On Monday, Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor revealed his firm had added another tranche of bitcoin ( BTC) to its treasury holdings. With this latest acquisition, the company’s total cache now stands at 555,450 BTC—currently valued at $52.4 billion based on prevailing market rates.
Strategy Adds More Bitcoin
Strategy, which once operated under the name Microstrategy, has continued its methodical accumulation of bitcoin to deepen its reserve strategy. A subtle teaser came Sunday, when Saylor shared a chart chronicling every past acquisition. By Monday, the speculation was confirmed as Saylor declared:
MSTR has acquired 1,895 BTC for ~$180.3 million at ~$95,167 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 14.0% YTD 2025. As of 5/4/2025, we hodl 555,450 BTC acquired for ~$38.08 billion at ~$68,550 per bitcoin.
The trove ranks as the largest bitcoin holding by any publicly listed firm and, at prevailing rates, is valued at $52.4 billion. Strategy’s BTC reserve trails just behind that of the exchange-traded fund (ETF) IBIT, operated by Blackrock. IBIT holds 614,639.40 BTC, placing Strategy’s holdings 59,189.40 BTC shy of the fund’s current count.
Through persistent acquisition, the firm increasingly resembles a digital-era sovereign reserve vault, dissolving traditional distinctions between treasury stewardship and speculative conviction. This latest move may inspire peers to reconceive bitcoin not as a fleeting play, but as an enduring monetary anchor—quietly reshaping how corporations engage with capital and value preservation.
