MicroStrategy’s $556M Bitcoin purchase cements dominance

The latest leg higher in Bitcoin coincides with fresh accumulation by MicroStrategy Inc. MSTR, which disclosed in a regulatory filing on Monday that it had purchased 6,556 BTC between April 14 and April 20 for a total of $555.8 million—paying an average of $84,785 per coin.

The purchase lifts MicroStrategy’s total holdings to 538,200 BTC, valued at roughly $46.8 billion at current prices, and gives the company an average cost basis of $67,766 per coin. It now controls roughly 77% of the 700,000 BTC held by publicly traded firms, solidifying its role as the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin.

The buy was funded through two stock sale programs, with the company issuing 1.755 million shares of Class A stock and 91,000 shares of preferred stock. Net proceeds totaled $555.5 million.

Bitcoin breaks out as dollar weakens, inflation fears resurface

BTC’s move above the $87,000 mark comes as the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) dropped to a three-year low of 98.00 following reports that President Donald Trump is weighing the removal of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. The political pressure on the Fed has driven speculation around interest rate cuts and helped fuel demand for safe-haven assets like Bitcoin and gold.

Gold futures rose to fresh all-time highs above $3,400 per ounce on Monday, and traders pointed to Bitcoin’s renewed correlation with gold as a signal of its reemerging hedge narrative.

“A weaker dollar could draw renewed attention from American investors, highlighting bitcoin’s potential as a hedge against declining dollar value,” said crypto financial services firm Matrixport in a recent note.

Cost-basis clusters suggest $90K may be in play

Bitcoin could face limited overhead resistance below $90,000 due to thin supply clusters in that range, suggesting that if momentum continues, BTC could push toward new highs relatively quickly before major profit-taking sets in.

Market data also reflects increased risk appetite across crypto markets, with small-cap tokens like Chainlink ENJ, Magic and Solana SOL outperforming. Bitcoin’s dominance currently sits near 54%, underscoring its role in leading broader market trends.
