Bitcoin’s recent price correction has not shaken Michael Saylor’s conviction. The Strategy co-founder has once again indicated that his firm will continue to accumulate Bitcoin, treating the dip as an opportunity to expand holdings.
Strategy’s Growing Bitcoin Empire
As of the latest update, Strategy owns 628,946 BTC, valued at over $74.2 billion, according to SaylorTracker. The company’s most recent purchase came on Monday when it acquired 155 BTC for $18 million. Despite Bitcoin slipping from its $124,000 all-time high to around $117,000, the firm’s portfolio remains in deep profit — with over $28 billion in unrealized gains, reflecting a 60% return since its first purchases.
This aggressive acquisition strategy has made Strategy the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, surpassing the combined holdings of the next 10 largest treasury companies.
Accelerated Buying Since 2024
A striking trend is the pace of accumulation since Donald Trump’s election in November 2024. In just nine months, Strategy added 376,726 BTC, compared to the 252,220 BTC it took the firm over four years to collect previously.
This signals a more aggressive stance, positioning Bitcoin as the backbone of Strategy’s balance sheet and reinforcing its role as the flagship “Bitcoin proxy” stock for institutions and retail investors alike.
Strategy pioneered the corporate treasury Bitcoin model in 2020, sparking a wave of imitators and altcoin treasury initiatives. However, Michael Saylor remains unfazed by competitors. In a recent interview, he emphasized that capital inflows remain largely Bitcoin-focused, dismissing the impact of altcoin treasuries.
“We’ve gone from about 60 companies capitalizing on Bitcoin to 160 in the past six months, but my focus is still laser-like on Bitcoin,” Saylor said.
With Strategy doubling down, its stock continues to attract institutional funds restricted from holding BTC directly, alongside retail investors seeking Bitcoin exposure without self-custody risks. Since its first purchase in 2020, Strategy’s share price has appreciated nearly 2,600% over five years, highlighting how closely tied its performance is to Bitcoin’s long-term trajectory.
As Bitcoin consolidates around the $115,000–$117,000 range, Saylor’s signal suggests further corporate buying pressure could support the market. With nearly $75 billion in BTC holdings, Strategy is positioned as the dominant corporate force in Bitcoin adoption, reinforcing its role as a bellwether for institutional demand.
