Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, has significantly expanded its Bitcoin portfolio by acquiring 6,911 bitcoins between March 17 and March 23, 2025. The purchase, totaling approximately $584.1 million, was made at an average price of $84,529 per bitcoin. This acquisition elevates the company’s total holdings to 506,137 bitcoins, acquired at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $33.7 billion, averaging $66,608 per bitcoin.
This move underscores Strategy’s ongoing commitment to Bitcoin as a primary treasury reserve asset. The company’s aggressive accumulation strategy has positioned it as the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, now controlling nearly 2.4% of the total 21 million bitcoins that will ever exist.
To finance this substantial acquisition, Strategy raised approximately $711.2 million through the issuance of 8.5 million shares of its 10.00% Series A Perpetual Strife Preferred Stock, priced at $85.00 per share. The offering was upsized due to strong investor demand, reflecting confidence in the company’s Bitcoin-focused strategy. The net proceeds from this offering were earmarked for general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of additional Bitcoin and working capital needs.
Michael Saylor, Strategy’s Executive Chairman, hinted at the impending Bitcoin purchase through a cryptic social media post featuring a Bitcoin price chart captioned “needs more orange.” This subtle indication preceded the official announcement of the acquisition, aligning with the company’s pattern of strategic and timely Bitcoin investments.
The company’s approach involves leveraging financial instruments to fund its Bitcoin acquisitions. The Series A Perpetual Strife Preferred Stock offers a fixed annual dividend of 10%, increasing by 1% per year if payments are deferred, capped at 18%. This structure is designed to attract fixed-income investors while providing Strategy with the necessary capital to continue its Bitcoin accumulation.
Despite the substantial investment in Bitcoin, Strategy’s stock experienced a decline of 6.8% to $274.13, amid a broader downturn in the cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin’s price decreased by 2.2% to $82,620 during the same period. This volatility highlights the inherent risks associated with the company’s Bitcoin-centric strategy, as its stock performance remains closely tied to fluctuations in the cryptocurrency market.
In the broader context, the cryptocurrency landscape is experiencing significant developments. President Donald Trump has pledged to transform the United States into the leading Bitcoin superpower and global cryptocurrency hub. In a pre-recorded address to the Blockworks Digital Assets Summit in New York, President Trump criticized previous administrations for their restrictive stance on crypto and announced plans to introduce clear regulations for stablecoins and market structures. These initiatives aim to stimulate investment and innovation in the crypto sector, potentially influencing corporate strategies like that of Strategy.
