Strategy acquires 1,229 BTC in final purchase of 2025

Strategy completed its last weekly purchase of BTC for 2025, with a relatively small addition of 1,229 BTC. The company returned to buying BTC after securing over $2.1B in US dollar reserves. 

Strategy announced the last BTC purchase for 2025, adding another 1,229 BTC to its treasury. The relatively small purchase follows two weeks of adding more than $10K BTC, as well as two large-scale MSTR sales to secure $2.1B in US dollar reserves. 

The latest purchase was once again pre-announced by the company’s Executive Chairman Michael Saylor, mentioning a return to “orange dots.” 

Strategy acquired the BTC at an average price of $88,568 per BTC, leading to an average purchase price of just below $75,000 per BTC. In 2025, the company acquired around 641 BTC per day on average. 

Strategy was the main BTC buyer in 2025

Strategy remains the main buyer for 2025, though smaller companies are also growing their treasuries. For the past year, entering the top 100 of treasury companies has become a harder milestone, initially requiring as low as 23 BTC. At the end of 2025, the smallest corporate treasury holds 148 BTC. 

Companies keep acquiring BTC sporadically or through mining. Strategy and 17 other buyers are still attempting to apply the playbook with stock sales and debt to buy BTC. In total, companies accumulated 1,089,345 BTC close to the end of 2025, with more buying plans for the coming year. 

Saylor used MSTR common stock again

Strategy continues to issue MSTR common stock, despite the ongoing fears of dilution. To complete the latest sale, it issued an additional 663,450 MSTR shares. 

In the past few weeks, MSTR stayed away from issuing new convertible notes. The company tries to balance its obligations, including upcoming dividends and maturing debt. Despite some appetite for passive income, Strategy has slowed down its preferred share sales, abandoning the various risk tiers of preferred stocks.

As a result, MSTR trades close to its 12-month low again. MSTR sank to $158.44, up from a recent low of $154.12. The common stock holds a market cap just above $49B, while the BTC reserves of Strategy are still valued at over $58B.

The current BTC price of just above $88,000 has not translated into a higher price for MSTR. The playbook requirement for the common stock was to allow dilution only at a higher valuation.

The playbook would work better with an MSTR price around $379, but the common stock has not traded at a premium for months. As of December, the BTC reserves of Strategy were more valuable than the market capitalization of MSTR. 

The common stock has acted as a BTC gains multiplier in the past. However, even at the lower range, Strategy has shown its conviction in buying more BTC despite the dilution. The company has positioned itself for long-term BTC growth, with the potential to survive a bear market or sideways trading.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…

Read More: Trump-Backed Crypto Firm Eyes Asia for Bold Bitcoin Expansion Nasdaq Debut: An Explosive First Day ABTC’s first day of trading proved as dramatic as expected.
