The investment follows a purchase made just before Bitcoin’s price fell below $65,000. Since August 2020, Strategy has been bullish on Bitcoin, investing nearly $54.6 billion into the cryptocurrency. Currently, the total value of their Bitcoin assets is estimated at $47.4 billion.

Saylor previously stated that the company could withstand a downturn to as low as $8,000 per Bitcoin without compromising its financial stability.

BitMine Financial Updates

Meanwhile, BitMine announced that its reserves have reached $9.6 billion, which includes a mix of cryptocurrencies and other investments.

As of February 22, BitMine holds:

  • 4.42 million ETH, representing 3.66% of the market supply;
  • 193 BTC;
  • $691 million in cash;
  • $200 million in shares from Beast Industries;
  • $17 million in shares from Eightco Holdings.

Last week, the company acquired 51,162 ETH, taking advantage of the price drop. Chairman Tom Lee indicated that this decline presented a favorable opportunity to enhance their reserves.

BitMine is also actively generating revenue from its assets, with 3.04 million ETH currently staked, yielding an annual return of $171 million at a rate of 2.89%. They plan to launch their validator network, MAVAN, in 2026, potentially increasing staking revenue to $249 million per year.

Earlier in February, BitMine reported a paper loss of $6.95 billion, reflecting the volatile nature of the cryptocurrency market.
