Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, has continued its Bitcoin acquisition streak, purchasing an additional 3,459 BTC for $285.8 million. The Virginia-based company paid an average price of $82,618 per Bitcoin in purchases made between April 7 and April 13, according to an SEC filing on Monday.
This latest acquisition brings Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings to 531,644 BTC, worth approximately $45 billion at current prices. The company has now accumulated more than 2.5% of Bitcoin’s total 21 million supply, further cementing its position as the largest corporate holder of the cryptocurrency.
$MSTR has acquired 3,459 BTC for ~$285.8 million at ~$82,618 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 11.4% YTD 2025. As of 4/13/2025, @Strategy holds 531,644 $BTC acquired for ~$35.92 billion at ~$67,556 per bitcoin. https://t.co/IUbf4TFD3d
The purchase was funded using proceeds from the sale of Strategy’s class A common stock. The company sold 959,712 MSTR shares for approximately $285.7 million last week. As of April 13, Strategy still has $2.08 billion worth of MSTR shares available for issuance and sale.
Market Reaction and Price Targets
Bitcoin is currently trading at around $85,024, showing a 1% increase over the past day and 5.4% gain over the past week. This modest price movement comes despite ongoing concerns about how the Trump-induced trade war, especially with China, might affect markets.
Market observers remain optimistic about Bitcoin’s price trajectory. Analyst Jamie Coutts predicts that an increase in the money supply could push Bitcoin beyond $132,000 by the end of 2025. Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has set an even higher target, suggesting Bitcoin could reach $250,000 before 2026.
Strategy’s stock (MSTR) has shown strong performance recently, closing up 10.2% on Friday at $299.98. The stock gained 15.3% last week amid market turbulence related to tariff concerns. After surging more than 568% in 2024, MSTR is currently near break-even for 2025.
Growing Corporate Bitcoin Adoption
While Strategy continues to lead in corporate Bitcoin holdings, other companies are increasingly adding the cryptocurrency to their balance sheets. Japanese investment firm Metaplanet, often called “Asia’s MicroStrategy,” purchased 319 Bitcoin on Monday for $26.3 million, bringing its total holdings to 4,525 BTC.
Metaplanet has ambitious plans to increase its Bitcoin holdings by 470%, targeting a total of 10,000 BTC by year-end. The Tokyo-listed company is currently the 10th largest Bitcoin holder among publicly traded companies.
Other recent corporate adopters include Semler Scientific and GameStop, which have also begun adding Bitcoin to their treasury reserves. According to Bitwise data, public companies’ Bitcoin holdings increased by 16.11% quarter-over-quarter, now totaling 694,453 BTC or 3.3% of the total supply.
Twelve public companies, excluding Strategy, purchased Bitcoin in Q1 2025. This uptick in corporate adoption follows the SEC’s decision to drop the SAB 121 accounting rule, which previously made crypto custody financially unattractive for US firms.
Under the previous rule, banks offering crypto custody services had to record both a liability and a corresponding asset for crypto held on behalf of customers, valued at fair market price. The removal of this rule has made it easier for US companies to hold digital assets.
In a post on social platform X (formerly Twitter), Strategy co-founder and Executive Chairman Michael Saylor hinted at the purchase before the official announcement, stating, “No tariffs on orange dots,” referring to how Bitcoin purchases appear on Saylor Tracker.
Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings tower over the next largest corporate holder, Bitcoin mining company Marathon Digital, which owns approximately 47,500 BTC. Strategy’s focus has shifted from software development to becoming a Bitcoin treasury firm, issuing billions in debt to fund its acquisitions.
Despite its aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy, Strategy disclosed nearly $6 billion in unrealized losses for Q1 after spending about $7.66 billion to acquire 80,715 BTC at an average price of around $94,922. Q1 2025 saw Bitcoin’s worst quarterly performance since 2018, dropping nearly A12%.
According to analysts at research firm Bernstein, Strategy’s debt remains manageable, with leverage under 13% and no payments due until 2028. They predict that Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings could double to over 1 million BTC by the end of 2033.
The purchase comes at a time of heightened market uncertainty, with investors navigating concerns about US trade tariffs and their potential impact on global markets. However, recent announcements that smartphones and computers would be exempt from sweeping levies on Chinese goods have helped tech stocks recover.
