MicroStrategy, the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, has made its most significant purchase since July 2025, acquiring 10,624 BTC for $962.7 million at an average price of $90,615 per Bitcoin. As of December 7th, the company holds 660,624 BTC, representing 3% of the total Bitcoin supply, acquired for a total of $43.35 billion at an average price of $74,696 per BTC.

The company’s business model, pioneered by founder Michael Saylor, involves purchasing cryptocurrency using funds raised through debt and equity offerings. This has inspired other firms, known as Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs). However, 2025 has been challenging for the DAT sector. According to Bloomberg, the median stock of U.S. and Canadian public DAT companies is down 43%, and 70% of these stocks are expected to finish the year lower than they started, with most companies being unprofitable.

Despite the industry's difficulties, other firms are also accumulating crypto. BitMine, the largest corporate holder of Ethereum, purchased 138,452 ETH in the first week of December, bringing its total holdings to 3,864,951 ETH ($12.1 billion), which is 3.2% of its market capitalization. The company plans to increase its reserve to 5% of the Ethereum supply.

Additionally, MicroStrategy announced the creation of a $1.4 billion dollar reserve to cover investor obligations, ensuring it would not be forced to sell its Bitcoin holdings.
