Strategy buys an additional 217 million USD in Bitcoin, despite being rejected by S&P 500

Strategy has just announced the purchase of an additional 1.955 $BTC at a price of 217.4 million USD, increasing the total amount of Bitcoin held to 638,460 BTC, worth approximately 71.5 billion USD. This move comes just days after the company was rejected from being included in the S&P 500 index, demonstrating Michael Saylor's determination in the strategy of accumulating Bitcoin.

The Bitcoin market proves resilient

The fact that Bitcoin has maintained a price above 110,000 USD despite this event has proven the resilience of the market. Investors were not affected by the decision of #SP500 and continue to trust in Bitcoin's potential. Strategy acquired this BTC through the sale of stocks and preferred shares, continuing to implement its Bitcoin strategy as a treasury asset, yielding a 25.8% return since the beginning of 2025 for shareholders.

Positive trends among businesses

The decision of #strategy is not an isolated case. Japan's Metaplanet also purchased an additional 136 BTC on the same day, while El Salvador celebrated the 4th anniversary of the Bitcoin law by acquiring an additional 21 BTC. These actions indicate a growing trend of listed companies and countries actively accumulating Bitcoin. Experts believe that these companies have accumulated over one million BTC, creating a "solid buying foundation" for Bitcoin in the long term.
