Strategy added 1,895 Bitcoin using stock sale proceeds, while Semler Scientific boosted its holdings to 3,634 $BTC, highlighting rising corporate adoption.
Michael Saylor’s Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, acquired an additional 1,895 Bitcoin ($BTC) last week, spending roughly $180.3 million between April 28 and May 4, according to a filing with the SEC on Monday.
The average purchase price was $95,167 per Bitcoin.
The company funded the purchase by selling 353,825 shares of its MSTR common stock and 575,392 shares of $STRK preferred stock. The equity sale was part of Strategy’s ongoing capital-raising programs aimed at increasing its bitcoin reserves.
With this transaction, the company has now exhausted the MSTR portion of its “21/21 Plan,” a campaign launched to raise $42 billion for bitcoin purchases. The $STRK component still has $20.87 billion in remaining capacity.
In response, Strategy has initiated a new “42/42 Plan,” which aims to raise another $42 billion through a combination of equity and debt offerings over the next two years. The firm continues to issue both $STRK and STRF perpetual preferred shares to support additional bitcoin acquisitions.
Strategy now holds a total of 555,450 $BTC, acquired at an aggregate cost of $38.08 billion. With bitcoin trading around $94,000, the company’s holdings are currently valued at over $52 billion — representing an unrealized gain of approximately $14.2 billion.
That stash accounts for over 2.6% of bitcoin’s total circulating supply.
