The firm's total Bitcoin holdings reached 555,450 with an aggregate cost of $38.08 billion.
BTCUSD forms a double bottom with a bullish reversal, and a bearish trendline acts as resistance.
Michael Saylor has created a war chest, but Bitcoin sales aren't off the table (Source: Youtube).
Michael Saylor's Strategy acquired 1,895 BTC between April
28 and May 4, 2025. The company disclosed the purchase in an update released on
May 5. The total cost of the acquisition was $180.3 million, with an average
price of $95,167 per Bitcoin.
Meanwhile, BTCUSD appears to be forming a double bottom on
the H1 chart. The price has been in a downtrend for some time, respecting a
descending trend line. However, it bounced around the 94,000 level earlier
today.
As of writing, it has made another bounce, followed by a
bullish engulfing candle. A break above the 94,800 level could push the price
higher. The bearish trend line remains intact. A breakout above this line may
support a further bullish move.
Strategy's Bitcoin Holdings Reach 555,450 BTC
This purchase adds to Strategy’s growing Bitcoin holdings.
As of May 4, 2025, the company holds 555,450 BTC in total. The aggregate
purchase price of these holdings is $38.08 billion. The average purchase price
stands at $68,550 per BTC.
The company said the recent purchases were funded through
proceeds from its 2024 Common ATM and STRK ATM offerings. Strategy noted that
all figures include fees and other associated costs.
DeepSeek AI, a predictive analytics platform, has
contributed to the current Bitcoin debate with its projections for 2025. Using
machine learning, sentiment analysis, and economic data, the platform offers
insights into the future of digital assets.
DeepSeek AI focuses on Bitcoin, the market's leading
cryptocurrency, and outlines
three potential scenarios for its price in 2025. In the base case, Bitcoin
is expected to trade between $100,000 and $150,000. A bullish
“hyperbitcoinization” phase could push the price to $350,000, while a black
swan scenario may see it reaching $500,000. These predictions reflect optimism
about institutional adoption and the increasing acceptance of blockchain in
global finance.

Paytiko CEO Razi Salih on Why Payment Orchestration is a MUST-HAVE for Brokers in 2026
Paytiko CEO Razi Salih on Why Payment Orchestration is a MUST-HAVE for Brokers in 2026
At iFX Expo Dubai, Finance Magnates spoke with Razi Salih, CEO at Paytiko, about the evolution of the payments ecosystem and why payment orchestration has shifted from an option to a necessity for brokers, prop firms, and exchanges.
Mr. Salih explains how global expansion, the need for deep localisation, and the sheer number of new payment methods, from instant banking to stablecoins, are driving this critical infrastructure shift.

Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav sits down with Finance Magnates to discuss the core technology challenges facing CFD brokers and proprietary trading firms today.
Jadhav explains how the industry's reliance on batch processing and fragmented systems (where CRMs, risk tools, and trading platforms operate with separate 'sources of truth') leads to delayed data and inconsistent operational decisions. He argues that real-time event processing is essential for managing fast-moving trading activity and risk.
Learn how Altima's unified, event-driven architecture, connecting Altima CRM, Altima Prop, IB systems, and risk management through a single backbone, is designed to provide synchronous data and better operational coordination for modern brokerage and prop firm stacks.
Key Topics:
- Broker and Prop Firm Data Challenges
- The problem of delayed data processing (batch processing vs. real-time events)
- Fragmented systems and conflicting data sources
- Altima's unified, event-driven solution architecture
- The concept of a "risk-aware CRM"
- Built-in risk management in Altima Prop
