- Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings surpass $45B, signaling continued accumulation efforts.
- Rising expenses and losses highlight risks in Strategy’s aggressive Bitcoin strategy.
- Market uncertainty grows as Bitcoin drops 11% amid post-inauguration trade concerns.
Michael Saylor’s recent social media activity has ignited speculation on a potential new Bitcoin acquisition by Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy.
The company, a long-time Bitcoin advocate, has a history of hinting at its purchases through cryptic posts and chart updates. This pattern appeared again when Saylor shared a Bitcoin tracker on X, boosting market expectations.
Bitcoin’s price movements have added further intrigue, as the asset recently dipped below $96,000 before recovering above $96,500. With Strategy’s aggressive Bitcoin accumulation approach, investors are keenly awaiting any confirmation of another large-scale purchase.
Strategy’s Bitcoin Trove and Buying Habits
Strategy currently holds 471,107 Bitcoin, valued at over $45 billion. The company’s last purchase happened in late January when it acquired 10,107 BTC at an average price of $105,596 per coin. Even with the volatility in Bitcoin’s price, Strategy has steadily grown its holdings, using various financing methods, including both convertible notes and debt instruments.

The company has put in around $30 billion into Bitcoin at an average price of $64,500 per coin. This investment has created an unrealized gain of $15 billion, showing the firm’s strong belief in Bitcoin’s long-term value. As Bitcoin remains central to its corporate strategy, many expect Strategy to keep adding to its holdings, especially during market dips.
Financials and Bitcoin Bet
Despite its bold Bitcoin strategy, Strategy recently reported a $670.8 million net loss for the fourth quarter. The company’s expenses skyrocketed nearly 700% to $1.1 billion, mainly because of its ‘21/21 Plan,’ which targets investing $42 billion in Bitcoin over three years. So far, $20 billion of this allocation has been deployed, with a significant portion funded by debt.
Revenue also saw a decline, dropping 3% year-over-year to just over $120 million. This figure fell short of forecasts by approximately $2 million, suggesting potential challenges in the firm’s traditional business operations. Nevertheless, the company remains focused on its Bitcoin acquisition plan, reiterating its belief in Bitcoin as a long-term store of value.
Market Climate and Future View
Bitcoin’s price has slipped 11% from its record high of $108,786, set on January 20. The decline came after President Donald Trump’s inauguration, which introduced new tariffs that shook up financial markets.
