Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, has announced yet another massive Bitcoin purchase after hinting it one day before acquiring 4,020 BTC worth $427 million between May 19 and May 25, 2025. This latest move boosts the company’s total holdings to a record-breaking 580,250 BTC, valued at $40.61 billion.
Largest Public Bitcoin Holder Hits New Milestone
With this purchase, Strategy further strengthens its position as the world’s largest publicly traded Bitcoin holder. The average buy price for the new acquisition was $106,237 per BTC, demonstrating strong confidence despite recent market volatility.
The company’s Bitcoin reserve now represents nearly 3% of the total BTC circulating supply, giving it significant influence in the crypto market.
Michael Saylor, Strategy’s Executive Chairman, shared on X:
Strategic Funding Backed the Massive Buy
Strategy funded the purchase using at-the-market (ATM) equity and preferred stock offerings, allowing it to raise capital flexibly by issuing shares at market prices. This approach highlights a clever use of traditional finance to fuel aggressive digital asset investments.
By combining equity financing with BTC purchases, Strategy has set a precedent for how large corporations might manage their crypto treasury strategies.
Market Reaction and Future Outlook
Following the announcement, Strategy’s stock price (MSTR) saw a dip, trading at $369, down 7%. Yet, the move signals long-term conviction. It shows the company’s willingness to buy during periods of consolidation, a strategy that aligns with its goal of maximizing BTC yield — currently sitting at 16.8% YTD in 2025.
With Bitcoin trading near all-time highs, the market will closely watch whether Strategy ramps up issuance efforts to meet its aggressive targets. These moves could impact both BTC prices and the MSTR stock in the coming months.
Global Impact: Other Firms Follow Saylor’s Lead
Michael Saylor’s influence continues to ripple across the global financial landscape. Companies in Brazil, the Middle East, and Asia are reportedly beginning to adopt Bitcoin as a reserve asset, inspired by Strategy’s bold example.
