Bitcoin’s world’s largest corporate holder strategy expanded the Treasury by purchasing 155 BTC for $18 million.
The acquisition, announced on August 11, averaged $116,401 per coin, and in 2025 it received a 25% annual yield at the company’s Bitcoin position.
In particular, this is the second smaal purchase of the year, following a March purchase of 130 BTC in strategy.
According to filings, the company funded the August acquisition through sales of 115,169 contested (STRF) stocks in the market. The company still has more than $47.7 billion in shares allowed to be issued, providing enough capacity for future Bitcoin purchases.
After this purchase, the strategy holds 628,946 BTC, acquired at $460.9 billion, with an average of $73,288 per coin.
With Bitcoin currently trading at around $120,230, Stash is valued at around $75.6 billion, reflecting 63.5% profit and nearly $29 billion above its cost base.
Strategy marks 5 years of Bitcoin purchases
The acquisition coincides with the fifth anniversary of the Strategic Bitcoin Journey.
On August 11, 2020, the company, then known as MicroStrategy, purchased its first 21,454 BTC for $250 million, with an average price of $11,652.84.
Since adopting Bitcoin as a major Treasury reserve asset, the strategy has raised $46 billion through BTC-backed stock and credit offerings. The move provided an annual return rate of 100%, surpassing all S&P 500 shares during the same period.
During this period, the market capitalization of the Michael Saylor-led company skyrocketed from $1.2 billion to $118 billion in just five years.
Meanwhile, the company’s approach has influenced similar strategies around the world, including Japan’s Metaplanet.
Speaking about the key role of strategy in the industry, Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich praised Saylor and MicroStrategy for their lasting positive impact on the adoption of corporate Bitcoin around the world.
He added:
“(They) acted easily with courage and confidence. Many today followed the same path, but back then they believed in their vision and willingness to lead. Along with strategy, they can encourage a wave of Bitcoin finance companies, allowing Bitcoin to convert their balance sheets and have a positive impact on millions.”
