As of May 25, 2025, Strategy now holds a total of 580,250 BTC, acquired at an average cost of $69,979 per bitcoin, representing a cumulative investment of $40.61 billion. The company’s year-to-date Bitcoin yield stands at 16.8% in 2025. 

According to the Strategy, it financed these purchases through proceeds raised from its Common ATM, STRK ATM, and STRF ATM offerings.

This latest acquisition follows another substantial purchase made on May 19, where Strategy bought 7,390 BTC for nearly $765 million. 

Increasing Exposure Despite Market Fluctations

The rapid accumulation comes shortly after Bitcoin reached an all-time high on May 22, indicating Strategy’s ongoing commitment to increasing its BTC treasury even amid short-term market fluctuations.

Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor signaled the recent Bitcoin purchase in an X post shared a day earlier. In his post, Saylor stated that he only buys Bitcoin with money he can not afford to lose. Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor appeared to emphasize his strong conviction in Bitcoin’s long-term value.

The statement, while seemingly paradoxical, reflects a mindset where he considers Bitcoin not as a risky gamble but as a strategic asset with enduring potential. Saylor signals his belief that Bitcoin will continue to outperform over time, justifying its role as a core reserve asset.

Preferred Stock Offering Supports Bitcoin Strategy

Recall that following the May 19 acquisition, Strategy outlined plans to raise additional capital to support further Bitcoin purchases. On May 22, the company announced a $2.1 billion fundraising initiative through a preferred stock sale. 

The offering involves Strategy’s 10% Series A Perpetual Strife Preferred Stock (STRF) and is being facilitated through a sales agreement with Barclays Capital, TD Securities, and The Benchmark Company.

According to a filing, the appointed agents will execute sales in a measured approach, observing market conditions to determine optimal issuance timing. There are no minimum sales commitments from the agents. 

However, Strategy has targeted $2.1 billion in gross proceeds. From the total raised, 2% will be allocated to the agents as commission. The remaining funds are for general corporate use, which includes additional Bitcoin acquisitions and routine operational expenses.

Corporate Bitcoin Adoption Broadens Beyond Strategy

While Strategy continues to expand its Bitcoin reserves, other companies have followed suit. On May 16, Brazilian fintech company Méliuz became the first in the country to adopt Bitcoin as a treasury asset. 

Méliuz invested over $28 million into BTC, signaling a strategic shift in its financial management amid inflation and currency risk considerations.

Simultaneously, DayDayCook, a U.S.-listed firm, confirmed it had purchased 100 BTC and aims to grow its holdings to 500 BTC within six months, eventually targeting 5,000 BTC over the next three years. 

Currently, Bitcoin is trading at $109,743 today, reflecting a 1.98% gain in 24 hours and a 6.34% rise over the past week.
