Strategy (MicroStrategy) Adds 6556 Bitcoins Worth $555M as Stock Price Rises

• MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin holdings surge to 538,200 BTC after a $555 million purchase.
• MSTR stock rebounds nearly 3% following new Bitcoin acquisition at $84,785 per BTC.
• Strategy spent $36.47 billion to acquire Bitcoin at an average price of $67,766 per coin.

Strategy confirmed through an official statement that it acquired 6,556 Bitcoin units. The firm formerly MicroStrategy made the acquisition purchase between April 14 to April 20 of 2025 at approximately $555.80 million.

The firm spent $84,785 for each Bitcoin, which comprised its average purchase cost. After this acquisition, Strategy holds a total of 538200 Bitcoins. As of today, Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) has invested $36.47 billion to buy Bitcoin, which averages to $67.766 per coin. 

The company has continued with Bitcoin acquisitions for two successive weeks. This month, Strategy invested $285 million to buy 3.459 Bitcoins. The Executive Chairman, Michael Saylor, maintains a long-term capital strategy focusing on Bitcoin as the primary asset. The latest company announcement includes a BTC yield of 12.1% year-to-date as one of its key performance indicators.

Stock Price Reacts to Continued Bitcoin Accumulation

The acquisition news caused a significant impact on Strategy’s stock market value. The pre-market trading started on Monday, showing MSTR shares increasing their value by almost 3%, which drove them from $317 to $325. The stock price demonstrated similar performance patterns to Bitcoin’s price surge in early April when it briefly exceeded $87,500.

Professionals have established a direct correlation between MSTR stock movements and Bitcoin because the firm possesses a substantial position in Bitcoin markets. Experts from the market track these financial instruments for indications of lasting movement patterns.

Technical analyst Kevin Capital states that if Bitcoin can overcome the $89,000 threshold, it will demonstrate an emerging uptrend, which may affect MSTR stock performance. Strategy announced its plans to obtain more than $20 billion through stock issuance to buy more BTC. Digital assets constitute the core investment strategy at the company, while it ignores short-term price changes in its purchasing plans.

Institutional Adoption and Market Sentiment Grow

Various institutional investors continue to build up their Bitcoin holdings. Japanese investment firm Metaplanet finished buying 330 bitcoins worth $28.2 million to reach 4,855 bitcoins across its entire portfolio. Japanese fashion retailer ANAP exposed itself to Bitcoin investments by purchasing $70 million worth of BTC.

The volatility of the Bitcoin market has not affected MicroStrategy’s position as the company with the largest Bitcoin holdings in publicly traded institutions. MicroStrategy stands at the forefront of BTC possession among major holders, including Marathon Digital Holdings, because of its continued dedication to buying Bitcoin.

The rising institutional adoption will encourage additional companies to adopt similar investment strategies in the crypto market. Consumers in the market will closely monitor Strategy’s upcoming strategic move to assess its effect on general cryptocurrency sentiment.
