Helmed by Executive Chairman Michael Saylor, Strategy has again added to its massive Bitcoin stockpile.

In the week ending October 19, the Bitcoin treasury firm bought 168 BTC for $18.8 million at an average purchase price of $112,051, increasing its overall average purchase price to $74,010.

Strategy Makes Another Small Step Toward 700K BTC

The Tysons Corner, Virginia-based firm said it now owns 640,418 Bitcoin, which was worth around $70.8 billion based on current prices. For perspective, Strategy’s stack represents over 3% of Bitcoin’s total 21 million. 

In recent months, when Strategy has raised proceeds solely from selling preferred shares, its corresponding Bitcoin purchases have been smaller than periods in which it issues common shares at a premium to relative its Bitcoin holdings to boost its holdings.

The firm’s latest Bitcoin acquisition was funded with proceeds from selling $5.1 million worth of STRK, $11.2 million worth of STRF, and $2.6 million worth of STRD.

The latest Bitcoin buy followed a 220 BTC purchase for $27 million during the previous week, which came as BTC briefly smashed a new record high above $126,000 before nosediving to $110,000 in the Oct. 10 market flash crash.

While Strategy’s Bitcoin buying has slowed notably in recent months, many publicly listed firms have mirrored its strategy with BTC treasury plans, aggressively accumulating the alpha crypto. Tokyo-listed Metaplanet, which adopted BTC as a treasury asset in July 2024, had amassed 30,823 BTC (valued at $34.3 billion) by September 30th.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
