Strategy, previously known as MicroStrategy, acquired 1,895 more Bitcoin (BTC) for $180.3 million this week. Chairman Michael Saylor leads Strategy as the firm maintains its bitcoin purchase strategy through the blinking market volatility. This recent move further advances Bitcoin as the company’s main corporate asset.
The company purchased its latest batch of Bitcoin for an average of $95,167 when Bitcoin prices were stable. The firm’s Strategy currently possesses 555,450 Bitcoin, which makes it the biggest corporate Bitcoin holder. The corporation invested $38.08 Billion into Bitcoin, which averages to $68,550 per coin.
The drop in Strategy’s share price by 3.9% did not impair the company’s yearly 14.0% gain from its Bitcoin investments. Bitcoin holds no significance for the company, which maintains its stable perspective on it throughout an extended period. Unrealized profits from its operations have proven its strategic move.
Strategy Maintains Steady Bitcoin Buying Pattern
Strategy’s latest purchase reflects a steady buying pattern since initiating its bitcoin strategy in 2020. The organization buys bitcoin through funds obtained from stock issuances and debt instruments. The company makes its bitcoin acquisitions when the market price of Bitcoin remains relatively calm.
In April, the company executed two major acquisitions worth $1.9 Billion as part of its rapid accumulation strategy. MicroStrategy’s investing strategy follows CEO Michael Saylor’s idea that bitcoin maintains higher value retention compared to traditional financial assets. The strategy has drawn the attention of public companies that analyze the use of digital asset treasury.
The company’s asset portfolio currently holds $14 Billion worth of unrealized gains. This new investment, being smaller than previous purchases, maintains the established pattern of continuous expansion in the company’s asset portfolio. In spite of its first-quarter earnings failure, the company maintained its typical buying trends.
Strategy blends bitcoin holdings with its core software revenue to create a hybrid business model. The company can fund acquisitions by utilizing its portfolio growth and operating effectively in a volatile digital asset market.
The simultaneous use of recurring income and capital investments creates a stable foundation for upcoming business actions.
Semler Scientific Expands Bitcoin Holdings Again

Semler Scientific financed its Bitcoin acquisition through a stock offering where it sold 1.166 million shares for $39.8 Million at market value. The company made this purchase as its third bitcoin transaction disclosure within an under two-week period.
Semler Digital Asset has been gradually expanding its holdings in the digital asset market since its initial entrance and indicates through its investments that it will continue growing this segment.
Its total investment of $322.3 Million results in an average purchase price of $88,668 per coin. The recent business move indicates growing acceptance from non-technology companies in adopting digital asset strategies.
Unlike Strategy, Semler has no history of digital asset integration. The corporate world displays a new attitude through Semler’s decision to use treasury money on Bitcoin purchases. According to public documents, the company funded every recent acquisition through its equity capital.
