Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, is continuing its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation in 2025. The company has purchased another 6,556 BTC for $555.8 million, at an average price of $84,785 per coin, as of April 20.
This latest buy is part of a broader and ongoing accumulation strategy that shows no signs of slowing down.
Total Holdings Surge to 538,200 BTC
With this recent purchase, Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings have reached 538,200 BTC. The company has spent about $36.47 billion on its BTC stash so far, with an average acquisition price of $67,766 per coin.
In 2025 alone, Strategy has already seen a Bitcoin yield of 12.1%, reflecting strong returns on its crypto investment strategy.
After a brief pause, Strategy resumed its Bitcoin buying spree last week. On April 14, Michael Saylor revealed that the company had acquired 3,459 BTC for $285.8 million, paying an average of $82,618 per coin.
Despite market volatility, the company continues to increase its Bitcoin exposure, reinforcing its conviction in BTC’s long-term potential.
MSTR Stock Beats Big Tech and Crypto Assets
MicroStrategy’s stock (MSTR) has soared over 133% in the past year, outperforming major tech and crypto assets such as Tesla (57%), Bitcoin (33%), Nvidia (30%), and Apple (17%).
This week alone, MSTR stock jumped 13%, including a 3% gain in a single day, pushing the share price to around $317.
Millions of Investors Now Hold MSTR Shares
According to Michael Saylor, as of Q1 2025, more than 13,000 institutions and 814,000 retail investors now directly hold MSTR stock. On top of that, roughly 55 million individuals have indirect exposure through ETFs, mutual funds, pensions, and insurance portfolios.
This growing investor base is a reflection of Strategy’s increasing influence in both traditional finance and the crypto space.
Crypto Market Turns Green Again
The rally in MSTR stock comes as global sentiment improves. The crypto market cap has bounced back to $2.75 trillion, with Bitcoin hitting a 3-week high of $87,500. Ethereum rose by 3.4% to trade near $1,633, while altcoins like XRP, Solana, Cardano, and Dogecoin also posted modest gains.
Global investor confidence is also getting a boost from recent political news. China’s president said he’s open to restarting trade talks with President Trump—if there’s mutual respect—bringing fresh hope to the markets.
