Strategy Doubles Down on Bitcoin with $286M Acquisition
Strategy, recognized as one of the largest Bitcoin custodians globally, has further bolstered its BTC assets with a new acquisition of 3,459 BTC, costing roughly $285.8 million.
Michael Saylor, via his enterprise Strategy, a tech firm, has recently procured 3,459 bitcoins for 285.5 million dollars. This latest purchase, finalized between April 7 and April 14, elevates the corporation’s total Bitcoin stash to an astonishing 531,644 BTC, as proclaimed by Saylor on the platform X. This recent venture marks Strategy’s first Bitcoin buy since March 31, when the firm had already amassed $1.9 billion in the digital asset.
The transformation from MicroStrategy to Strategy earlier in February, accompanied by a refreshed logo featuring a small Bitcoin icon, solidified this redirection in emphasis. The company disclosed in an April 14 filing that it spent about $82,618 on each Bitcoin for this most recent lot. Strategy’s cumulative Bitcoin investment now approaches approximately $35.92 billion, with the present value surpassing $45 billion based on today’s rates.
How Strategy Finance Its Acquisition
In order to finance the acquisition, Strategy divested close to 960,000 shares of its Class A common stock via its at-the-market initiative, raising approximately $285.7 million. This Strategy is in line with Executive Chairman Michael Saylor’s enduring approach of utilizing equity to secure more Bitcoin.
This acquisition occurs merely weeks after a prior purchase of 6,911 BTC between March 17 and March 23 for $584.1 million. That previous transaction elevated the company’s total holdings past the 500,000 BTC landmark for the first time. This bold accumulation approach has kept Strategy significantly ahead of other corporate Bitcoin holders such as Tesla and Block.
The company’s success is mainly on fluctuations in Bitcoin prices. Strategy’s Bitcoin assets yield an 11.4% return year-to-date for 2025, with Bitcoin trading at approximately $84,861. Strategy appears strategically positioned to persist with its Bitcoin acquisition policy. According to its SEC document, as of April 13, the company possesses $2.08 billion in common shares and $20.97 billion in STRK shares available for issuance and sale.
According to Nasdaq statistics, MicroStrategy’s shares have soared following the news of the firm’s newest Bitcoin acquisition. The MSTR shares have increased by more than 3% in pre-market trading and are currently priced at approximately $308 at the time of writing.
