Q2 2025 began with a little uptrend. Due to this, the company acquired its latest units of BTC at an average price of $95,167 per bitcoin. Therefore, Strategy has attained an all-time average purchase price of $68,550 per BTC.
Within five years, Saylor’s company has spent about $38.08 billion to acquire 555,450 BTC at various market prices. By the bitcoin spot price of $94,500 at press time, its bag is valued at $52.5 billion. The firm sits in a $14.4 billion profit.
Strategy’s BTC Success
As revealed by Saylor, Strategy’s stock, $MSTR, has risen by over 3,000% since the firm embraced BTC as a reserve asset and started acquiring the crypto in October 2020. Agreeing to this, a recent caller on Jim Cramer’s Mad Money show noted that he has only held the $MSTR stock for a few months and his portfolio value is up over 1,000% as a result of the company’s “bitcoin first, bitcoin only” strategy.
Remarkably, Strategy’s BTC success has not stopped it from filling its bag. It started 2025 with a plan to raise $21 billion for BTC purchases. Along the way, the firm doubled it to $42 billion and embarked on a weekly BTC purchase streak. Progressively, starting May 2025, the company has revealed plans to raise $84 billion for its subsequent bitcoin shopping spree.
Semler Scientific Follows Suit
One of the firms following closely in the footsteps of Saylor’s Strategy is Semler Scientific, an American-based health care company. The firm has adopted a strategic BTC reserve and occasionally purchases the apex coin from the open market. On the same day of Strategy’s latest purchase, Semler added about 167 BTC, worth $16.2 million, to its portfolio. It now holds 3,634 BTC.
