With its latest purchase, Strategy now holds a staggering $64 billion worth of BTC, making it by far the world\u2019s most aggressive corporate holder. But the real story isn\u2019t just the size of its hoard, it\u2019s the Russell Top 200 Value Index inclusion, marking perhaps the clearest sign yet that Wall Street views Bitcoin as a legitimate value asset.<\/p>\n

On June 30, Strategy announced<\/a> the acquisition of 4,980 new Bitcoin (BTC) for approximately $531.9 million, paying an average of $106,801 per BTC. The purchase, executed as Bitcoin traded near all-time highs, brings the company\u2019s total holdings to 597,325 BTC.<\/p>\n

Strategy\u2019s Bitcoin treasury is worth roughly $42.4 billion at an average cost basis of $70,982 per coin, or $64.2 billion at the current price of $107,732 per BTC, according to crypto.news data.<\/p>\n

The move extends Strategy\u2019s unbroken streak of aggressive Bitcoin acquisitions since August 2020, reinforcing its thesis that BTC serves as a superior treasury reserve asset. Year-to-date, the company\u2019s Bitcoin holdings have generated a 19.7% yield, outpacing traditional equity benchmarks.<\/p>\n

The acquisition coincided with Strategy\u2019s inclusion in the Russell Top 200 Value Index, a benchmark typically dominated by financials, energy giants, and consumer staples.<\/p>\n

Decoding Strategy\u2019s Russell Top 200 Value Index inclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n

According to index provider FTSE Russell, Strategy has been added to the Russell Top 200 Value Index, an exclusive club of large-cap U.S. companies traditionally defined by stable earnings, low price-to-book ratios, and reliable dividends.<\/p>\n

The inclusion is a watershed moment for Bitcoin\u2019s maturation as an institutional asset, placing a company holding 597,325 BTC alongside blue-chip value stocks like Berkshire Hathaway, JPMorgan Chase, and ExxonMobil.<\/p>\n

The juxtaposition is jarring but telling. While these companies generate cash flows from tangible assets or services, Strategy\u2019s value proposition hinges on a digital asset with no earnings, suggesting that in an era of fiscal uncertainty, Bitcoin\u2019s programmatic scarcity is being priced like a hard asset.<\/p>\n

The index\u2019s methodology, which prioritizes low P\/E ratios and book value, makes Strategy\u2019s inclusion even more striking. The company\u2019s 19.7% BTC yield in 2025 likely offset concerns about its lack of conventional value metrics, signaling that scarcity itself is becoming a measurable financial primitive.<\/p>\n

The inclusion is also a litmus test for how Wall Street now views crypto-native treasury models. For years, critics dismissed corporate BTC treasuries as gimmicks. Now, with a 19.7% YTD yield and a seat at the value investing table, the argument is shifting.<\/p>\n

The question is no longer whether Bitcoin belongs on a balance sheet\u2014but how many will follow Strategy\u2019s lead.<\/p>\n
