Bitcoin treasury firm Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, has significantly expanded its Bitcoin holdings once again. In a move underscoring its commitment to a Bitcoin-centric strategy, the company acquired an additional 15,355 BTC over the past week, spending approximately $1.42 billion at an average price of $92,737 per Bitcoin, according to an SEC filing on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The acquisition brings Strategy\u2019s total Bitcoin holdings to an impressive 553,555 BTC, now valued at more than $52 billion at Bitcoin\u2019s current price just above $95,000. With this purchase, Strategy now controls more than 2.6% of Bitcoin\u2019s fixed 21 million coin supply, further solidifying its status as the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Strategy’s cumulative average purchase price for Bitcoin now stands at $68,459 per coin, reflecting a total investment of around $37.9 billion, including fees. The company’s aggressive accumulation strategy continues to pay off, especially amid Bitcoin’s recent price rebound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shares of Strategy (MSTR) closed 5.2% higher at $368.71 on Friday and added another 1.42% in pre-market trading on Monday. Year-to-date, MSTR shares have climbed nearly 23%, buoyed by Bitcoin\u2019s rally and increasing institutional interest in Bitcoin-focused firms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While Strategy continues to dominate the corporate Bitcoin landscape, competition is heating up. Notable financial heavyweights such as Cantor Fitzgerald, SoftBank, Bitfinex, and Tether have announced a $3.6 billion Bitcoin venture. Meanwhile, new players like Twenty One Capital, led by Strike CEO Jack Mallers, are entering the space with Bitcoin-native business strategies, signaling a broadening corporate embrace of the cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The latest Bitcoin purchase was funded through the sale of Strategy\u2019s Class A common stock and perpetual preferred stock. Between April 21 and April 27, the company sold approximately 4 million shares of MSTR, raising about $1.4 billion. Additionally, Strategy sold over 435,000 shares of STRK, generating $37.5 million in proceeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As of now, only $128.7 million worth of MSTR shares remain available for issuance under the company’s current program. The move follows Strategy\u2019s addition of 6,556 BTC for $555 million just a week earlier, highlighting the company’s sustained and aggressive approach toward growing its Bitcoin reserves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Strategy\u2019s relentless Bitcoin accumulation strategy continues to set the pace for institutional involvement in the crypto sector. With Bitcoin poised to break above $100,000 and institutional interest at historic highs, Strategy\u2019s bold bet may continue to yield significant returns as the year unfolds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
