The Tysons Corner, Virginia company formerly known as MicroStrategy bought 7,633 BTC in the week ended Feb. 9, Executive Chairman Michael Saylor posted on X. The average purchase price was $97,255 per bitcoin, which raised the overall average purchase price to $65,033
The company didn't buy any bitcoin in the week ended Feb. 2, most likely because it was observing a blackout period during its earnings week. On Feb. 6, the company reported a fourth-quarter net loss of $3.03 per share, compared with income of $0.50 per share a year earlier.
According to the 8-K filing, the bitcoin purchases were made using proceeds from the sale of shares under the sales agreement and the perpetual preferred equity offering of Strike (STRK).
Saylor teased the purchase announcement once again on Sunday, as he has for the past few months: "Death to the blue lines. Long live the green dots."

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
