MicroStrategy, the leading corporate holder of Bitcoin globally, capitalized on last week's market downturn to expand its crypto reserves. Between May 26-30, the company purchased 705 BTC for $75.1 million, paying an average of $106,495 per coin. This acquisition occurred as Bitcoin's price fluctuated between $110,000 and $103,400, according to trading data.
The latest buy brings MicroStrategy's total holdings to 580,955 BTC — equivalent to 2.9% of all mined Bitcoin. Since beginning its accumulation strategy, the company has invested approximately $40.7 billion at an average cost of $70,023 per coin. ——This positions MicroStrategy as a bellwether for institutional crypto adoption——.
Despite market volatility, MicroStrategy's BTC holdings have generated a 16.9% year-to-date yield, up 0.1% from its previous disclosure. The firm has set an ambitious 25% YTD yield target for 2025, revised upward from 15% in May. 【Quarter-to-date yield currently stands at 5.4%】, per company filings.
Concurrent with Bitcoin purchases, MicroStrategy director Jarrod Patten sold 3,750 MSTR shares worth $1.4 million between May 22-29. The transactions briefly pushed the stock below $360, though shares recovered to $369 by week's end — still maintaining 【123% annual gains】 despite recent dips.
Industry observers highlight MicroStrategy's unique position as a Bitcoin proxy in traditional markets. "Their treasury now represents a blockchain-native store of value," noted analyst Jeff Walton, suggesting the company could emerge as a top-performing equity. The firm's latest 8-K filing confirms continuous evaluation of additional BTC acquisitions.
As of press time, Bitcoin trades at $104,200 with MicroStrategy's holdings valued at approximately $60.6 billion — a 48.6% unrealized gain on their total investment.
