  • Bitcoin sees a strategic purchase of 8,178 BTC worth $835.6 million amid heavy market volatility.
  • Total Bitcoin holdings reached 649,870 BTC valued at $48.37 billion, highlighting sustained institutional confidence.
  • Despite Bitcoin dropping near $94,000, Saylor remains committed to a strong long-term strategy.

Bitcoin remains a key part of Michael Saylor’s vision, and he is reinforcing this plan once more while market value drifts down toward the $94,000 level. The company he runs, Strategy, has purchased 8,178 more units of bitcoin to add to its portfolio to pay a total of about $835.6 million, with each bitcoin averaging around $102,171.

This is another sign that the company is continuing its heavy accumulation strategy, deciding to make purchases during strong market fluctuations rather than holding back.

This acquisition has led to Strategy being in control of 649,870 BTC valued at approximately $48.37 billion, with an average purchase price per Bitcoin of approximately $74,433. Additionally, according to Saylor, the 2025 BTC return is already 27.8% Year-to-Date, highlighting that short-term market fluctuations have not affected their long-term strategy.

The news is particularly timely, given that it has occurred during one of the steepest descents that Bitcoin has faced this year, and rather than being moved to show caution, Strategy saw it as an opportunity to expand its reserves. This is because it believes that market downturns are where one should buy rather than where one is afraid to tread.

Bitcoin Holds Ground, Institutions Accumulate

At press time, BTC is trading at $95,380 after momentarily dropping below $94,000. The market indicators show strong indications of being under pressure, with the daily RSI value touching 32, which is an indication that the market is due for a buy, while the MACD is still negative.

Yet, according to some analysts, these conditions tend to show up ahead of minor periods of market recovery, particularly while big institutional buyers are involved. Yet, any kind of market recovery is in limbo due to prevailing selling pressure.

The big takeaway here is market fear vs. business confidence. Individual market players are worried about what is transpiring on charts, while Strategy, which owns more BTC than any other company, keeps adding more Bitcoins to its list without any inhibitions.

As the market enters what could prove to be a more turbulent time, there is likely to be interest in how other blue-chip organizations decide to proceed, or indeed wait to see what develops first. For the time being, there is one certain thing: Strategy is not holding back on BTC; it is betting big.

Saudi Awwal Bank Adopts Chainlink Tools, LINK Near $23

The post Saudi Awwal Bank Adopts Chainlink Tools, LINK Near $23 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. SAB adopts Chainlink’s CCIP and CRE to expand tokenization and cross-border finance tools. SAB and Wamid target $2.32T Saudi capital markets with blockchain-based tokenization plans. LINK price falls 2.43% to $22.99 despite higher trading volume and steady liquidity ratios. Saudi Awwal Bank has added Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) and the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) to its digital strategy. CCIP links assets and data across multiple blockchains, while CRE provides banks with a controlled framework to test and deploy new financial applications. The lender, with more than $100 billion in assets, is applying the tools to tokenized assets, cross-border settlement, and automated credit platforms. The move signals that Chainlink’s infrastructure is being adopted at scale inside regulated finance.

The focus is on equities and debt products, opening the door for blockchain-based issuance and settlement. SAB has already executed the world’s first Islamic repo on distributed ledger technology, in collaboration with Oumla earlier this year. That transaction gave regulators a template for compliant on-chain contracts. The Wamid deal builds directly on that precedent, shifting from single-instrument pilots toward broader capital markets integration. Saudi Blockchain Buildout Gains Pace Saudi institutions are building multiple layers of digital infrastructure. Oumla is working with Avalanche to develop the Kingdom’s first domestically hosted Layer 1 blockchain. SAB’s Chainlink adoption adds an interoperability and execution layer on top. Together, these projects are shaping a domestic framework for tokenization, with global connectivity added only where liquidity requires it.
