Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, has expanded its Bitcoin portfolio with multiple purchases in early May 2025. According to recent SEC filings, the company acquired 6,556 Bitcoin between April 28 and May 4 at an average price of $95,167 per coin. This latest transaction brings Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings to 555,450 BTC.

The company funded these acquisitions through a mix of common and preferred stock sales. Strategy raised $128.5 million through its common stock at-the-market (ATM) program and an additional $51.8 million from the sale of STRK preferred shares.

This latest purchase exhausted the company’s previous $21 billion ATM offering that was started last year. In response, Strategy has announced a new $21 billion ATM offering to continue its Bitcoin accumulation strategy.

The Growing Bitcoin Treasury

Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings now have a market value of approximately $52 billion, with the company having invested a total of $38.08 billion at an average purchase price of $68,550 per Bitcoin. This represents an unrealized gain of around $14 billion.

Michael Saylor, co-founder of Strategy and well-known Bitcoin advocate, shared on social media that the company has achieved a year-to-date Bitcoin yield of 14.0% as of May 4, 2025. The company aims to reach a 25% return and $15 billion profit from its Bitcoin holdings this year.

Strategy has maintained a steady acquisition pace throughout 2025, often adding to its position on a weekly basis. These consistent purchases highlight the company’s long-term commitment to Bitcoin as a treasury asset.

Ambitious Growth Plans

Last week, Strategy announced plans to double its capital raising capacity, introducing the new $21 billion ATM offering and expanding its debt purchase program to $42 billion. These moves reflect the company’s dedication to enhancing its Bitcoin-heavy balance sheet.

During its latest earnings call, Strategy unveiled the “42/42 Plan,” a roadmap aimed at raising $84 billion in capital over the next two years. The plan involves splitting the funding equally between equity and fixed-income instruments, all earmarked for future Bitcoin acquisitions.

The company continues this aggressive accumulation strategy despite facing five consecutive quarterly net losses. Strategy remains the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, with its holdings representing nearly 3% of Bitcoin’s maximum supply.

These moves come amid strong institutional demand for Bitcoin, particularly through regulated investment vehicles. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) has seen large inflows in recent weeks, showing growing interest from institutional investors.

Despite the positive outlook on its Bitcoin strategy, Strategy’s shares were down 2.7% in pre-market trading on Monday, following a gain of over 3% last Thursday. The company’s stock price declined 3% to $380.06, but its long-term focus remains on Bitcoin accumulation.

Bitcoin itself is trading at around $94,207, showing a slight decrease of 1.18% in the 24-hour time frame, but gains of up to 13% in the monthly period. Trading volume has spiked over 62% despite the price dip, indicating strong market activity and sustained investor engagement.

Technical indicators for Bitcoin remain bullish. The RSI stands at 59.84, showing moderate strength without being overbought, while the MACD line stays above the signal line with a positive histogram, pointing to continued bullish momentum.
