Strategy (previously MicroStrategy), the Bitcoin (BTC) proxy firm led by Michael Saylor, has made headlines again with its latest acquisition of the market’s leading cryptocurrency.
In a Monday filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the company revealed that it purchased an additional 705 BTC between May 26 and June 1, bringing its total holdings to 580,955 coins.
Strategy Continues Bitcoin Buying Spree
This recent acquisition was made at an aggregate cost of $75.1 million, translating to approximately $106,495 per Bitcoin. Overall, Strategy’s Bitcoin investments now amount to around $40.68 billion, averaging about $70,023 for each token.
Following the announcement, Strategy’s stock, MSTR, rose 0.9% to $372.72, while the broader market showed mixed results, with the S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite gaining 0.4% and 0.7%, respectively.
Though the latest purchase is significant, it is not among the largest on record for the company, which has typically acquired thousands of Bitcoin in a single transaction. The smallest acquisition to date occurred in March, when MicroStrategy purchased just 130 tokens as the price of BTC remained below $85,000.
Strategy’s recent buying spree comes amid ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties that have affected cryptocurrency prices. Despite Bitcoin reaching a new all-time high of $111,8000 last week, the cryptocurrency has retraced nearly 6% from its record.
Nevertheless, the company has consistently taken advantage of the cryptocurrency’s price dips, marking its eighth consecutive week of Bitcoin purchases, ignoring any price fluctuation.
Arkham Tracks 97% Of Saylor’s Holdings
In a social media update on Sunday, Saylor hinted at the impending announcement, and on Monday, he shared details about the latest acquisition, stating that Strategy has achieved a Bitcoin yield of 16.9% year-to-date as of June 1, 2025.
However, according to blockchain analysis platform Arkham Intelligence, Strategy’s holdings may be even larger than reported, estimating them at nearly 625,000 BTC, valued at approximately $59.92 billion. This estimate includes 70,816 BTC identified by Arkham, which highlights the significant assets held by the company.
Arkham noted that it has tracked 97% of Saylor’s Bitcoin holdings, emphasizing that this is the first public acknowledgment of such substantial assets. They clarified that 87.5% of Strategy’s reported holdings consist of Bitcoin, with a portion held in Fidelity Digital’s omnibus custody.
Previously, the firm identified about 107,000 BTC that were sent to Fidelity deposits, which are not listed under the Strategy entity due to Fidelity’s custody practices.
In total, more than 327,000 BTC are held by Saylor’s Bitcoin proxy firm in segregated custody within the Strategy entity, further solidifying the company’s position as a significant player in the cryptocurrency market.
