Investment approach sets new benchmark in Bitcoin acquisition
Rolling on with the Bitcoin Buying Spree
Michael Saylor's brainchild, MicroStrategy, is steadfastly pursuing its Bitcoin venture. Announcing an April 28 acquisition, the company snapped up an extra 15,355 Bitcoin, at approximately $1.42 billion.
The trade was executed at an average price of $92,737 per Bitcoin, hinting at a week-end transaction. With this newest purchase, MicroStrategy's Bitcoin reserves swelled to an impressive 553,555. The company has forked out around $37.9 billion for these assets, with an average investment price of $68,459 per Bitcoin.
As the Bitcoin market surged beyond $95,000, MicroStrategy's Bitcoin portfolio climbed to a staggering $52.7 billion. This translates to an unrealized gain of nearly $15 billion.
The company remains dedicated to its long-term Bitcoin accumulation strategy, a decision that has seen MSTR shares rally in recent weeks. After dipping below $240 during the market-wide sell-off, shares closed around $370 on Friday, marking a 27.4% month-on-month growth.
Digging Deeper:
MicroStrategy's commitment to Bitcoin has escalated to unprecedented levels, as demonstrated by its consistent purchases and accumulated holdings. Key acquisitions include:
- April 2025: After hinting at a potential $1.4–1.6 billion investment following a cryptic "Stay humble. Accumulate Sats" tweet[1], MicroStrategy purchased $555 million worth of BTC at ~$84,785 per Bitcoin[1].
- Mid-April 2025: The addition of 3,459 BTC at $285.8 million, taking holdings to 531,644 BTC as of April 13[2].
- Early 2025: Over 234,509 BTC were acquired in 2024, accounting for nearly 60% of the total holdings, even following market volatility beyond 2025[3].
With both current and late-April holdings estimated between 531,644 BTC (April 13) and over 538,200 BTC (late April 2025), the average cost per Bitcoin sits around $67,556[2][1]. With a global lead as the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, valued at over $50.5B as of late April 2025[1], MicroStrategy's strategy has become a benchmark for institutional Bitcoin adoption, leveraging market dips for accumulation and advocating BTC as a treasury reserve asset[3][4]. Despite suffering losses during March 2025's drop to $85,000, MicroStrategy's long-term paper gains remain substantial as prices rebound[3][4].
