MicroStrategy has once again made headlines with a blockbuster Bitcoin acquisition, reaffirming its dominance as the largest corporate holder of the world’s top cryptocurrency. The firm, led by Bitcoin evangelist Michael Saylor, disclosed via social media that it had purchased an additional 13,390 BTC for roughly $1.34 billion, paying an average of $99,856 per coin.

Saylor, the company's executive chairman, announced the move on May 12, underscoring the firm’s unrelenting bullish stance on Bitcoin despite market volatility. “Strategy has acquired 13,390 BTC for ~$1.34 billion at ~$99,856 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 15.5% YTD 2025,” he stated. As of May 11, MicroStrategy’s total holdings have ballooned to an eye-watering 568,840 BTC, acquired at an average price of $69,287 — translating to an aggregate investment of approximately $39.41 billion.

This latest purchase pushes MicroStrategy even deeper into crypto territory, further distancing it from its software roots. What began in 2020 as a bold shift to reposition treasury reserves has evolved into a full-scale Bitcoin accumulation campaign, effectively turning MicroStrategy into a publicly traded proxy for Bitcoin exposure.

Now colloquially known as “Strategy” in crypto circles, the company continues to lead the charge among institutional buyers, showcasing a level of conviction that has not wavered in the face of price swings or regulatory scrutiny. The 15.5% year-to-date yield cited by Saylor highlights the strategic edge that long-term accumulation has provided thus far in 2025.

With institutions increasingly eyeing digital assets as both inflation hedges and long-term stores of value, MicroStrategy’s latest move is likely to amplify the growing chorus of corporate interest. While skeptics question the sustainability of such aggressive exposure, others see it as a blueprint for a new era of treasury management.

As more traditional firms watch from the sidelines, the central question remains: who will be next to step into the Bitcoin arena?
