If you thought Michael Saylor would be taking a day off over Easter and just enjoying a break, you’d be mistaken. Saylor, and his company Strategy, did what they do best: they added more Bitcoin to their coffers.
$MSTR has acquired 6,556 BTC for ~$555.8 million at ~$84,785 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 12.1% YTD 2025. As of 4/20/2025, @Strategy holds 538,200 $BTC acquired for ~$36.47 billion at ~$67,766 per bitcoin.
They now hold 538,200 BTC, maintaining their position as the largest public company to HODL.
In a post following the announcement of the purchase, Saylor said on Crypto Twitter that the firm delivered its shareholders a treasury operations gain of US$459 million (AU$716.5 million) this month.
“This is the income that results from investing in treasury assets like bitcoin and that is over and above capital gains.”
MicroStrategy’s choice to hold and manage Bitcoin as part of its corporate financial strategy is paying off for now. And Saylor is making a case for BTC as a legitimate corporate reserve asset.

Metaplanet Hits 10th Largest Corporate BTC Holder
Also adding to their Bitcoin holdings is Japanese crypto firm Metaplanet. The company, often dubbed the ‘Asian MicroStrategy’, has just bought another 330 Bitcoin.
Metaplanet has acquired 330 BTC for ~$28.2 million at ~$85,605 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 119.3% YTD 2025. As of 4/21/2025, we hold 4855 $BTC acquired for ~$414.5 million at ~$85,386 per bitcoin.
With this latest purchase, Metaplanet now holds a total of 4,855 Bitcoin. This makes them the 10th largest corporate BTC holder.
Other large holders are Bitcoin miners Marathon, Riot, CleanSpark and Hut 8; financial/crypto infrastructure firms Coinbase, Galaxy Digital and Block; as well as Tesla.
Interestingly, public companies – while boasting impressive holdings, especially those in the top ten – are only holding a total of 3.356% Bitcoin combined.
ETFs Remain Top, Amid Positive US Flows
The exchange-traded funds (ETFs), you probably guessed it, are by far the largest holders, with a 6.179% share, while countries – with the US, China, the UK and Ukraine holding most BTC – come in third place with a combined 2.522% share.
And the largest ETF of them all remains BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) with a substantial 573,187 Bitcoin. IBIT’s holdings are currently valued at over US$50.1 billion (AU$78.1 billion), making up 2.729% of all BTC supply.
The largest non-US fund is Swiss-based CoinShares/XBT Provider (XBTE) with 48,466 Bitcoin, or 0.231% of global holdings.
According to the list, the largest Australian Bitcoin ETFs are Global X (EBTC) and the Monochrome Bitcoin ETF (IBTC) with 1,346.4 and 308 BTC respectively. The funds make up around 0.007% of the total BTC supply.
The US spot Bitcoin ETFs have had a rough April so far, with most days closing in the red. However, the past few days have been a slight turnaround, with three out of the past four days of net inflows.
The most recent trading day – Good Friday, which isn’enumerate a federal public holiday in the US – saw US$106.9 million (AU$166.6 million) in net flows, with IBIT attracting the majority of inflows, a solid US$81 million (AU$126.2 million).
