Between 19 May 2025 and 25 May 2025, Strategy made another bulk purchase of 4020 Bitcoins at a cost of nearly $427 million. This latest acquisition brings the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to an impressive 580,250 BTC, making Strategy one of the largest corporate holders of Bitcoin globally.
To finance this transaction, Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) sold a mix of common and preferred stock, including 847,000 shares of common stock (MSTR), 678,000 shares of STRK preferred stock, and 104,423 shares of STRF preferred stock.
A few hours before Strategy’s power move, Chairman Michael Saylor posted a portfolio tracker with the caption, “Orange is my Preferred Color.”
In April 2025, Saylor bought $1.4 billion of Bitcoin. The purchase, made between 21 April and 27 April 2025, was disclosed in a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). It marks one of their largest single-week purchases ever. This acquisition extended their streak of Bitcoin purchases to three consecutive weeks, accumulating digital gold.
