Strategy Grows Bitcoin Holdings to $58.5 Billion with Latest $1.34 Billion Purchase<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Strategy<\/a> has significantly expanded its Bitcoin<\/a> position with the purchase of 13,390 BTC for approximately $1.34 billion at an average price of $99,856 per coin. The company announced<\/a> the acquisition on X, revealing that the purchase took place between May 4 and May 11, marking one of its largest weekly BTC buys to date.<\/p>\n

As of May 11, 2025, the company now holds<\/a> a total of 568,840 BTC, purchased at a combined cost of approximately $39.41 billion, with an average cost basis of $69,287 per coin. The increase of 13,390 BTC in just one week reflects Strategy\u2019s continued high-conviction approach to Bitcoin as a core treasury asset.<\/p>\n

This latest purchase follows the company\u2019s prior update on May 5, when it disclosed the acquisition of 1,895 BTC for around $180.3 million<\/a> at an average price of $95,167 per bitcoin. At that point, Strategy held 555,450 BTC worth roughly $38.08 billion at an average purchase price of $68,550.<\/p>\n

In addition to growing its holdings, Strategy has seen a rise in its BTC yield performance. On May 4, the company reported a 14.0% year-to-date yield from its Bitcoin strategy. Just one week later, that yield has risen to 15.5% YTD. Which indicates that its investment performance has improved, due to successful execution of its current strategy.<\/p>\n

During last week\u2019s Bitcoin For Corporations event at Strategy World 2025, Michael Saylor<\/a>, Executive Chairman of Strategy, made a bold statement to tech companies to skip stock buybacks and start buying bitcoin as their reserve asset instead.<\/p>\n

\u201cMicrosoft is going to do a buyback,\u201d Saylor said. \u201cBuying Bitcoin would be 10x better than buying their own stock.\u201d Citing performance data, he argued that corporations sticking to traditional capital strategies are leaving massive upside on the table. Over the last five years, Microsoft stock returned 18% annually\u2014impressive, but far behind Bitcoin\u2019s 62% annual return. \u201cIf the cost of capital is the S&P 500 at 14%, Microsoft is outperforming by 4%. Bitcoin is outperforming by 48%,\u201d Saylor emphasized. \u201cBonds, by the way, are down 5%\u2014underperforming by 19%.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s aggressive pace of accumulation and strong BTC yield highlight a firm belief in Bitcoin\u2019s long-term potential\u2014not just as a hedge, but as a foundational asset for corporate<\/a> treasuries in the digital age.<\/p>\n\n
