Investment expansion strategy for Bitcoin with the latest purchase transaction, currently holding a total of 555.450 BTC

In a recent filing submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Strategy (formerly known as Microstrategy) disclosed the purchase of an additional 6,556 Bitcoin (BTC) at an average price of $95,167 each during the period from April 28 to May 4. This latest buyback brings the total number of Bitcoins held by the company to 555,450 BTC, worth approximately $38.08 billion, with an average purchase price of $68,550 for each BTC. Strategy announces new ATM service worth 21 billion dollars The buyback is funded through a strategic combination of common stock and preferred stock sales. Specifically, Strategy has raised $128.5 million through the common stock program in the (ATM) market and an additional $51.8 million from the sale of STRK preferred stock. Notably, this latest transaction has depleted the company's previously initiated $21 billion ATM offering from last year. Michael Saylor, co-founder of Strategy and a well-known advocate of BTC, also shared on social media that the company has achieved an annual Bitcoin yield of 14.0% as of May 4, 2025. He emphasized that the company currently holds 555,450 BTC, acquired at a price of approximately 38.08 billion dollars. In an effort to further strengthen the BTC accumulation strategy, Strategy announced plans to double its fundraising capacity last week. This includes the introduction of a new $21 billion ATM service and the expansion of the debt purchase program to $42 billion. These initiatives demonstrate the company's commitment to improving its balance sheet containing a large amount of BTC, even when facing recent financial challenges, including five consecutive quarters of net losses. The demand for Bitcoin from organizations has surged. In the latest earnings call, Strategy announced "Plan 42/42", a roadmap aimed at raising $84 billion in capital over the next two years. This plan includes evenly distributing the funding between equity and fixed income instruments, all allocated for future BTC purchases. Despite the continuous loss reports, investor sentiment remains optimistic. Strategy is still the largest holder of BTC, with holdings accounting for nearly 3% of Bitcoin's maximum supply. With the current market price around $94,000, the company's bitcoin assets are valued at over $52 billion. This recent purchase takes place against the backdrop of strong institutional demand for BTC, particularly through managed investment vehicles. Notably, BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) has seen significant inflows over the past two weeks, reflecting growing interest from institutional investors.

However, despite the positive outlook on the BTC strategy, Strategy's shares fell 2.7% in pre-market trading on Monday, after a rise of more than 3% last Thursday. On the other hand, Bitcoin is trading at $94,596, down slightly by 0.2% in the 24-hour timeframe and up to 13% in the monthly quarter for the largest cryptocurrency in the market.
