Strategy Expands Its Bitcoin Position With the Purchase of 13390 BTC for Approximately 1.34 Billion

Strategy has significantly expanded its Bitcoin position with the purchase of 13390 BTC for approximately $1.34 billion at an average price of $99856 per coin.

MicroStrategy continues its staunch commitment to Bitcoin, adding 13,390 BTC at an average price of 99,856 in the past week. The company's latest purchase, as announced via X post, marks one of its largest weekly bitcoin buys to date and brings the total BTC stash to 568,840 at an average cost basis of 69,287 per coin.

The latest purchases were executed in the range of 4, May 11,

As of 11, 2025, the company's bitcoin holdings are valued at approximately 39.41 billion, and the company has realized an average BTC yield of 15.5% YTD 2025.

This latest batch of 13,390 BTC is priced at 1.34 billion.

Earlier this month, MicroStrategy announced the purchase of 1,895 BTC at an average price of 95,167 per bitcoin. At that time, the company's bitcoin holdings were reported to be 555,450 BTC, purchased at a total cost of approximately 38.08 billion and an average purchase price of 68,550 per bitcoin.

The company's BTC yield performance has also seen a positive development. On 4, 2025, MicroStrategy announced a 14.0% year-to-date yield from its bitcoin strategy. In the span of just one week, that yield has seen a rise to 15.5% YTD. This increase in yield indicates that the company's current strategy in managing its bitcoin holdings has led to improved investment performance.

During last week's Bitcoin For Corporations event at MicroStrategy World 2025, Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:MSTR), made a bold appeal to tech companies to skip stock buybacks and start buying bitcoin as their reserve asset.

"Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) is going to do a buyback. Buying Bitcoin would be 10x better than buying their own stock." Citing performance data, Saylor argued that corporations sticking to traditional capital strategies are leaving massive upside on the table.

Over the last five years, Microsoft stock returned 18% annually—impressive, but far behind Bitcoin's 62% annual return.

"If the cost of capital is the S&P 500 at 14%, Microsoft is outperforming by 4%. Bitcoin is outperforming by 48%," Saylor emphasized. "Bonds, by the way, are down 5%—underperforming by 19%."

The company's inclusion of BTC Yield in its reporting signals a shift in how technology companies view treasury assets. In today's low-rate, low-growth environment, traditional capital structures aren't cutting it.

"We're in the third year of the bull market and the S&P 500 has 14% returns. It's never seen before. The U.S. Treasury is down 5% in five years. Only one asset class has had triple-digit returns: Bitcoin at 1000%."

Pointing out that Microsoft stock had an average annual return of 18% over five years, Saylor said, "It's great, but it's nothing compared to Bitcoin's 62% average annual return over five years."

He noted that if you look at the cost of capital, which is the S&P 500 at 14%, then Microsoft is outperforming by 4%, Bitcoin is outperforming by 48%, and bonds are underperforming by 19%.

"We should be aiming for triple-digit returns with Bitcoin in today's low-rate, low-growth environment. Traditional capital structures aren't cutting it. Tech companies can't afford to stick with 4% returns on their own stock when they could be earning 62% returns with Bitcoin."

Saylor's advice to tech companies is clear: skip the stock buybacks and start buying bitcoin as your primary reserve asset. It's a strategy that could lead to triple-digit returns and a more sustainable future for both companies and the industry at large.
