Michael Saylor announces 1,895 Bitcoin purchase

Strategy has purchased an additional 1,895 Bitcoin at an average price of $95,167 per coin. The company has invested approximately $180.3 million in this latest purchase. According to data from the company’s portfolio tracker, this acquisition was made on May 5, 2025.

Michael Saylor shared details of the purchase on X. He mentioned that Strategy has achieved a Bitcoin yield of 14.0% year-to-date in 2025.

Unlike most of the company’s recent acquisitions, this purchase is currently showing a small unrealized loss of $1.51 million (-0.84%) based on Bitcoin’s price movements since the transaction.

This latest purchase follows a much larger acquisition made just a week earlier on April 28, 2025. This was when Strategy bought 15,355 BTC at an average price of $92,737 per coin, spending $1.42 billion. That earlier purchase is currently showing an unrealized gain of $28.68 million (2.02%).

Strategy’s Bitcoin acquisition pace has remained strong throughout 2025. Prior to the May 5 purchase, the company made acquisitions on April 21 (6,556 BTC at $84,785), April 14 (3,459 BTC at $82,618), March 31 (22,048 BTC at $86,969), March 24 (6,911 BTC at $84,529), and March 17 (130 BTC at $82,981).

Strategy’s total holdings reach 555,450 BTC

Strategy’s Bitcoin treasury has now grown to 555,450 BTC. The BTC was bought for a total investment of approximately $38.08 billion. That’s at an average purchase price of $68,550 per bitcoin.

Based on current Bitcoin prices, the company’s holdings are valued at $52.46 billion. This is an overall unrealized gain of $14.37 billion or 37.74% on their total investment.

Michael Saylor’s vision of transforming the company into a Bitcoin treasury has resulted in Strategy becoming the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin by a substantial margin.

Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings have grown substantially over time through a consistent acquisition strategy. The company now controls approximately 2.64% of Bitcoin’s total supply, which is capped at 21 million coins.

The value of Strategy’s Bitcoin treasury has fluctuated with market movements but has trended upward over time. The company’s portfolio tracker shows that Bitcoin’s daily closing average (DCA) price is currently around $68,569.

Strategy’s Bitcoin-focused treasury approach, pioneered by Michael Saylor when the company was still known as MicroStrategy, has attracted attention from other corporations and institutional investors. However, few have matched Strategy’s level of commitment to Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset.
