Strategy, the Bitcoin treasury firm associated with Michael Saylor, bought 535 BTC for about $43 million, lifting its reported holdings to roughly 818,869 BTC, according to recent filings and coverage ^{[1] [2] [3]}.

The purchase resumed the company's buying streak after a roughly one‑week pause; Saylor announced the return to buying in a Monday post and the acquisition was disclosed in filings reported by multiple outlets ^{[3] [4]}.

The buy comes days after Saylor signaled that limited Bitcoin sales could be used to fund dividends, and reporting notes that last week’s purchases were financed by sales of the company’s common stock ^{[5] [1]}.

Following the 535 BTC acquisition, Strategy’s publicly reported bitcoin treasury stands at about 818,869 BTC as of the filings cited ^[2].
