Strategic Accumulation Continues Despite Market Volatility
The acquisition was funded through the sale of 959,712 shares of Strategy’s Class A common stock (MSTR), which generated approximately $285.7 million. According to regulatory filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday, Strategy still has $2.08 billion worth of MSTR shares available for issuance and sale under its current ATM (at-the-market offering) program. Additionally, the company reports that $20.97 billion worth of STRK shares (the company’s perpetual preferred stock) remain available for issuance and sale, demonstrating Strategy’s substantial fundraising capacity for future Bitcoin purchases.
This latest acquisition represents Strategy’s first Bitcoin purchase since late March, when the company acquired 22,048 BTC for approximately $1.9 billion at an average price of $86,969 per Bitcoin. The company had paused its buying spree during the first week of April amid market volatility before resuming acquisitions last week.
Executive Chairman Michael Saylor foreshadowed the latest purchase by sharing an update on Strategy’s Bitcoin purchase tracker, cryptically stating, “No tariffs on orange dots” – a reference to both the ongoing trade tensions affecting markets and Bitcoin’s iconic orange logo symbol.

The company’s cumulative investment in Bitcoin stands at about $35.92 billion, with an average acquisition price of $67,556 per coin.

At current market prices with Bitcoin trading around 73,37,461.77 INR, Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings are valued at approximately $45 billion, representing an unrealized profit of around $9.1 billion or a 25% gain on its total position. According to Saylor, the company has achieved an over 11.4% yield on its Bitcoin investments since the beginning of 2025 alone.
This massive Bitcoin treasury is part of Strategy’s ambitious “21/21 plan,” which targets a total capital raise of $42 billion in equity offerings and fixed-income securities for Bitcoin acquisitions. The STRK and STRF perpetual preferred stocks are additional mechanisms beyond this initial plan that could enable even greater Bitcoin accumulation.
Navigating Financial Headwinds and Market Uncertainty
Strategy’s continued Bitcoin accumulation comes during a period of significant market uncertainty triggered by global trade tensions. US President Donald Trump recently announced new tariff policies, including a 90-day pause on higher reciprocal tariffs, reverting most countries to a 10% baseline while maintaining a 145% import tariff on Chinese goods. These policy changes have created volatility across global markets.
Despite these macroeconomic headwinds, Bitcoin has demonstrated remarkable resilience, staging a 10% recovery in the past week to trade above $85,000. Strategy’s unwavering commitment to Bitcoin acquisition signals strong institutional confidence in the cryptocurrency’s long-term value proposition even as traditional markets experience turbulence.
However, Strategy’s aggressive acquisition strategy is not without financial complexities. The company recently disclosed nearly $6 billion in unrealized losses for Q1 2025 after spending about $7.66 billion to acquire 80,715 BTC during the quarter at an average price of around $94,922. This coincided with Bitcoin’s worst quarterly performance since 2018, dropping nearly 12%.
The company carries approximately $8 billion in debt with $35 million in annual interest obligations and $150 million in yearly dividend payments. Despite these commitments, analysts at Bernstein note that Strategy’s debt remains manageable at under 13% with no payments due until 2028. The research firm predicts that Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings could potentially double to over 1 million BTC by the end of 2033.
Market Response and Future Outlook
Strategy’s stock (MSTR) has responded positively to the latest acquisition news, closing up 10.2% last Friday at $299.98 and gaining 15.3% for the week despite broader market volatility. The stock was up 3.3% in pre-market trading following the announcement of the Bitcoin purchase.
After an impressive gain of more than 568% in 2024, MSTR has faced more challenging market conditions in 2025. However, last week’s gains have brought the stock back to around break-even year-to-date, suggesting renewed investor confidence in the company’s Bitcoin-focused strategy.
Strategy continues to trade at a significant premium to its Bitcoin net asset value, with its $79.9 billion market cap substantially exceeding the value of its Bitcoin holdings. Some investors have expressed concerns about this premium valuation and the company’s increasingly numerous Bitcoin acquisition programs. However, supporters argue that this premium reflects the market’s valuation of Strategy as not just a Bitcoin holding company but as a pioneering corporate adopter leading institutional cryptocurrency integration.
Looking forward, the company has demonstrated its intention to continue its Bitcoin acquisition strategy despite short-term price fluctuations. With substantial funding still available through its various stock issuance programs, Strategy appears well-positioned to execute additional purchases in the coming months.
Bitcoin’s Resilience in an Uncertain Global Economy
The backdrop of Strategy’s latest acquisition is a global economy grappling with trade tensions, inflation concerns, and geopolitical uncertainties. Despite these challenges, Bitcoin has shown remarkable stability compared to traditional risk assets. Some analysts, including Jamie Coutts, have predicted that growing money supply could push Bitcoin’s price above $132,000 before the end of 2025.
Taking an even longer view, Joe Burnett, director of market research at Unchained, suggested to Cointelegraph that Bitcoin remains on track to surpass $1.8 million by 2035, potentially overtaking gold’s $21 trillion market capitalization as a superior savings technology.
As Bitcoin continues to navigate through global economic uncertainty, Strategy’s unwavering commitment to its Bitcoin treasury strategy reinforces institutional confidence in the digital asset’s long-term value proposition. With over half a million Bitcoin now in its treasury, Strategy has positioned itself not merely as a software company but as a pioneering corporate adopter helping to legitimize Bitcoin as an institutional asset class.
The company’s continued accumulation, even during periods of market volatility, demonstrates a conviction in Bitcoin that transcends short-term price movements – a philosophy that Michael Saylor has consistently championed. As global markets adapt to changing trade dynamics and monetary policies, Strategy’s Bitcoin strategy represents one of the most significant corporate bets on the future of digital assets.
