Strategy adding another Bitcoin buy strengthens bullish crypto stance and expands BTC portfolio

Yousef Haddad

Strategy adding another Bitcoin buy sends a clear signal of long-term confidence in cryptocurrency markets.

The company, known for its aggressive crypto strategy, has purchased 13,390 more BTC. This move adds roughly $1.34 billion worth of bitcoin to its treasury. According to the official filing, Strategy paid an average of $99,856 per bitcoin in this recent acquisition. The purchase was funded by selling common stock and issuing STRK preferred shares. This hybrid capital-raising method shows the company’s flexible approach to funding large bitcoin buys.

This acquisition boosts Strategy’s total holdings to a staggering 568,840 BTC. At the current bitcoin price of $104,000, that stack is now valued at more than $59 billion. Strategy’s average purchase price across its entire bitcoin portfolio now sits at $69,287. This means the company is significantly in profit, validating its buy-and-hold strategy.

$1.34 Billion and 13,390 BTC Later: Strategy Doubles Down

Between May 5 and May 11, Strategy raised $1.31 billion through an at-the-market offering of its Class A common stock. At the same time, it issued 273,987 shares of its Series STRK preferred stock. This mix of equity financing provided enough capital for the latest BTC purchase. The market responded positively, with shares of MSTR climbing 2% in pre-market trading.

This move reaffirms Strategy’s reputation as one of the most committed institutional players in the bitcoin ecosystem. Few publicly traded companies have embraced crypto with this level of intensity. Strategy adding another Bitcoin buy reinforces the narrative that institutional adoption is not slowing down — it’s heating up.

Strategy Adding Another Bitcoin Buy: A Bold Commitment to Crypto

This buy comes right after Strategy’s Strategy Conference last week, which may have influenced investor sentiment. The event emphasized the long-term value of digital assets, positioning bitcoin as a hedge against traditional market volatility. By acting on this thesis immediately, Strategy has put its words into action.

Institutional investors often watch moves like these for signals. When a listed company adds billions in BTC, it sends waves through both equity and crypto markets. It raises questions like: Which company will follow next? How much more capital will shift into crypto assets in 2025?

Strategy’s method — using capital raises to fund BTC buys — is likely to become a model for other companies. The mix of innovation, financial engineering, and crypto conviction sets Strategy apart.

Crypto Market Confidence Grows with Institutional Accumulation

With 568,840 BTC now on the books, Strategy holds more bitcoin than most countries. The firm’s moves can sway market perception. If bitcoin rises significantly this year, Strategy’s stock price and portfolio will likely surge alongside it.

The implications go beyond one company. Strategy adding another Bitcoin buy validates the digital asset class and signals institutional trust in long-term value. It may just be the start of a larger 2025 trend.

Why is Strategy adding another Bitcoin buy now?

Strategy likely acted quickly due to market conditions and confidence gained during its recent Strategy Conference. With bitcoin trading around $104,000, the company sees continued upside potential. Institutional appetite for digital assets is rising, and Strategy wants to stay ahead. Timing this buy between May 5 and 11 allowed it to capture capital efficiently through equity offerings. This wasn’t a spontaneous move — it was carefully timed to reflect a long-term bullish stance on BTC. By locking in more bitcoin at this price, Strategy continues to prove it sees BTC as digital gold.

How did Strategy fund the $1.34B bitcoin purchase?

The company used a dual-capital approach: selling common stock and issuing STRK preferred shares. This gave Strategy flexibility in raising funds without taking on debt. Between May 5 and May 11, it raised $1.31 billion through an at-the-market stock offering. Additionally, it issued 273,987 Series STRK preferred shares to fill the funding gap. This model shows how a public company can leverage its market standing to accumulate BTC. It’s a blueprint other crypto-forward firms may adopt.

What’s the significance of holding 568,840 BTC?

Holding 568,840 BTC — worth over $59 billion — positions Strategy as one of the biggest institutional bitcoin holders globally. This enormous treasury gives the company significant leverage in both financial and crypto spaces. It also signals to investors that BTC is more than a speculative asset — it’s core to Strategy’s financial future. With an average acquisition price of $69,287, the company is now comfortably in profit. It strengthens the argument for crypto as a treasury reserve asset.

Will other companies follow Strategy’s lead?

Very likely. As more firms look to diversify balance sheets and hedge against inflation, Strategy’s bold moves could become a roadmap. The company’s blend of capital market tools and BTC conviction creates a model worth emulating. Its success might inspire tech companies, fintech startups, and even traditional players to explore bitcoin buys. If bitcoin continues its upward trend in 2025, corporate FOMO (fear of missing out) could drive a new wave of adoption.
