Even as the crypto market faces strong headwinds, MicroStrategy—now rebranded as Strategy—has continued its aggressive Bitcoin buying strategy. The company recently bought 3,459 BTC for around $285.80 million at an average price of $82,618 per coin. So far in 2025, Strategy has achieved a Bitcoin yield of 11.4%.
Michael Saylor announced that Strategy acquired the new batch of Bitcoin between April 1 and April 13. This purchase came after a short pause in the company’s Bitcoin buying spree. With this addition, Strategy now holds a total of 531,644 BTC, acquired for $35.92 billion at an average price of roughly $67,556 per Bitcoin.
This move highlights Strategy’s strong belief in Bitcoin, even during times of economic uncertainty. The company continues to be one of the largest institutional holders of Bitcoin.
Since the beginning of the first quarter, Bitcoin has dropped from its all-time high of $109,000 to about $74,000. That’s a decline of 11.82%, making it Bitcoin’s worst-performing quarter to date.
Because of the price drop, Strategy has recorded a net unrealized loss of $5.91 billion on its Bitcoin holdings. One of the key factors behind Bitcoin’s fall was the global market pressure triggered by President Trump’s trade tariffs.
Still, the company’s bold decision to buy more Bitcoin seems to have paid off in the short term. Strategy’s stock (MSTR) jumped by 10% within 24 hours, hovering around $300, and is up 15% over the past week.
Investor confidence also got a boost after President Trump announced a 90-day pause on the new trade tariffs, easing some of the pressure on global markets.
The overall crypto market saw a slight decline, with the total market cap falling to $2.69 trillion. One of the most shocking events was the crash of MANTRA (OM), a real-world asset token, which dropped by 90% to $0.42 in what appears to be a rug pull.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin is trading around $84,672 but is struggling to break past the $86,000 resistance level.
Altcoins Show Modest Gains
While Bitcoin faces resistance, several major altcoins have posted modest gains:
These numbers show that despite the recent volatility, parts of the crypto market are still holding strong.
In a market full of caution, Strategy’s full-speed commitment to Bitcoin is hard to ignore.
Strategy holds 531,644 BTC worth over $45B at an average price of $67,556 per coin.
MSTR stock rose 10% after more BTC buys and Trump’s 90-day tariff pause boosted investor confidence.
The firm reported a $5.91B loss due to Bitcoin falling from $109K to $74K amid global tariff tensions.
