Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, acquired additional Bitcoin worth $180 million last week

MicroStrategy, the Bitcoin development firm, made another large purchase of BTC last week, adding 1,895 Bitcoin to its balance sheet for about $180 million.

As of early May 4, Strategy’s Bitcoin stash has grown to 555,450 BTC, valued at roughly $52 billion with the asset’s current price just above $94,000. For perspective, the Tysons, Virginia-based Bitcoin treasury holds roughly 2.6% of the total Bitcoin supply. The average purchase price for Strategy’s total stack is $68,550 each.

Strategy’s recent purchase was funded by its ongoing stock sale programs. Last week, Strategy sold 353,825 shares of its common stock (MSTR) and 575,392 shares of its so-called perpetual “STRK” preferred stock, generating net proceeds of roughly $180.3 million.

The MSTR common stock sale program — unveiled in October 2024 under Strategy’s ambitious “21/21 Plan” — targeted $21 billion in equity capital for Bitcoin acquisitions and is now depleted. Saylor recently announced that the company has doubled its capital plan to $42 billion in equity and $42 billion in fixed income to acquire more Bitcoin.

The latest Bitcoin buy comes on the heels of Strategy posting a $4.2 billion net loss for Q1 2025, primarily due to a $5.9 billion unrealized markdown on its BTC cache under the new fair value accounting rules.

New Kid On The Corporate Bitcoin Block

Although Strategy pioneered the playbook for buying Bitcoin among publicly listed companies, the firm is set to face new competition, with Twenty One Capital recently making its Wall Street-debut.

With stablecoin giant Tether, Bitfinex, and traditional finance behemoths Cantor Fitzgerald and SoftBank participating in the initiative, the company plans to own at least 42,000 Bitcoin before it begins raising funds, which would make it the third-largest corporate Bitcoin holder.

Companies like Semler Scientific and Metaplanet have also adopted the world’s oldest and largest crypto as part of their treasury strategy.
