TL;DR:
MicroStrategy bought a smaller amount of Bitcoin last week, as the digital asset’s price briefly went above $97,000, according to a recent filing.
Between April 28 and May 4, the firm acquired 1,895 BTC for $180.3 million, at an average price of $95,167 per unit. This is one of the smallest purchases of 2025 yet, comparable only to the 130 BTC bought in March.
This transaction contrasts with the previous purchase of 15,355 BTC made at the end of April, done at an average price of $66,637, and signals an adjustment in Strategy’s accumulation pace as the price approaches historical levels.
However, despite this adjustment, Strategy remains a leading figure in the crypto market for its large-scale operations. As of May 4, the firm’s total Bitcoin holding stands at 555,450 BTC, and the average acquisition cost is $68,550.
At the same time, Semler (SCIX) is taking a different approach, ramping up its purchases amid the cryptocurrency’s price rally.
Between April 30 and May 2, the medical technology firm bought 167 BTC for $16.2 million, at an average price of $97,093 per unit. This marks a 50% increase from the 111 BTC it added on April 25.
As of May 2, Semler held 3,634 BTC, with a total cost of $322.3 million and an average price of $88,668.
While Semler’s holding volume is significantly smaller, its rapid buying pace showcases greater agility in capitalizing on the prevailing market conditions.
In its first-quarter report, MicroStrategy reported a 13.7% return, which is calculated based on the change in the fair value of its BTC holdings and the average number of diluted shares outstanding. This figure closely ties into the company’s annual target of 15%.
Moreover, Saylor confirmed they doubled their capital plan, allocating $42 billion in both equity and debt to further increase their Bitcoin exposure.
