- Strategy bought 1,895 more BTC for $180M, bringing its total holdings to over 555,000 coins.
- The company plans to raise up to $84B by 2027 to keep buying Bitcoin through stocks and bonds.
- Semler Scientific also joined the trend, buying 167 BTC as a hedge against inflation and store of value.
Michael Saylor’s company, Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), just bought another chunk of Bitcoin—1,895 coins to be exact—for about $180.3 million. This latest scoop-up happened between April 28 and May 4, according to a fresh SEC filing dated May 5, 2025. The average price? $95,167 per BTC.
Another week, another buy
To fund the purchase, Strategy cashed in on a previous stock sale plan—pulling in $128.5 million from common stock and another $51.8 million from STRK preferred shares. That sale plan is now wrapped up, and they’ve already kicked off a new one for the rest of the year.
With this latest buy, Strategy’s total Bitcoin stash now sits at a staggering 555,450 BTC. Yeah… over half a million coins.
Numbers getting… wild
So far, Strategy’s spent around $38.08 billion to build its Bitcoin war chest, at an average entry price of $68,550 per coin. At today’s price—roughly $96,000—their holdings are now worth more than $52 billion.
And just a week before this, they went even bigger—buying 15,355 BTC for $1.42 billion. That’s a whole lot of orange coin in a very short amount of time.
The company’s been scooping up Bitcoin nearly every week since the start of 2025. Right now, their return on BTC for the year is sitting at around 14%, but they’re aiming higher: a 25% yield and $15 billion in gains.
The plan? More BTC. A lot more.
Strategy’s roadmap is pretty clear—they want to raise up to $84 billion by 2027 to keep stacking BTC. They’ll do that by selling a mix of stock and bonds. And if you’re curious, they even have a live dashboard on their website that tracks their entire Bitcoin position in real time.
Michael Saylor’s still leading the charge. For him, Bitcoin isn’t just an asset—it’s the backbone of Strategy’s financial playbook. The company’s stock, MSTR, is holding up well overall, though it dipped 5% today to $377.06, per Yahoo.
Other companies are starting to follow
Interestingly, it’s not just Strategy doing this anymore. Semler Scientific, a lesser-known player in the medtech space, just grabbed 167 BTC for $16.2 million. That works out to about $97K per coin.
Semler says the move is about protecting against inflation and holding strong-value assets. They see BTC as a better long-term store of value than, well, just sitting on cash.
And this might be just the beginning. Analysts over at Bernstein think we’ll see more companies—especially those sitting on idle cash with slow growth—start moving Bitcoin onto their balance sheets.
