Strategy’s Shocking Bitcoin Spree: $285M for 3459 BTC!

by

Once again, Strategy—formerly known as MicroStrategy—has proven that it’s not afraid to make waves. In a jaw-dropping move, the company snagged 3459 Bitcoin for the mind-boggling sum of $285.80 million, paying a casual $82,618 per Bitcoin. 🤯 Meanwhile, in a remarkable show of financial daring, the company has managed to achieve a BTC yield of 11.4% YTD 2025. Bold, right? But hold onto your seats—this is just the beginning.

As of April 13, 2025, Strategy now holds a grand total of 531,644 BTC, all for a mere $35.92 billion, averaging $67,556 per Bitcoin. Not bad for a few well-timed bets on the wild roller coaster that is Bitcoin, wouldn’t you say?

Strategy: Snagging 3459 BTC for a Mere $285.80 Million

In a recent declaration, Michael Saylor (yes, the man behind all of this madness) proudly announced that between April 1 and 13, the company dropped another $285.80 million to snatch up 3459 Bitcoin at an average price of—you guessed it—$82,618 per coin. Talk about commitment to the cause. This purchase followed a brief hiatus in Bitcoin acquisitions, probably to let the market catch its breath after all that excitement.

$MSTR has acquired 3,459 BTC for ~$285.8 million at ~$82,618 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 11.4% YTD 2025. As of 4/13/2025, @Strategy holds 531,644 $BTC acquired for ~$35.92 billion at ~$67,556 per bitcoin.

Clearly, Strategy’s faith in Bitcoin remains unwavering, even amidst a swirl of economic uncertainties. The company continues to stand firm as one of the largest institutional players in the crypto world, despite the market’s occasional tantrums.

Strategy Reports $5.91 Billion Loss in Q1

Let’s talk reality. Since the beginning of Q1, Bitcoin’s price has taken a nosedive from its glorious peak of $109K to a mere $74K. That’s an 11.82% loss, making it one of the ugliest quarters for Bitcoin. And naturally, this dip also led to a $5.91 billion net loss for Strategy. Ouch. 😬

So, what caused this bloodbath? Well, the global economy didn’t help, with Trump’s trade tariffs making everyone a little more jittery than usual. Maybe that’s just the price of putting your faith in something as unpredictable as crypto.

MSTR Stock Soars by 10%

But don’t write them off just yet. Despite the Q1 carnage, Strategy’s decision to double down on Bitcoin seems to have worked wonders for their stock price. MicroStrategy’s stock (MSTR) surged by a healthy 10% in just 24 hours and has climbed 15% over the past week. Talk about a bounce-back. 📈

This surge in value is largely attributed to a reduction in market jitters, with Trump hitting the pause button on tariffs for a cool 90 days. The market clearly took that as good news. Investors are apparently feeling more optimistic these days—at least, until the next roller coaster drop. 🎢

Crypto Market Today: A Bit of a Mixed Bag

And what’s happening in the wider crypto world? Well, the global cryptocurrency market saw a slight dip, with the market cap now resting at $2.69 trillion. It’s a little less frothy, but still holding on. 🏦

In a wild turn of events, MANTRA’s Real-world asset token (OM) saw its value plummet by a shocking 95% in mere hours. From $8 to $0.42—talk about a rug pull! 😱 Meanwhile, Bitcoin (BTC) is hovering at around $84,672, fighting to push past the $86K resistance level. A bit of a struggle, but nothing we didn’t expect from this feisty digital currency.

As for the rest of the crypto world, it’s not all doom and gloom. Ethereum (ETH) went up by 3.86%, Solana (SOL) gained 2.3%, and Tron (TRX) enjoyed a modest 4.86% increase. A little positive energy goes a long way, right? 🤷‍♂️
