Saylor’s Strategy Doubles Bitcoin Holdings Since Trump’s Return

     

60% of firm’s BTC stash acquired in past 9 months amid pro-crypto shift

Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin powerhouse, Strategy, has more than doubled its Bitcoin holdings since Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, capitalizing on a wave of pro-crypto sentiment and deregulatory momentum.

Since November, Strategy has acquired an additional 376,571 BTC – worth $43.2 billion at current prices – pushing its total stack to 628,791 BTC. Notably, 60% of that total was amassed in the past nine months alone, outpacing its prior four-year accumulation of 252,220 BTC.

The firm’s aggressive accumulation comes as Trump dismantles Biden-era enforcement policies, signaling a sharp regulatory pivot that has emboldened institutional crypto players like Strategy.

Strategy Announces Third-Largest Bitcoin Buy Worth $2.46B

In a new SEC filing released Monday, Strategy revealed it purchased 21,021 BTC last week for $2.46 billion – the third-largest Bitcoin buy by dollar value in its five-year crypto acquisition campaign.

Despite buying near all-time highs, with an average price of $117,256 per BTC, the firm continues to show unwavering confidence in its Bitcoin-first treasury strategy.

Earlier post-election purchases included 55,500 BTC for $5.4 billion and 51,780 BTC for $4.6 billion – indicating a pattern of high-volume, high-conviction buys.

Saylor: Bitcoin Is a “Freedom Virus” Spreading Worldwide

Appearing on Fox Business, Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor likened Bitcoin to a “freedom virus,” calling it a “swarm creature” whose resilience comes from global grassroots support.

He emphasized that Strategy intends to outperform Bitcoin itself through credit-based instruments under its Bitcoin Yield product, offering returns beyond simple BTC appreciation.

Wall Street Still Doesn’t Understand Bitcoin, Says Saylor

Despite Strategy’s record-breaking $10 billion Q2 profit, Saylor believes traditional finance still underestimates Bitcoin’s long-term impact.

“I don’t think Wall Street quite gets it,” he said, adding that Bitcoin adoption by corporations will soon be as inevitable as embracing electricity, the internet, or internal combustion engines.

Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings are now valued at $72.2 billion – with an average purchase price of $73,277 per coin – representing roughly 3.16% of Bitcoin’s entire circulating supply.
