Michael Saylor Adds $1.42 Billion in Bitcoin to MicroStrategy Reserves

KEY FACTS

  • Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) bought 15,355 BTC for $1.42 billion between April 21–27, boosting its total holdings to 553,555 BTC.
  • The purchase was funded by selling MSTR and STRK shares, as part of the company’s $42B “21/21 plan” to increase Bitcoin reserves.
  • Both Strategy and Metaplanet have seen major gains in 2025, with Strategy posting $5.1B in unrealized Bitcoin profits and Metaplanet surpassing 5,000 BTC.

MicroStrategy, now officially operating as Strategy, announced another move on April 28, 2025, purchasing an additional 15,355 Bitcoin (BTC) for approximately $1.42 billion. The buy was made between April 21 and April 27, at an average price of $92,737 per Bitcoin, and it was announced on April 28

Executive Chairman Michael Saylor broke the news through a post on X, highlighting that Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings now stand at a staggering 553,555 BTC.

Last week alone, the company sold 4.02 million MSTR shares, raising about $1.4 billion. As of April 27, only $128.7 million worth of MSTR shares remain available for issuance under the current program.

Additionally, MicroStrategy sold 435,069 STRK shares, generating approximately $37.5 million, while over $20.92 billion worth of STRK shares are still available for future issuance.

These moves are part of MicroStrategy’s ambitious “21/21 plan,” which aims to raise a total of $42 billion through equity and fixed-income offerings, all intended to bolster its Bitcoin reserves.

However, Saylor updated X followers through Strategy’s Bitcoin tracker, sharing a simple message: “Stay humble. Stack sats.”

MicroStrategy and Metaplanet Reap Big Gains as Bitcoin Holdings Surge in 2025

Both MicroStrategy and Metaplanet have continued to aggressively expand their Bitcoin treasuries in 2025, capitalizing on the cryptocurrency’s bullish momentum. 

MicroStrategy’s latest acquisition of 15,355 BTC pushes its total holdings to a staggering 538,200 BTC, making it the largest corporate Bitcoin holder. 

Meanwhile, Metaplanet has steadily built its position, recently adding 145 BTC to surpass the 5,000 BTC milestone.

Metaplanet’s strategy, heavily front-loaded in the first quarter, has paid off handsomely. Its Q1 purchases contributed significantly to the $191 million in year-to-date gains, according to executive Dylan LeClair. 

For MicroStrategy, CEO Michael Saylor’s long-term vision is yielding unprecedented returns, with the company now boasting $5.1 billion in unrealized Bitcoin gains since the beginning of the year.
