Strategy, a major corporate Bitcoin holder, purchased 1,229 BTC at an average price of $88,568 during the week ending December 28, 2025, investing about $108.8 million amid a price dip below $88,000. This adds to their ongoing accumulation strategy, achieving a 23.2% BTC yield year-to-date despite market volatility, though their average acquisition cost sits around $100,000 per token.
Market Context
Bitcoin traded near $87,736 on December 29, down 0.16% with a daily range of $86,675-$90,325, reflecting holiday thin liquidity and Nasdaq futures weakness. The buy occurred as BTC reversed early gains past $90,000, dropping below $88,000 on correlated equity sell-offs and year-end tax pressures.
Peter Schiff's Critique
Gold advocate Peter Schiff dismissed the purchase as ill-timed, arguing Bitcoin remains overvalued and prone to further declines versus gold's stability, continuing his long-standing bearish stance on BTC. He views such institutional buys as speculative rather than fundamental value plays.
Investor Signals
This move underscores corporate conviction in BTC's long-term potential despite short-term noise, aligning with whale accumulation patterns seen earlier in December. Binance Square discussions frame it as bullish for 2026, contrasting retail fear with strategic dip-buying.
