Technique, the publicly traded agency headed by Michael Saylor, is making ready for its third Bitcoin acquisition in August, persevering with a sample of standard purchases for its company treasury.
The corporate’s newest purchase happened on August 18, when it acquired 430 BTC for $51.4 million, pushing its complete holdings to 629,376 BTC—valued at over $72 billion at present costs.
Technique’s accumulating strategy

Affect on the bitcoin market
Shirish Jajodia, company treasurer, not too long ago emphasised that Technique’s shopping for strategies don’t straight have an effect on the bitcoin market value.
The corporate acquires cash by over-the-counter transactions and personal offers, avoiding spot exchanges. Jajodia said:
“Bitcoin’s buying and selling quantity is over $50 billion in any 24 hours — that’s enormous quantity. So, in case you are shopping for $1 billion over a few days, it’s not really shifting the market that a lot.”
Inventory efficiency below stress
Regardless of its ongoing bitcoin accumulation, Technique’s share value has skilled volatility, dropping to its lowest ranges since April 2025 earlier than rebounding barely.
This mirrors a broader development amongst bitcoin treasury firms through the second half of the yr.
