Michael Saylor's company, MicroStrategy, recently further expanded its holdings with the acquisition of 397 Bitcoin, worth approximately $45,6 million. This occurred at an average price of $114.771 per coin, as shown in a recent filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. This brings the company's total Bitcoin holdings to 641.205, acquired for an impressive $47,49 billion, with an average purchase price of $74.047 per Bitcoin. The year-to-date (YTD) return is 26,1%.

However, the past week was remarkable compared to previous periods. In the same context, MicroStrategy also purchased 390 Bitcoin for $43,3 million the previous week, bringing the October total to 778. BTC brings. This is one of the smallest monthly acquisitions in recent years. For comparison, in September the company acquired a whopping 3.526 Bitcoin, a 78% increase compared to October's purchases.

Impact of Institutional Demand on Fat Prices

Analysts point out that this decline in buying could negatively impact Bitcoin's price recovery. Both MicroStrategy's purchases and demand from US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are the main drivers of demand in 2025, according to the analytics platform CryptoQuant. This platform predicts that Bitcoin's price will only return to its previous high when these entities resume their large-scale accumulations.

According to Ki Young Ju, founder and CEO of CryptoQuant, current demand is primarily driven by ETFs and MicroStrategy, both of which have recently slowed their purchases. "If these two channels resume their purchases, market momentum will likely increase as well," he noted in a recent post. This observation underscores the need for active institutional involvement in the market recovery.

Current developments within MicroStrategy and broader institutional demand are crucial for investors following the dynamics of the crypto market. The questions now arising are not only of economic importance; they also highlight the complexity of the investment landscape in this innovative sector.
