Bitcoin News: Strategy Logs Slowest Monthly Bitcoin Buys in 2025, Adds Only 778 BTC in ‘Uptober’

Michael Saylor’s Strategy, the publicly listed Bitcoin holder, added 390 BTC last week — but October marked one of its slowest accumulation months of the year, signaling a cooling pace of corporate Bitcoin investment despite market strength.According to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Monday, Strategy purchased 390 BTC for $43.3 million at an average price of $111,117 per coin. The acquisition brings the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to 640,808 BTC, worth roughly $73.8 billion at current prices, purchased for a cumulative $47.4 billion at an average cost of $74,032 per BTC.BTC Accumulation Slows SharplyIncluding the latest purchase, Strategy bought a total of 778 BTC in October, marking a 78% drop from the 3,526 BTC acquired in September and its lowest monthly total of 2025.For comparison, the company purchased 31,466 BTC in July and 26,695 BTC in May, underscoring how sharply activity has cooled in recent months.“Strategy is no longer buying big — but they’re still buying,” said CryptoQuant analyst JA Maartun, who attributed the slowdown to capital-raising challenges, as equity issuance premiums fell from 208% to just 4%.Despite the moderation, 2025 remains Strategy’s largest Bitcoin investment year to date, with $19.53 billion deployed so far. The company has two months left to potentially surpass its 2024 record of $21.76 billion in Bitcoin purchases.Stock Performance and Market ContextStrategy’s latest buy came as its Common A stock (MSTR) fell below $280, extending a multi-month correction from July highs of around $456, according to TradingView data.The move comes amid broader market optimism, with Bitcoin trading above $113,000 and expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut next week boosting liquidity-sensitive assets.Even as its buying pace slows, Strategy’s continued accumulation reinforces its role as the largest corporate buyer of Bitcoin and a key liquidity signal for institutional sentiment in the digital asset market.
