In a recent submission to the US Securities and Exchange Commission, Strategy, previously known as Microstrategy, revealed that it acquired an additional 6,556 Bitcoin at an average cost of $95,167 per coin from April 28 to May 4.
This new acquisition increases the total Bitcoin holdings of the company to 555,450 BTC, approximately valued at $38.08 billion, with an average purchasing price of $68,550 per BTC.
Strategy Unveils $21 Billion ATM Proposal
The latest purchase was supported by a strategic blend of common and preferred stock sales. Specifically, Strategy generated $128.5 million via its at-the-market program for common stock and an additional $51.8 million from selling STRK preferred shares. This transaction effectively uses the entirety of the previous $21 billion ATM offering initiated the previous year.

Michael Saylor, co-founder of Strategy and a prominent Bitcoin supporter, recently disclosed on social media that the company has achieved a year-to-date Bitcoin yield of 14.0% as of May 4, 2025. He highlighted that the firm currently possesses 555,450 BTC, acquired at an estimated total of $38.08 billion.
In an effort to strengthen its Bitcoin acquisition strategy, Strategy recently announced its intention to double its capital raising capabilities. This initiative includes launching a new $21 billion ATM offering and expanding its debt purchase strategy to $42 billion.
These moves demonstrate the company’s dedication to enhancing its Bitcoin-focused financial standing, despite facing recent financial hurdles, including five consecutive quarters of net losses.
Rising Institutional Appetite for Bitcoin
During its most recent earnings discussion, Strategy introduced the “42/42 Plan,” a strategy aimed at raising $84 billion in capital within the next two years, evenly splitting the funds between equity and fixed-income sources committed to future Bitcoin acquisitions.
Even in the face of ongoing losses, investor sentiment remains positive. Strategy continues to be the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, with its BTC ownership making up nearly 3% of Bitcoin’s entire supply. With current market valuation around $94,000, the company’s Bitcoin assets exceed $52 billion.

This latest acquisition occurs during a time of heightened institutional interest in Bitcoin, particularly through regulated investment channels. Notably, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF has seen substantial inflows recently, signaling a growing appetite among institutional investors.
However, despite the optimistic outlook regarding its Bitcoin strategy, Strategy’s shares fell 2.7% during pre-market trading on Monday, after gaining over 3% last Thursday.
Currently, Bitcoin is trading at $94,596, showing a slight decrease of 0.2% over the past 24 hours, but reflecting gains of up to 13% over the past month for the leading cryptocurrency.
