MicroStrategy Doubles Down—$1.42B Bitcoin Buy Proves Saylor’s High-Risk Recipe Works

Michael Saylor’s bet on corporate Bitcoin hoarding just hit a $1.42B payday. MicroStrategy’s latest purchase brings its total stash to 214,400 BTC—now worth over $15B at current prices.

The move comes as institutional FOMO reaches fever pitch. Wall Street’s late to the party (again), scrambling to justify why they mocked this strategy in 2020.

Meanwhile, the SEC still hasn’t approved a spot Bitcoin ETF. Maybe they’re too busy counting their T-Bill yields.

The purchase was made at an average price of $92,737 per Bitcoin, much higher than earlier buys. This move showcases the company’s strong belief in the long-term value of BTC.

Following this acquisition, the company’s overall Bitcoin holdings increased to a whopping 553,555 BTC as of May 2, 2025. Furthermore, recently, on April 28, the company has also acquired 15,355 Bitcoins for the same value. The company has now spent approximately $39.32 billion on Bitcoin over time, with an updated average cost per BTC of around $71,048.

As of press time, the price of Bitcoin stands at $97,616.10, reflecting an intraday gain of 1.10%. Given this, Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings of 553,333 BTC are valued at approximately $54.01 billion.

Due to Bitcoin robust’s performance in 2025, the company reported its BTC yield to be 13.7% so far this year. This indeed solidifies the triumph of its BTC-only treasury strategy led by Executive Chairman Michael Saylor.

Concurrently, Japan’s Metaplanet has also upsized its Bitcoin exposure, issuing ¥3.6 billion ($24.48 million) worth of bonds to finance further BTC purchases. This marks a growing trend of corporate adoption of BTC around the world with Metaplanet making recurrent BTC purchases.
