Strategy Makes $1.25 Billion Bitcoin Purchase Ahead of CLARITY Act Markup

Michael Saylor’s Strategy has added another substantial Bitcoin purchase as it approaches the 700,000 BTC milestone.

According to a recent SEC filing, the company acquired 13,627 BTC for $1.25 billion, averaging $91,519 per Bitcoin. This brings Strategy’s total holdings to 687,410 BTC, acquired for $51.80 billion at an average price of $75,353 per BTC. The purchase was funded through proceeds from selling 1.2 million STRC shares and 6.8 million MSTR shares, generating net proceeds of $119.1 million and $1.13 billion, respectively.

This purchase represents Strategy’s largest Bitcoin acquisition in 2026 and its biggest since July 2025, surpassing two $1 billion purchases made in December 2025. It is also the company’s second purchase this year, following a 1,286 BTC acquisition for $116 million between December 29 and January 4. The announcement came shortly after Saylor hinted at the purchase in a post on X, sharing the company’s Bitcoin portfolio tracker with the caption “₿ig Orange.”

Strategy Strengthens Bitcoin Holdings

Bitcoin’s price continues to hover around the $90,000 level. It briefly climbed to $92,000 earlier, following news of a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, but retraced most of its gains shortly after. Meanwhile, Strategy’s stock (MSTR) remains largely flat, trading around $157, roughly the same as last week’s close.

The stock is up nearly 2% year-to-date, recovering slightly after a 2025 loss. This latest Bitcoin purchase comes ahead of the CLARITY Act markup scheduled for this week. The legislation could be a major catalyst for the crypto market if it passes committee approval and moves to the Senate floor.

Strategy’s continued accumulation signals confidence in Bitcoin despite regulatory uncertainty, positioning the company to reach its ambitious 700,000 BTC target while highlighting the market impact of corporate Bitcoin buying.

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

The post China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise China’s internet regulator has ordered the country’s biggest technology firms, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to stop purchasing Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D GPUs. According to the Financial Times, the move shuts down the last major channel for mass supplies of American chips to the Chinese market. Why Beijing Halted Nvidia Purchases Chinese companies had planned to buy tens of thousands of RTX Pro 6000D accelerators and had already begun testing them in servers. But regulators intervened, halting the purchases and signaling stricter controls than earlier measures placed on Nvidia’s H20 chip. Image: Nvidia An audit compared Huawei and Cambricon processors, along with chips developed by Alibaba and Baidu, against Nvidia’s export-approved products. Regulators concluded that Chinese chips had reached performance levels comparable to the restricted U.S. models. This assessment pushed authorities to advise firms to rely more heavily on domestic processors, further tightening Nvidia’s already limited position in China. China’s Drive Toward Tech Independence The decision highlights Beijing’s focus on import substitution — developing self-sufficient chip production to reduce reliance on U.S. supplies. “The signal is now clear: all attention is focused on building a domestic ecosystem,” said a representative of a leading Chinese tech company. Nvidia had unveiled the RTX Pro 6000D in July 2025 during CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Beijing, in an attempt to keep a foothold in China after Washington restricted exports of its most advanced chips. But momentum is shifting. Industry sources told the Financial Times that Chinese manufacturers plan to triple AI chip production next year to meet growing demand. They believe “domestic supply will now be sufficient without Nvidia.” What It Means for the Future With Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu stepping up, China is positioning itself for long-term technological independence. Nvidia, meanwhile, faces…
