Strategy acquires 4,225 BTC, pushes Bitcoin treasury toward $73B in recent buying spree
Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) said it purchased 4,225 Bitcoin for approximately $472.5 million between July 7 and 13, according to a July 14 statement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The acquisition, made at an average price of $111,827 per Bitcoin, brings the company’s total holdings to 601,550 BTC. These assets were acquired for $42.87 billion, at an average cost of $71,268 per coin.
As of press time, Strategy’s Bitcoin treasury is worth $72.74 billion, representing a nearly 70% gain based on current market prices.
Strategy sold various classes of stock to fund the purchase, including 797,008 shares of its MSTR common stock for $330.9 million. The firm also raised $141.4 million from preferred stock sales: $71.1 million from STRK, $55.3 million from STRF, and $15 million from STRD.
Crypto analyst Ragnar noted:
“The market was open 32.5 hours last week. So MSTR raised $14.53 million per hour and $242,205 per minute while the market was open. Incredible performance if you compare it with other treasury companies.”
As of July 13, the preferred stock instruments have an estimated $7.35 billion annual run rate and have helped the company achieve a Bitcoin Yield of 20.2% year-to-date. This yield reflects the ratio of BTC holdings to diluted shares and is used to measure value creation from BTC without liquidating assets.

Apple Pre-sale Tracker: iPhone 18 Pro Series Shows Weak Overseas Demand Signals, Duo Review Positive but Hardware Lags Behind
According to a survey by Jefferies, after the launch of the iPhone 18 Pro, delivery wait times in the four major markets—the US, UK, Germany, and Japan—have shortened by 5 to 11 days compared to last year, with no wait time in the US. Given stable production capacity, this is a clear sign of weak demand. Although the China and Hong Kong markets have performed better against the trend, there are still suspicions of speculative stockpiling. The new foldable Duo has been praised for its software experience, but its $2,000 price tag comes with a 254-gram body and dual-camera setup, leaving its hardware lagging significantly behind Android competitors. Jefferies maintains an "underperform" rating, with a target price implying a 21% downside from the current level.
