Notably, the purchase came as Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies mirrored Bitcoin’s sell-off on Monday. BTC dropped below $100k and touched lows near $97,900 as risk assets sold-off amid market’s negative reaction to the unveiling of China’s AI app DeepSeek.

The bloodbath that wiped off close to $1 billion in crypto positions as liquidations mounted in 24 hours had Ethereum’s price plummeting to near $3,000. World Liberty Financial exploited the dip as a buy opportunity.

MicroStrategy also bought more BTC , adding over $1 billion of the benchmark digital asset to its rapidly growing Bitcoin haul. The firm now holds 471,107 BTC purchased for $30.4 billion at the average price of $64,511 per BTC.

Overall, World Liberty holds cryptocurrencies worth over $381 million.

In addition to the $185 million in ETH, the platform also has over $65 million in Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), more than $60 million in Lido Staked ETH (STETH) and $33 million in USDC stablecoin. The project also holds USDT, LINK, AAVE and ENA among other tokens.
