Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) officially announced the purchase of an additional $1.4 billion worth of the cryptocurrency on Monday. This latest acquisition marks one of the firm’s largest Bitcoin investments to date and was widely anticipated after Michael Saylor, Strategy’s co-founder, hinted at a significant buy over the weekend.
Despite the size of the purchase, Bitcoin’s price has shown minimal immediate reaction, maintaining stability around the $95,000 mark.

Strategy Adds to Its Growing Bitcoin Treasure Chest
Strategy’s recent acquisition marks one of its largest single Bitcoin purchases to date. The company bought an additional 15,355 BTC between April 21 and April 27, with an average price per Bitcoin of $92,737.
This purchase was funded through proceeds generated by selling over $4 billion worth of Class A common stock and more than 435,000 shares of preferred stock series STRK. As a result, only $128.7 million of the company’s initial $21 billion ATM (at-the-market) offering remains.
The latest purchase brings Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings to an astonishing 553,555 BTC, reflecting a 2.64% share of the maximum Bitcoin supply, which is capped at 21 million coins. The firm’s average purchasing price across its holdings now stands at $68,459 per Bitcoin, positioning it at a strong advantage given Bitcoin’s current market value.
Michael Saylor commented on the achievement:
“As of April 27, we hodl 553,555 BTC acquired for approximately $37.90 billion at $68,459 per Bitcoin.”
Strategy’s Dominance in Corporate Bitcoin Holdings
The strategic approach by Strategy has not only increased its Bitcoin reserves but also catapulted its market capitalization beyond $100 billion. With Bitcoin’s price hovering around $95,000, the current market value of Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings now exceeds $52 billion, firmly establishing it as the world’s largest corporate holder of Bitcoin.
Previously operating as MicroStrategy, the company rebranded to Strategy and has aggressively pursued Bitcoin as its core financial strategy since 2020. This philosophy has played a major role in driving investor confidence.
In addition to this purchase, Strategy’s overall BTC yield for the year stands at 13.7%, a key performance indicator showcasing the return on its Bitcoin holdings relative to its share structure. In 2024, the company achieved a remarkable BTC yield of 74% and has set a target of reaching a 15% BTC yield by the end of 2025.
Other Companies Join the Bitcoin Race
While Strategy leads in Bitcoin acquisitions, several other companies have recently made significant moves into the cryptocurrency market. Twenty One Capital, a new investment firm launched in April 2025 through a SPAC merger with Cantor Equity Partners, entered the scene with massive backing. Tether and Bitfinex contributed over 42,000 BTC, valued at around $4 billion, to Twenty One Capital, while SoftBank invested $891 million for a minority stake. Jack Mallers, known for his work in Bitcoin services, heads the new firm.
Block Inc., formerly known as Square and founded by Jack Dorsey, has continued its commitment to Bitcoin as well. As of April 2025, Block holds over 8,000 BTC, valued at approximately $800 million. The company’s early and sustained Bitcoin investments have positioned it as one of the key corporate players in the crypto market.
Rumble, a video streaming platform, also made headlines after adopting a Bitcoin treasury reserve strategy. By March 2025, Rumble had acquired about 188 BTC, valued at $17.1 million. This move was supported by a $775 million investment from Tether, demonstrating strong confidence in crypto-backed business strategies.

Strategy’s Long-Term Vision
Looking ahead, Strategy shows no signs of slowing down its Bitcoin acquisition. The firm’s plan to increase its BTC yield to 15% in 2025 indicates ongoing confidence in Bitcoin as a superior store of value compared to traditional assets.
Strategy’s approach stands as a model for other corporations considering Bitcoin treasury strategies. With substantial profits on existing holdings and an aggressive yet calculated accumulation plan, the firm continues to pioneer how businesses can interact with digital assets.
