MicroStrategy Adds 15,355 BTC, Boosts Holdings to 555,450, 37.25% ROI

Billionaire Michael Saylor, the co-founder of MicroStrategy, has once again sparked speculation in the crypto market by posting a Bitcoin chart on Sunday. This move has fueled anticipation that the company may be on the verge of making another significant purchase of Bitcoin, marking the fourth consecutive week of acquisitions by the firm.

MicroStrategy's latest acquisition, on April 28, added 15,355 BTC to its holdings, bringing the total to 555,450 BTC. The current market value of these holdings is approximately $52.28 billion. The firm’s average cost per BTC stands at $68,569.45, while the current price hovers around $94,016. This puts the company’s unrealized gains at roughly $14.19 billion, representing a 37.25% return on investment.

Saylor's aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy has positioned MicroStrategy as a key player in the crypto markets, indirectly providing traditional investors with exposure to Bitcoin through the firm’s stock. Despite missing Q1 2025 earnings expectations, MicroStrategy's bullish stance on Bitcoin remains unwavering. The company reported $111 million in revenue, down 3.6% from a year ago and about 5% shy of analyst forecasts. However, it has added 61,497 BTC so far this year and is planning to raise an additional $21 billion via equity issuance to continue scaling its Bitcoin treasury.

Richard Byworth, a crypto-focused asset manager, suggested that MicroStrategy could further its strategy by acquiring cash-rich companies and converting those reserves into BTC. He also noted that buying directly from exchanges rather than over-the-counter (OTC) could lift market prices, further increasing the value of the company’s holdings. This kind of aggressive, market-visible buying could be a catalyst for Bitcoin’s next leg higher, especially with exchange balances historically low.

Currently, Bitcoin is trading around $94,000, caught in a tight consolidation zone defined by a descending trendline and rising support. The price has dipped below the 50-day EMA at $95,360, and the MACD signals fading bullish momentum. Traders are eyeing $94,750 as a key breakout level, with resistance ahead at $95,755 and $96,715. On the downside, support holds at $93,500. A break lower could expose BTC to further declines toward $92,248 and $91,185. Until a breakout is confirmed, traders are advised to remain cautious, use tight stop-losses, and avoid aggressive positioning.

Saylor’s renewed signal suggests that MicroStrategy may once again tip the scales in Bitcoin’s favor. As the company ramps up its buying pace—outpacing even daily miner supply—the market is watching closely. A confirmed breakout from the current wedge could be the trigger that sends BTC higher. Until then, price remains range-bound, but tension is building.
