Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, has increased its Bitcoin holdings with another major purchase. The company acquired 22,048 BTC for $1.92 billion, according to its latest filing. This transaction brings its total Bitcoin ownership to 528,185 BTC. The company remains the largest public holder of the cryptocurrency.
This acquisition follows a recent purchase of 6,911 BTC for $584 million. Strategy has consistently expanded its Bitcoin reserves, using proceeds from stock sales and debt offerings. The Bitcoin investment strategy of the company remains unchanged despite recent market fluctuations.
Company’s Bitcoin Holdings Now Worth Over $35 Billion
Strategy now holds Bitcoin worth approximately $35.63 billion made at an average price of $67,458 per Bitcoin. The aggressive Bitcoin strategy of the company has made it a major player in the cryptocurrency market.
Strategy in March said it would raise $21 billion through preferred stock sales to fund further Bitcoin purchases. It then raised yet another $722 million to keep the buy spree going. This shows that the company is still going ahead with its Bitcoin investment strategy in the long run.
Market Reactions and Stock Performance
Despite the large Bitcoin purchase, Strategy’s stock price has declined. MSTR stock currently trades at a value below $300 after experiencing an over 3% pre-market decrease. Bitcoin’s price swings combined with market instability caused the recent decrease in value.
The stock briefly recovered above $300 last week but faced renewed selling pressure. Market analysts attribute the decline to external factors, including trade policies affecting investor sentiment. Strategy’s stock remains heavily correlated with Bitcoin’s price movements.
Long-Term Strategy and Market Influence
The company’s Bitcoin reserves account for approximately 2.5% of the total supply. Strategy continues to raise capital through stock sales to support its acquisition strategy. Some financial analysts remain skeptical, questioning the sustainability of this approach.
Peter Schiff, an economist, has often slammed Strategy for making Bitcoin purchases at the expense of stock sales. He says the company will have liquidity issues if it loses the ability to raise capital. Nevertheless, Strategy is confident in its long long Bitcoin strategy and its continuing digital asset accumulation.
Investors, meanwhile, are watching closely what Strategy’s next moves are in the face of Bitcoin’s volatile price. Despite uncertainty in the market, the company has been on an acquisition spree, which stems from the fact that it still believes in Bitcoin’s future value.
