Bitcoin Surges Past 115k 370 Million In Shorts Wiped Out Altcoins Breakout

In a surprising slowdown, Michael Saylor’s Strategy, the world’s largest public Bitcoin holder, recorded its weakest buying month of 2025, acquiring only 778 BTC in October a 78% drop from September’s 3,526 BTC.

According to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Strategy purchased 390 BTC worth $43.3 million last week at an average price of $111,117 per coin. This brings the company’s total holdings to 640,808 BTC, bought for approximately $47.4 billion at an average price of $74,032 per BTC.

Analysts attribute the slowdown to capital-raising challenges, with equity issuance premiums falling drastically from 208% to just 4%, according to CryptoQuant’s JA Maartun. “Strategy is no longer buying big  but they’re still buying,” Maartun noted, emphasizing that the firm’s long-term faith in Bitcoin remains intact despite financial pressures.

Even with reduced activity, 2025 remains Strategy’s strongest year yet, with over $19.5 billion already spent on Bitcoin purchases  nearing last year’s record of $21.7 billion. The latest acquisition comes as Strategy’s stock (MSTR) dipped below $280, down from July’s peak of $456, indicating broader market caution.

Despite the cooling pace, the company’s steady accumulation signals continued institutional confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term value.

While October saw Strategy’s slowest Bitcoin accumulation of the year, the firm’s unwavering commitment to digital assets reflects a broader institutional belief in Bitcoin’s long-term growth potential. With two months left in 2025, all eyes are on whether Saylor’s Strategy will break its previous annual investment record.
