Strategy, previously MicroStrategy, has bought 6,556 Bitcoin for $555.8 million as BTC hit a monthly high of $87,400. This purchase increases Strategy’s total holdings to 538,200 BTC valued at about $36.47 billion. The acquisition was funded through its stock offerings. The company has faced financial pressures with significant debt and high annual obligations, potentially leading to a need for further asset liquidation.
Strategy, the largest corporate Bitcoin holder globally, has recently acquired 6,556 BTC for $555.8 million following a price surge that broke the monthly high of $87,400. This acquisition, reported in a regulatory filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 21, showcases the company’s continued investment in Bitcoin. So far in 2025, Strategy has realised a Bitcoin yield of 12.1% year-to-date.
The acquisition funding stemmed from the company’s Common and STRK at-the-market offerings (ATM). The Common ATM denotes the direct sale of common stock while the STRK ATM refers to the sale of preferred stock. Both methods allow Strategy to raise capital by selling shares on the market effectively.
With this purchase, Strategy’s total Bitcoin assets now amount to 538,200 BTC, valued at approximately $36.47 billion, averaging at $67,766 per Bitcoin. In the recent trading cycle, Bitcoin significantly surpassed its previous monthly high, peaking at $87,638, having last crossed the $87,400 threshold on March 28 before a downturn earlier in April.
Currently, Bitcoin is trading at $87,273, marking an increase of over 3.5%. Notably, just a week before this recent acquisition, Strategy purchased 3,459 BTC for $285.8 million between April 7 and April 13, during which Bitcoin had not yet returned to its previous peak of $100,000.
Earlier this month, Michael Saylor’s software company hinted at a potential need to sell some Bitcoin holdings to address financial liabilities. This sale could be essential if they do not secure financing via equity or debt, especially considering the company’s significant obligations, including approximately $8 billion in debt, $35 million in annual interest, and $150 million in yearly dividends.
