One of the largest Bitcoin purchases of 2025 has just occurred: Strategy – formerly known as MicroStrategy – announced that it has spent an additional 1.4 billion USD to buy 15,355 Bitcoin just last week. This is the latest move in the company's multi-billion USD Bitcoin investment plan.
Strategy's Bitcoin assets have reached a massive milestone.
After this transaction, the total number of Bitcoins held by #strategy The holdings have increased to approximately 554,000 BTC, with an estimated market value of around 52.3 billion USD at current prices.
This is Strategy's third largest Bitcoin purchase of the year so far, only behind the 1.9 billion USD deal at the end of March.
The journey of buying Bitcoin: over half the way has been completed.
This transaction is part of the '21/21 Plan' that Strategy announced in October last year, with the goal:
Raising 21 billion USD through a traditional stock sale program (at-the-money equity offering).
Raising an additional 21 billion USD through the issuance of fixed-income securities such as preferred STRK shares.
After the latest announcement, Strategy has completed more than half of its plan to raise a total of 42 billion USD to continue buying Bitcoin, including corporate debt utilization.
Specifically:
The company has sold a total of approximately 20.9 billion USD of common stock since launching its stock sale program in October.
Only 128 million USD of common stock remains available for issuance.
Additionally, Strategy still has room to sell another 29.92 million USD of preferred STRK shares.
Where does the funding come from?
The new investment of 1.4 billion USD is primarily funded by:
97% comes from the sale of 4 million USD of common stock.
The remaining 37.5 million USD is raised from the sale of preferred shares #STRK – a type of security with no maturity date.
This shows that Strategy is maximizing financial channels to continuously strengthen its position in the Bitcoin market.
How is the market reacting?
After the latest Bitcoin purchase announcement:
Strategy's stock price fell slightly by 1.2%, trading around 363 USD/share.
However, over the past week, Strategy's stock has increased by 14.5%, along with the recovery of the US stock market after the uncertainties from the trade war.
The game is getting more crowded with competitors.
Although Strategy is currently the 'king' among businesses holding Bitcoin, the game may soon change.
Last week, Twenty One Capital officially launched on Wall Street, featuring major names such as:
The issuer of the stablecoin Tether,
The crypto exchange Bitfinex,
Financial giants Cantor Fitzgerald and SoftBank.
Twenty One Capital plans to accumulate at least 42,000 Bitcoin before starting to raise additional capital – this could make them the third largest Bitcoin holder in the world among businesses.
Connecting with the crypto market and Binance users.
Strategy's continuous increase in Bitcoin holdings may have positive effects on the overall crypto market. This move:
Supporting Bitcoin prices: Large purchases from institutions like Strategy can drive Bitcoin demand high, helping to stabilize or even increase the price.
Increasing positive sentiment for investors: The strong participation of major financial institutions reinforces confidence in Bitcoin's long-term value.
Creating investment opportunities: Binance users can take advantage of short-term fluctuations due to these large transactions to seek profitable trading opportunities.
However, investors should also be aware: As more large companies ramp up Bitcoin ownership, market volatility may become more unpredictable, especially during potential sell-offs.
