Strategy executes a $963 million capital injection into Bitcoin, confirming one of its largest weekly acquisitions of 2025. The acquisition, which secured 10,624 BTC at an average price of $90,615, is widely seen on institutional desks as a strategic validation of the “digital credit” banking model that Michael Saylor proposed for sovereign wealth funds this week.
Strategy acquired 10,624 BTC for approximately $962.7 million at approximately $90,615 per Bitcoin, achieving a 24.7% BTC yield on a 2025 basis. As of December 7, 2025, it acquired $660,624 BTC at approximately $74,696 per Bitcoin for approximately $49.35 billion. $MSTR $STRC $STRK $STRF $STRD $STRE https://t.co/4rCL87nbYk

Bank capitalization: 660,624 BTC balance sheet
According to regulatory filings, the acquisition increases the company’s total treasury to 660,624 BTC, accumulating approximately $49.35 billion at an average cost basis of $74,696 per coin.
Importantly, the deal underscores the effectiveness of Saylor’s capital markets strategy. By financing the purchase through equity and bond issuance, Strategy reported a year-to-date Bitcoin yield of 24.7%.
Analysts say the metric is a “killer app” for digital credit marketing, proving to banks and governments around the world that companies can actively increase their Bitcoin per share value, rather than just passively holding it.

Aggressive cumulative returns
This purchase marks the most aggressive addition since late July, when Strategy acquired over 21,000 BTC in a single move. The company has spent the last few weeks raising small amounts of less than 500 BTC, keeping its average entry price favorable during the short-term pullback. Additionally, Executive Chairman Michael Saylor hinted at renewed buying intent earlier in the week, increasing expectations for a major deal.

This purchase activity also resolved Polymarket’s predicted pair, sharply increasing the probability of a purchase of over 1,000 BTC. Many large traders were on the other side of the market, showing how unexpected the timing was. However, the company’s accumulation strategy was consistent and continued regardless of short-term market noise.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading around $90,735, up 2.27% in 24 hours and 5.65% for the week. Coin Bureau noted that long-term holders decreased to 14.33 million BTC in November. This level was the lowest level since March and suggested that the sell-off may have ended as Bitcoin regained the $80,000 area.
As a result, analysts noted an improvement in trend signals. Crypto Tony reported that Bitcoin regained the important $89,050 level, which activated a long setup. Price is currently targeting the $90,200 region where traders are expecting a strong decision. Failure to break out of this zone could send the market towards $89,300 before buyers attempt to move higher.
