Strategic plan to raise $20 billion for additional purchases
The company shows no sign of its Bitcoin buying strategy. The strategic plan reportedly raised more than $20 billion from raising funds from selling stocks to future Bitcoin purchases. Even with Bitcoin’s relatively stable performance in recent months, this aggressive purchase remains.
The strategy acquired 6,556 BTC for $555.8 million, at $84,785 per Bitcoin and received a BTC yield of 12.1% YTD 2025. As of April 20/2025, it acquired 538,200 BTC for $36.47 billion and $6766 for $6766.

Metaplanet just acquired 330 BTC for more than $28 million, increasing its stake to 4,855 bitcoins, worth nearly $500 million. Japanese retail company ANAP also entered the game for $70 million in buying Bitcoin.

Stock prices soar after announcing purchases
Amid the company’s stocks rose, the strategy’s new Bitcoin purchase was announced. Starting Friday’s closing price, MSTR’s stock rose nearly 3% to $325 to $317 in extended trading.

This share performance seems to be related to recent changes in Bitcoin prices. As we said, cryptocurrencies have soared to $87,600. Observers point out that the high positive correlation between MSTR stock and Bitcoin price is understandable given the strategy’s huge exposure to digital currencies.
Some analysts remain alert to the latest price increase in Bitcoin. Crypto analyst Kevin Capital warned that Bitcoin must increase by more than $89,000 to verify the true uptrend. Before that, he advised market participants to remain vigilant.
If Bitcoin keeps rising over the next few weeks, stocks in strategy may do the same. Michael Saylor, the company’s executive chairman and co-founder, has pointed out in the past that MicroStrategy has released higher returns than other big assets since the implementation of the Bitcoin strategy.
Continuous institutional investments in Bitcoin by companies such as Strategy show that despite uncertainty surrounding long-term price stability and regulatory issues, the mainstream acceptance of cryptocurrencies as an effective asset class has increased.
