Strategy buys over 22,000 Bitcoin in December as RWAs exceed $19B, signaling strong institutional interest and long-term growth.
Despite a 4% decline in Bitcoin’s price in December, Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin investment vehicle, Strategy, continued its aggressive accumulation strategy.
In December alone, the company added over 22,000 BTC to its holdings, bringing its total to approximately 672,500 BTC.
This acquisition comes as real-world assets (RWAs) also saw a significant rise, surpassing $19 billion, driven largely by tokenized US Treasuries and other commodities.
As the market faces volatility, Strategy’s consistent investment highlights its long-term confidence in Bitcoin’s future.
Strategy’s Continued Bitcoin Accumulation
In December 2025, Strategy made its largest monthly Bitcoin purchase of the year, acquiring 22,628 BTC. This marked the continuation of its aggressive strategy to build Bitcoin reserves despite market dips.
With this purchase, Strategy now holds approximately 3.2% of the total Bitcoin supply, a substantial position in the market.

Throughout 2025, Strategy disclosed Bitcoin purchases in 41 separate weeks, compared to just 18 weeks in 2024.
This aggressive accumulation trend shows that Strategy has been actively investing during periods of market weakness. These moves reflect Michael Saylor’s belief in Bitcoin as a store of value and a key asset for the future.
Other companies have followed Strategy’s example, with 192 public companies now holding almost 1.1 million BTC. This shift toward holding Bitcoin on corporate balance sheets has become a growing trend, signaling a larger institutional embrace of cryptocurrency.
Bitcoin’s Price Slump and Market Outlook
Bitcoin’s price dropped by 4% in December, ending the year lower than its starting point of $94,000. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $88,000, significantly below its peak of $124,000 in October 2025.
Despite the recent downturn, Bitcoin’s price remains higher than many traders had expected.
Some analysts believe Bitcoin could fall further, potentially hitting $40,000, if the four-year boom-and-bust cycle continues. However, others, including Nick Ruck of LVRG Research, are optimistic.
Ruck points to institutional demand, particularly through Bitcoin ETFs and corporate treasuries, as a key factor in supporting Bitcoin’s long-term price stability.
While Bitcoin faces near-term challenges, many analysts remain bullish on its longer-term prospects. Structural inflows from institutional investors are expected to support its price well into 2026 and beyond.

RWAs Surpass $19 Billion in Value
Real-world assets (RWAs) saw impressive growth in December, surpassing $19 billion in total distributed asset value.
A significant portion of this growth was driven by tokenized US Treasuries, which now represent $8.7 billion of the total RWA value. Commodities follow closely, with $3.5 billion in tokenized assets.
RWAs have now overtaken decentralized exchanges (DEXs) to become the fifth-largest asset category in decentralized finance (DeFi). This marks a significant shift, as tokenized Treasurys and commodities are gaining greater traction in the DeFi ecosystem.

Despite this growth, liquidity remains a challenge for RWAs. Experts like Vincent Liu of Kronos Research note that while tokenization itself is no longer the main constraint, achieving liquidity and better integration into traditional financial markets will be key for further expansion.
