Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin (BTC) proxy firm, Strategy, is making waves once more with its recent acquisition of an additional $285.8 million in Bitcoin (BTC) amidst notable fluctuations in the company’s stock (MSTR) price.
Saylor’s Strategy Reports 11.4% Year-to-Date Bitcoin Yield
To fund this latest purchase, Strategy tapped into its at-the-market stock program, selling shares to generate capital for further Bitcoin investments. This deliberate strategy underscores the firm’s ongoing dedication to bolstering its Bitcoin assets, which have become integral to its financial approach.
As reported by Bloomberg, the demand for Strategy’s convertible debt has been somewhat driven by hedge funds seeking to capitalize on the company’s stock volatility.
These funds are reportedly engaging in trades that involve purchasing the bonds while concurrently short-selling the shares, essentially wagering on the stock’s price fluctuations.
This latest Bitcoin acquisition, which consists of 3,459 BTC at an average price of approximately $82,618 between April 7 and April 13, brings Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings to 531,644 BTC.
In a social media update, Saylor announced that the firm has achieved a year-to-date Bitcoin yield of 11.4% as of April 13, 2025. Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings are now valued at $35.92 billion, with an average purchase price of $67,556 per Bitcoin.
This remarkable total represents about 2.5% of the maximum 21 million Bitcoin that will ever be minted, reinforcing Strategy’s position as the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin. However, the firm’s financial landscape faces its share of obstacles.
$42 Billion By 2027 To Fuel Ongoing BTC Purchases
Last week, NewsBTC reported that Strategy anticipates an unrealized loss of $5.9 billion for the first quarter due to a new accounting rule requiring digital assets to be valued at market prices.
During the same quarter, the company reportedly invested $7.79 billion in Bitcoin, demonstrating its aggressive buying strategy, which has encompassed nine acquisitions in this timeframe.
Looking toward the future, Strategy plans to raise $42 billion in capital through 2027, using proceeds from both at-the-market stock sales and fixed-income instruments to sustain its Bitcoin purchases.
Since Saylor initiated investments of the firm’s cash into Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation in 2020, Strategy’s stock has skyrocketed approximately 2,300%, showcasing the substantial influence of its cryptocurrency strategy on shareholder value.
Currently, the leading cryptocurrency has successfully reclaimed the critical $85,000 mark, reflecting a 7% increase over the past week. Nevertheless, despite this rebound, the cryptocurrency remains 21% below its all-time high of $109,000, reached in January of this year.
Experts attribute some recent market challenges to President Donald Trump’s tariff policies, which have affected overall market sentiment. However, with the president’s recent 90-day suspension of the so-called “tariff war,” the market may have regained essential catalysts for potential further gains.
