MSTR--
The acquisition follows Strategy’s aggressive accumulation strategy, which aims to increase its Bitcoin holdings to represent a significant portion of the total Bitcoin supply. As of the latest purchase, Strategy’s Bitcoin stash represents over 3% of Bitcoin’s total 21 million supply [2].
The company’s stock, MSTR, saw a 4.7% increase from Friday's close following the announcement. However, it remains down 3.4% year-to-date compared to Bitcoin’s 14.3% gain. The stock traded as high as $455 earlier in 2025, but current levels represent a 36% decline from these peaks.
Strategy’s Bitcoin stash has yielded a 26.0% year-to-date return, tracking the company’s Bitcoin returns separate from stock performance. This strong performance underscores the potential of Bitcoin as a long-term store of value and a hedge against inflation.
The company’s latest Bitcoin purchase brings its total acquisition costs to approximately $47.4 billion, with an average price of $74,010 per Bitcoin. This significant investment highlights Strategy’s commitment to Bitcoin as a core part of its treasury strategy.
