Michael Saylor, founder of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), confirmed the firm’s latest Bitcoin [BTC] acquisition—adding 3,459 BTC to its already massive treasury for $285.8 million. The purchase cements Strategy’s position as the leading corporate holder of BTC, now owning a staggering 531,644 BTC.
$MSTR has acquired 3,459 BTC for ~$285.8 million at ~$82,618 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 11.4% YTD 2025. As of 4/13/2025, @Strategy holds 531,644 $BTC acquired for ~$35.92 billion at ~$67,556 per bitcoin. https://t.co/IUbf4TFD3d

The move didn’t surprise many, especially after Saylor’s cryptic teaser earlier this month: “No tariff on orange dots.” The acquisition was funded through a sale of MSTR stock, as disclosed in a recent 8-K filing with the U.S. SEC. It aligns with Strategy’s broader 21/21 plan: a $21 billion BTC acquisition roadmap through debt and an additional $21 billion via stock issuance. Notably, the firm still has over $37 billion in capital raising capacity.

Analysts have begun linking Strategy’s aggressive accumulation to Bitcoin’s recent price resilience. Last week, BTC climbed 7% to briefly touch $86K—movement some speculate was “all just Saylor.”
At press time, Bitcoin had slipped slightly to $85K, trading just below its critical 200-day moving average (DMA) support. While 2025’s purchases have been more conservative compared to late 2024, BTC’s volatile price action continues to impact Strategy’s bottom line.
Bitcoin fell from an all-time high of $109K to a low of $74K earlier this year, cutting Strategy’s unrealized gains from $19 billion to just $9 billion. Unsurprisingly, MSTR stock has mirrored BTC’s downturn, declining since November 2024.
However, MSTR may be showing signs of life. The stock recently bounced off its 200DMA, fluctuating between $230 and $330. A decisive breakout above the trendline resistance could energize bullish momentum—not just for MSTR, but potentially for BTC itself.
As Strategy continues to load up on Bitcoin, the crypto community watches closely. Will Saylor’s unrelenting BTC thesis prove prophetic once again, or will the market demand a new narrative?
