategy\u2019s latest purchase was its 99th overall since the company adopted a Bitcoin treasury model back in 2020. Saylor\u2019s routine Sunday post foreshadowing the acquisition referenced this, with the chairman using the caption \u201c99>98\u201d alongside an image of the company\u2019s BTC portfolio tracker.<\/p>\n

In related news, the largest Ethereum<\/a> treasury company, BitMine<\/a>, has also announced<\/a> a new acquisition. The firm has purchased 45,759 ETH, taking its total holdings to 4,371,497 ETH, equivalent to 3.62% of the total Ethereum circulating supply.<\/p>\n

BitMine has continued to buy even as the firm\u2019s holdings have been in a significant amount of loss due to the market downturn. \u201cIn our view, the price of ETH is not reflective of the high utility of ETH and its role as the future of finance,\u201d noted Tom Lee, BitMine chairman.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is floating around $67,700, down nearly 2% in the last seven days.<\/p>\n
