After S&P 500 Snub, Strategy Inc Bitcoin Purchase Adds $217M and Lifts Holdings to 638,460 BTC

After S&P 500 snub, Strategy Inc Bitcoin purchase adds $217M and lifts treasury to 638,460 BTC — a sign of continued institutional demand and shows resilience.

Strategy Inc. added 1,955 BTC to its treasury on Monday, spending $217.4 million at an average price of $111,196 per coin. The move comes days after the company — formerly MicroStrategy — was passed over for S&P 500 inclusion.

The purchase brings Strategy’s total to 638,460 BTC, roughly $71.5 billion at current prices, keeping it the world’s largest publicly listed corporate Bitcoin holder. The company reported a “BTC Yield of 25.8% YTD 2025” in its Form 8‑K filing.

Strategy funded the buy through at‑the‑market equity programs, selling 591,606 common shares for net proceeds of $200.5 million alongside preferred stock sales of $16.9 million between September 2–7.

Market watchers noted the purchase arrived despite Strategy’s S&P 500 snub, with QCP Capital highlighting Bitcoin’s ability to hold above $110,000 as a sign of resilience. Bitcoin was trading near $112,000 at press time.

Other corporate and sovereign buyers remain active: Japan’s Metaplanet purchased 136 BTC for about $15.2 million, and El Salvador bought 21 BTC to mark the fourth anniversary of its Bitcoin legal‑tender law. Analysts say growing corporate treasuries create a stronger bid under the market.

Risk awareness: large corporate accumulations can tighten available supply and increase volatility; this is market activity, not investment advice.
