Between May 19 and 23, Strategy bought 4,020 Bitcoin.
The move comes as market experts project more upward momentum in BTC price, towards the $140,000 range by the end of summer.

Bitcoin's rally past the $110,000 mark sparked a fresh
round of buying from Strategy, the corporate Bitcoin giant helmed by Michael
Saylor. But even as the company doubled down on crypto, its stock tumbled in
the face of legal trouble and insider sales.
Strategy revealed a new purchase of 4,020 Bitcoin
between May 19 and 23, totaling $427.1 million. The average price per coin was
$106,237, placing the buy just ahead of Bitcoin’s all-time high of over
$110,000 on May 22. The move continues Saylor’s long-standing approach of
accumulating Bitcoin regardless of market peaks.
Fourth Purchase in May
The latest buy brings Strategy’s total holdings to
580,250 BTC, worth over $63 billion at current prices. The firm has spent
around $40.61 billion on its Bitcoin stash, averaging $69,979 per coin.

This marks the company’s fourth BTC acquisition in May
alone, reaffirming Saylor’s commitment to long-term accumulation. In late 2024,
Saylor declared he would keep buying Bitcoin at the top “forever,” a stance the
company appears to maintain despite price volatility and growing regulatory
scrutiny.
Bitcoin Price Prediction
Bitcoin is no longer just a speculative asset
dominated by retail investors. As corporate treasuries increasingly incorporate
BTC into their long-term strategies, the market is undergoing a fundamental
shift.
Tracy Jin, the COO of MEXC, highlighted to financemagnates.com how institutional momentum is reshaping Bitcoin’s trajectory and what
that means for the broader crypto ecosystem in the second quarter.
“The sharp pivot by many corporations integrating BTC into
their long-term investment strategies is fundamentally reshaping Bitcoin’s
market dynamics. What was once a retail-driven market and highly cyclical asset
has become a cornerstone in institutional finance,” Jin opined.

“This investor behavior dynamics highlights that most
institutions are less focused on short-term market volatility and have eyes on
Bitcoin’s potential asymmetric upside and long-term value proposition,” she added.
Jin forecasts that if institutional and corporate
momentum continues, Bitcoin could soon break through resistance levels around $109,500 to $112,000 and aim for $140,000 by late summer.
However, if macroeconomic pressures dampen corporate
demand, BTC could test support near $106,000 to $107,000, with a deeper drop
toward $94,000 if those levels fail.
Stock Drops 6% After Class-Action Lawsuit
Despite Bitcoin’s gains, Strategy’s stock hasn’t
followed suit, currently down 6% in the past week. The stock hit a record close of around $474 on November 19, 2024,
but investor sentiment has soured following a lawsuit filed on May 19.
The class-action suit alleges the company misled
shareholders about its Bitcoin investment strategy. The complaint seeks damages
for those impacted by what it claims was securities fraud in April 2025.

The legal battle adds a layer of risk for shareholders
even as Bitcoin continues to rally. Saylor’s Strategy remains one of the most
aggressive institutional Bitcoin buyers. While its crypto holdings swell in
value, the firm now faces the dual pressure of shareholder litigation and a
falling stock price.

In this interview, we sat down with Charlotte Bullock, Head of Product at The Bank of London, previously at SAP and now shaping product at one of the sector’s most ambitious new banking players.
Charlotte reflects on the Summit so far and talks about the culture inside fintech banks today. We look at the pressures that come with scaling, and how firms can hold onto the nimble approach that made them stand out early on.
We also cover the state of payments ahead of her appearance on the payments roundtable: the blockages financial firms face, the areas that still need fixing, and what a realistic solution looks like in 2026.

In this conversation, we sit down with Drew Niv, CSO at ATFX Connect and one of the most influential figures in modern FX.
We speak about market structure, the institutional view on liquidity, and the sharp rise of prop trading, a sector Drew has been commenting on in recent months. Drew explains why he once dismissed prop trading, why his view changed, and what he now thinks the model means for brokers, clients and risk managers.
We explore subscription-fee dependency, the high reneging rate, and the long-term challenge: how brokers can build a more stable and honest version of the model. Drew also talks about the traffic advantage standalone prop firms have built and why brokers may still win in the long run if they take the right approach.
