Michael Saylor’s Strategy Bags 130 Bitcoin To Boost Holdings

Strategy Inc., formerly known as MicroStrategy, has once again made a big Bitcoin move in its financial investment plan. In a recent X post, Strategy’s Chairman, Michael Saylor, revealed that the firm bought 130 more Bitcoin (BTC) between March 10 and 16. 

This comes as the crypto market continues to face uncertainty. This latest acquisition brings the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to a staggering 499,226 BTC, valued at over $41.6 billion at current market prices. 

Strategy Inc. Makes Bold Bitcoin Investment Amid Criticism 

The Nasdaq-listed company paid an average of $82,981 per Bitcoin for the 130 BTC, which means it spent a total of $10.7 million to add these assets to its portfolio. To fund this purchase, the company sold 123,000 shares of its Series A preferred stock, known as STRK shares. This sale generated around $10.7 million, enough to cover the Bitcoin buy.

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

No Class A common stock was sold during this time, so the company did not dilute its main stock structure. This move aligns with Strategy Inc’s approach to growing its Bitcoin holdings without disrupting its core stock setup.

This latest buy has pushed Strategy’s Bitcoin stash to 499,226 BTC, as the company has spent an average of $66,360 per Bitcoin across all its purchases. This shows that Saylor and his team have been consistent in their approach to Bitcoin despite market volatility.

Saylor believes Bitcoin will remain a strong investment over time, even though its price can be unpredictable. Reportedly, Strategy’s paper value has dropped massively as Bitcoin price continues to struggle. 

Critics Say Bitcoin Cannot Beat Gold

Many people, including well-known crypto critic Peter Schiff, believe gold will remain the best long-term store of value instead of Bitcoin. Schiff pointed out that Bitcoin’s price has recently fallen compared to gold, showing weaknesses in Bitcoin’s ability to preserve wealth.

Recently, an investor sparked a heated debate in the crypto world, claiming that Bitcoin might be replaced in the digital market soon. This comes as the asset’s price has continued to struggle to break past the $87,000 resistance level. 

It is still trading below $84,000, leading to reduced market confidence. 

Economic Factors Impacting Bitcoin Price 

Experts say Bitcoin’s price changes are partly due to worries about global trade and possible interest rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve. These issues can cause market uncertainty, affecting Bitcoin and other assets.

Meanwhile, some whale holders are trying to use the market’s momentum to push Bitcoin’s price higher. These moves could make the market more volatile, raising questions about whether some people are trying to influence Bitcoin’s price.

Nevertheless, a crypto millionaire predicted that Bitcoin is likely to hit $100,000 this March.
