Virginia-based Bitcoin treasury firm Strategy, formerly MicroStrategy, has added another 3,459 BTC to its holdings in a fresh show of confidence—even as financial pressures loom large.
In a filing submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on April 14, the company disclosed that the purchase was made between April 7 and April 13 for $285.8 million. The acquisition was funded through proceeds from selling close to 960,000 shares of MSTR stock.
Michael Saylor, Strategy’s executive chairman and Bitcoin’s most vocal corporate backer, confirmed the move on X, noting that the company paid an average of $82,618 per BTC during the week-long buying spree. He also revealed that Strategy has seen an 11.4% return on its Bitcoin investments since the beginning of 2025.
With this latest haul, the firm’s total Bitcoin trove has swelled to 531,644 BTC—acquired for roughly $36 billion at an average price of $67,556 per coin—cementing its position as the largest corporate Bitcoin holder globally.
This aggressive accumulation comes on the heels of Strategy’s cautionary note to investors last week, warning that it may need to liquidate part of its Bitcoin stash if it fails to raise capital through equity or debt. The company is grappling with around $8 billion in debt, including $35 million in annual interest and $150 million in dividend commitments.
Despite expecting a $6 billion unrealized loss for the first quarter, Strategy is banking on a projected $1.69 billion tax benefit to soften the financial blow.
Still, Saylor’s bet on Bitcoin remains unwavering—even as the crypto asset struggles to regain momentum toward the $100,000 milestone.
Meanwhile, Cantor Fitzgerald’s Brett Knoblauch predicted that Strategy’s stock (MSTR) could rise to $613, citing the company’s “capital markets flywheel” strategy facilitates Bitcoin accumulation per share. Knoblauch highlights that Bitcoin’s rise post-U.S. election significantly benefited MicroStrategy (MSTR), enabling the company to raise approximately $18 billion in late 2024.
