Michael Saylor’s bitcoin accumulation strategy reached its
five-year mark on Monday, with Strategy announcing a fresh purchase of 155 BTC
for $18 million. The buy brings the company’s total holdings to 628,946 BTC,
valued at nearly $76 billion, or about 3% of bitcoin’s fixed supply.
Five-Year Gains Outpace Bitcoin
Strategy adopted Bitcoin as its primary treasury asset in
August 2020. Since then, its stock has gained more than 3,000%, averaging 100%
annual returns, compared to bitcoin’s 1,000% increase. The company funded its
purchases through $46 billion in equity and credit, including $8.2 billion in
convertible debt and four perpetual preferred stock offerings.
Strategy has acquired 155 BTC for ~$18.0 million at ~$116,401 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 25.0% YTD 2025. As of 8/10/2025, we hodl 628,946 $BTC acquired for ~$46.09 billion at ~$73,288 per bitcoin. $MSTR $STRC $STRK $STRF $STRDhttps://t.co/WULee6PoNn

MSTR is now among the most actively traded U.S. equities. It
records $4.4 billion in daily share volume, just behind Google’s $4.9 billion,
and has $90 billion in open interest in options, second only to Google’s $99
billion. The company’s market cap stands at $112 billion.
Corporate Bitcoin Holdings Expand
Saylor’s approach has influenced other companies to adopt
bitcoin in their treasuries. Publicly listed firms now hold a combined 964,314
BTC, much of which is financed through capital raises following Strategy’s model.
Expect ongoing updates as this story evolves.
