MicroStrategy (NASDAQ: MSTR) Acquires 13,390 BTC, Boosting Holdings to 568,840 BTC with $1.34 Billion Purchase

MicroStrategy, now known as Strategy and listed on NASDAQ as MSTR, has continued its aggressive acquisition of Bitcoin, purchasing an additional 13,390 BTC between May 5 and May 11 for approximately $1.34 billion at an average price of $99,856 per Bitcoin. This latest purchase increases the company's total Bitcoin holdings to 568,840 BTC, which represents 2.7% of the total Bitcoin supply, acquired for about $39.41 billion at an average price of $69,287 per coin.

The company, headquartered in Tysons, Virginia, and led by Michael Saylor, has achieved a Bitcoin yield of 15.5% year-to-date in 2025. Strategy, formerly focused on data-analyzing software, has become the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, a strategy initiated by Saylor during the COVID-19 pandemic to hedge against inflation and preserve capital for shareholders.

This move aligns with Strategy's ongoing efforts to securitize Bitcoin, allowing investors to gain regulated exposure to the cryptocurrency through shares traded on the stock exchange. The company's approach has been emulated by smaller firms like Metaplanet and Semler Scientific. At the time of the latest purchase, Bitcoin was trading at $104,110.
