MicroStrategy: $9M Hourly Bitcoin Purchase

You won’t believe this – Strategy, the company formerly known as MicroStrategy and a big believer in Bitcoin, just beefed up its crypto holdings again, adding a whopping 3,459 BTC to their books!
Want to see the official confirmation? According to a recent filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) dated April 14th, this latest Bitcoin shopping spree happened between April 7th and April 13th, and set them back approximately $285.8 million.
With this latest acquisition, get this: Strategy’s total Bitcoin treasure chest now sits at a massive 531,644 BTC! They’ve spent a grand total of $35.9 billion to amass this digital gold, including all the fees, which works out to an average buy-in price of $67,556 per Bitcoin.
And get this – at today’s Bitcoin prices, that colossal pile of BTC is now worth over $45 billion. Not bad, right?
So, how did Strategy pay for all these extra Bitcoins? Well, they funded this latest purchase by selling off some of their own company stock, specifically class A common stock. Just last week, the firm led by Bitcoin bull Michael Saylor issued 959,712 shares of MSTR, which brought in around $285.7 million.
Market watcher Ragnar pointed out just how quickly they raised this cash. He noted that the company was pulling in roughly $8.79 million every single hour while the US markets were open last week. That’s a mind-blowing $146,513 per minute!
Bitcoin yield
Michael Saylor himself, Strategy’s chairman and one of Bitcoin’s biggest cheerleaders, highlighted some impressive numbers. He mentioned that their Bitcoin yield for 2025 has already hit 11.4% since the start of the year.
This “Bitcoin yield” number is all about how much Bitcoin is increasing per share after accounting for everything, which is a really important way to see if the company’s Bitcoin strategy is actually boosting value for shareholders.
If things keep going at this pace, Cern Basher, who’s the co-founder and chief investment guru at Brilliant Advice, reckons Strategy’s BTC yield could skyrocket to 46% by the end of the year. That’s potentially huge!
