Michael Saylor’s Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) unveiled a $10.7 billion Bitcoin purchase Monday, lifting its total holdings to nearly 500,000 BTC as the company resumed Bitcoin acquisitions after a two-week hiatus. It’s the smallest Bitcoin purchase in Strategy history, both in terms of BTC total and US dollar value. Strategy Snaps Up Additional 130 BTC According to a March 17 8-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Strategy purchased 130 Bitcoin for approximately $10.7 million at an average price of $82,981 per coin between March 10 and March 16. Strategy has acquired 130 BTC for ~$10.7M at ~$82,981 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 6.9% YTD 2025. As of 3/16/2025, we hodl 499,226 $BTC acquired for ~$33.1 billion at ~$66,360 per bitcoin. $MSTR $STRK https://t.co/8xRmR8vlIt — Michael Saylor (@saylor) March 17, 2025 The recent purchase represented Strategy’s smallest Bitcoin acquisition since the Tysons Corner, Virginia-based firm started accumulating Bitcoin in August 2020 under the leadership of Executive Chairman Michael Saylor. Since that time, the business intelligence firm has remodeled itself into a Bitcoin development company and pioneered the crypto treasury reserve asset model that other publicly traded companies have emulated. Strategy’s Massive $41 Billion Bitcoin Gamble While the latest buy is Strategy’s smallest, the company had its largest acquisition of 2025 on Feb. 24, scooping up 20,365 BTC for $1.9 billion, as ZyCrypto reported . Strategy announced earlier this month that it may soon sell $21 billion of its STRK preferred stock to acquire more Bitcoin. The announcement dovetailed the company’s plans in October to raise $42 billion through equity and fixed income sales in the next three years for additional buying power. Strategy now holds a whopping 499,226 BTC, valued at over $41 billion — making it the largest corporate treasury reserve holder of the apex crypto. For perspective, the company owns nearly 2.4% of Bitcoin’s total supply. However, that mark is considerably below Saylor’s recent suggestion that the United States should acquire 25% of the supply, adding that the massive Bitcoin reserve could generate between $16 trillion and $18 trillion in wealth for the U.S., thus helping eliminate the entire national debt. Regardless of whether or not the US purchases Bitcoin, Saylor stressed that he has no plans of halting BTC purchases, previously suggesting he would be “ buying the top forever ”.
