Strategy Acquires 705 Bitcoin For $75 Million As Corporate Adoption Accelerates
Cointelegraph reports that Strategy acquired 705 Bitcoin for $75.1 million between May 26 and 30, 2025. The purchase occurred at an average price of $106,495 per coin during a week when Bitcoin dropped from $110,000 to an intraweek low of $103,400. The acquisition brings Strategy's total Bitcoin holdings to 580,955 BTC, valued at approximately $40.7 billion at an average purchase price of $70,023 per coin.
The latest purchase increased Strategy's year-to-date Bitcoin yield to 16.9%, up from 16.8% following their previous acquisition announcement. The company targets a 25% BTC yield by the end of 2025, having raised this target from 15% on May 1, 2025.
Corporate Bitcoin Adoption Reaches New Heights
Corporate Bitcoin adoption has accelerated rapidly throughout 2024 and 2025. CoinDesk data shows four publicly traded companies announced Bitcoin purchases in January 2025, with seven additional companies announcing strategies without acquisitions yet. NYSE-listed Genius Group increased its Bitcoin treasury to $35 million, while Nasdaq-listed Ming Shing purchased $47 million worth of BTC.
Bitwise Investments research reveals that 70 publicly-listed companies worldwide have adopted Bitcoin as a corporate treasury asset. The number of bitcoins held on public corporate balance sheets doubled in 2024, growing from approximately 263,000 BTC at the end of 2023 to around 594,000 BTC by early 2025. This growth rate of 127% far exceeds Bitcoin's supply growth of just 0.9% during the same period.
The Crypto Basic reports that corporate adoption rates increased 80% since January 2024, with 81 firms now holding Bitcoin on their balance sheets. Three Nasdaq 100 and two S&P 500 companies have adopted the Bitcoin standard, while businesses acquire approximately 1,000 bitcoins daily since January 2024.
Market Performance And Price Trends
Bitcoin's price performance in 2025 reflects both volatility and resilience. Finance Magnates reports that Bitcoin started the year strong, briefly touching $109,000 in January before experiencing a pullback. By April 8, Bitcoin reached its yearly low around $74,000, marking a nearly 30% drawdown from the peak. However, the decline proved temporary, with Bitcoin surging 24% within weeks to return to mid-$90,000 levels by early May.
Cointelegraph analysis shows Bitcoin's Optimized Trend Tracker (OTT) indicator has triggered for the first time since mid-2024, suggesting preparation for a major price movement. Technical analysts expect Bitcoin could reach $200,000 in 2025, with possible extension to $250,000 next year based on historical patterns.
Current market conditions show Bitcoin trading near $107,000 as of early June 2025, with CME Group data indicating Bitcoin now accounts for 54% of the $3.7 trillion global cryptocurrency market, up from 38% in late 2022.
Broader Market And Economic Context
The corporate Bitcoin adoption trend reflects broader economic concerns and investment strategies. Nasdaq analysis suggests that hundreds of companies may follow Strategy's lead in 2025, driven by favorable regulatory changes and reduced reputational risks. Strategy acquired 257,000 BTC in 2024 alone, exceeding the total Bitcoin mined that year of 218,829 BTC.
Traditional financial institutions and corporations view Bitcoin as protection against inflation and currency debasement. S&P 500 companies generate approximately $1.5 trillion in free cash flow, representing twice the total capital ever invested in Bitcoin, according to Bitwise research. This vast pool of corporate capital creates significant potential demand for Bitcoin adoption.
However, challenges remain for widespread adoption. River Financial research indicates that despite institutional gains, global Bitcoin adoption remains at only 4% of the world population as of 2025. Education gaps, volatility concerns, and scalability limitations continue to present barriers to mainstream acceptance.
The regulatory environment appears increasingly favorable for corporate Bitcoin adoption. Political support, including favorable policies from the current administration, may encourage more companies to explore Bitcoin treasury strategies. Financial institutions like BlackRock, Fidelity, and Vanguard have embraced Bitcoin through ETF offerings, providing additional legitimacy for corporate adoption decisions.
