A Strategy, a company that has become a reference in Bitcoin accumulation, announced the purchase of another 7,390 bitcoins this Monday (19th). The amount is valued at R$ 4.3 billion.
Last week, Strategy had already bought another 13,390 bitcoins. In total, the company already holds 576,230 bitcoins, equivalent to 2.74% of the total supply of coins.
Meanwhile, investors are trying to profit from this strategy. While some buy MSTR shares, other famous traders choose to short the company while maintaining a long position in Bitcoin, functioning as a kind of arbitrage, since the papers operate with a premium on these reserves.
Strategy Buys Another R$ 4.3 Billion in Bitcoin
A document sent to the SEC shows that Strategy bought US$ 764.9 million (R$ 4.3 billion) in Bitcoin, totaling 7,390 coins. The purchases were made between May 12 and 18, showing that the company has divided the purchases to seek a better price.
“Strategy acquired 7,390 BTC for approximately US$ 764.9 million, at approximately US$ 103,498 per bitcoin, and achieved a yield of 16.3% in BTC year-to-date 2025. As of 05/18/2025, we hold 576,230 BTC acquired for approximately US$ 40.18 billion, at approximately US$ 69,726 per bitcoin.”
For comparison, El Salvador holds 6,181 bitcoins acquired over the past four years.
Strategy’s contribution comes as Bitcoin seeks a new all-time high. The cryptocurrency traded above US$ 107,000 this Monday morning, but is trading in the US$ 105,000 range at the time of writing.
The all-time high is US$ 109,350, recorded on January 20, 2025.
Excited about the rise, an investor opened a long position of R$ 2.8 billion in the futures market with a leverage of 40 times. According to the trader, Bitcoin is “about to erupt.”
BlackRock Continues with Strong Inflows
While Strategy holds 576,230 bitcoins, BlackRock’s ETF accumulates 614,757 coins. Although the company is accelerating purchases, the American manager continues with large inflows.
In May alone, IBIT recorded US$ 2.9 billion (R$ 16.3 billion) in purchases, without any day of outflows. Other managers did not have such a remarkable performance in the period, which shows the strength of BlackRock.
Currently, the price of Bitcoin is being guided by these corporate contributions and via ETFs. In addition to Strategy, several companies are using this strategy.
The expectation of major analysts is that Bitcoin will reach a value between US$ 500,000 and US$ 1 million in this cycle.
