Strategy Acquires Another $1.34B in Bitcoin as BTC Price Crosses $100K

Strategy, co-founded by Michael Saylor, has made another major investment in Bitcoin by purchasing 13,390 BTC for approximately $1.34 billion between May 5 and May 11, as the cryptocurrency’s price surged past the $100,000 mark on May 8. According to the company’s filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on May 12, Bitcoin was acquired at an average price of $99,856 per coin. As a result of this purchase, Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings increased by 2.4%, bringing the firm’s total to 568,840 BTC. Overall, Strategy has now spent about $39.4 billion to accumulate its Bitcoin reserve, with an average purchase price of $69,287 per Bitcoin. This move further reinforces the firm’s long-standing position as one of the world’s largest corporate holders of Bitcoin. Strategy’s Bitcoin Yield Climbs to 15.5%, Surpassing 2025 Goal In addition to the acquisition, Strategy has already surpassed its Bitcoin yield target for 2025. On May 12, Michael Saylor announced on X that the company’s Bitcoin yield had reached 15.5%. For the unversed, the Bitcoin Yield metric reflects the percentage change in the ratio between total Bitcoin holdings and the company’s assumed diluted shares. Previously, the company set a goal to maintain a 15% Bitcoin yield throughout 2025, following an impressive 74% yield achieved in 2024. Exceeding this target early in the year not only highlights the company’s effective treasury strategy but also strengthens investor confidence moving forward. Furthermore, Strategy’s continued investment in Bitcoin demonstrates a clear and sustained commitment to its digital asset strategy. By purchasing a significant amount of Bitcoin at a time when it crossed a major psychological threshold, the firm signals strong confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term potential. Earlier today, Japan-based MetaPlanet also increased its Bitcoin holdings, following Strategy’s multi-year BTC accumulation strategy. As institutional adoption of cryptocurrency continues to grow, Strategy remains at the forefront. The firm is actively managing its treasury to align with emerging market opportunities and its long-term financial vision.
