Business mogul Michael Saylor purchases a staggering $1.42 billion in Bitcoin (BTC), proclaims strategy a success
Rebranded Headline:
MSTR (Strategy) Snags $1.42 Billion Worth of Bitcoin with a 13.7% YTD Gain
Revised Article:
Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, continues its crypto-slaying tycoon ways, gobbling up another jaw-dropping sum of Bitcoin. Ex-CEO (and current Chair) Michael Saylor announced the purchase of 15,355 BTC for approximately $1.42 billion, setting their average purchase price at $92,737 per golden coin[1][3]. This latest acquisition brings MSTR's total Bitcoin stash to a whopping 553,555 BTC as of April 27, 2025[1].
Saylor, following up with his typical straight-talking style, reasons that the company's BTC-focused strategy is outperforming top-tier corporations this year[3]. He posts a chart that reveals MSTR's gains since January 2025, contrasted with other companies' losses during the same timeframe[3]. His words? "The strategy is working."
With MSTR's previous Bitcoin buys back in early April, the company has now boosted its positions every month so far this year. This newest purchase is part of an ambitious plan announced earlier in the year, as MSTR aimed to raise additional funds to add more digital gold to their reserves[2].
In February, the ambitious company announced a massive capital raise via stock offerings to fuel future Bitcoin acquisitions[2]. By March, Saylor announced that the company sold an impressive $21 billion in preferred STRK stock to fund Bitcoin purchases[3]. As of April 2025, MSTR owned 2.56% of the global circulating Bitcoin supply, according to data from BitcoinTreasuries.net[2].
MSTR's stock briefly dipped 2.7% on the day of the announcement, closing at $358 at writing time[3].
