The purchase, reportedly made at an average price of $123,561 per Bitcoin, came as the flagship cryptocurrency soared to a record $126,200 on Oct. 7 before retreating to around $107,000 in Friday’s flash crash, based on data from Coinbase.

Total Bitcoin holdings now valued at over $47 billion

With this latest acquisition, Strategy’s total Bitcoin stash has reached 640,250 BTC, accumulated at an average purchase price of $74,000 per coin — representing a total investment of roughly $47.38 billion.

The company’s Bitcoin yield, which Saylor defines as the percentage change in the ratio between total BTC holdings and diluted shares outstanding, has climbed 25.9% year-to-date following the purchase.

Saylor stays bullish: “no tariffs on Bitcoin”

As market volatility rattled traders on Friday, largely driven by renewed China tariff threats from U.S. President Donald Trump, Saylor reaffirmed his confidence in Bitcoin’s resilience.

“No tariffs on Bitcoin,” he wrote on X, underscoring the cryptocurrency’s independence from traditional geopolitical risks.

The latest buy follows a 196 BTC purchase in late September for $22.1M as Bitcoin fell below $110,000. Following the purchase, MicroStrategy now controls 640,031 BTC valued at roughly $47.35 billion, bought at an average price of $73,983 per coin. 

Meanwhile, Michael Saylor urged U.S. regulators to establish a formal taxonomy for digital assets , warning that ongoing regulatory ambiguity threatens to stall innovation and hinder the nation’s competitiveness in the global crypto market. Saylor emphasized the urgent need to define key terms such as “digital security,” “digital commodity,” and “tokenized asset.”
