Despite a $5.91B unrealized loss, Strategy continues to show confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term trajectory—hinting at further acquisitions.

With over 528K BTC on the balance sheet and a 17% overall gain, Saylor’s commitment highlights the institutional strength behind BTC accumulation.
After the institutional BTC buying hit a record in Q1 2025, CNF indicated this surge was driven by inflation concerns, accounting changes, and corporate treasury strategies.
Currently, Michael Saylor, the Executive Chairman of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), seems to remain undeterred despite the company’s recent $5.91 billion unrealized loss on its Bitcoin holdings in Q1 2025.
This is particularly notable given that the firm acquired 80,715 BTC during the quarter at an average price of $94,922 per coin. However, according to MarketWatch, Bitcoin’s price declined nearly 12% during the same period—marking its worst quarterly performance since 2018.

A Brief Pause and Potential Resumption
After a temporary halt in Bitcoin purchases during the week ending April 6, 2025—due to a lack of stock offering purchases for its MSTR and STRK securities—Strategy may now be gearing up for more acquisitions.
Saylor’s recent tweet featuring the Bitcoin tracker on X, which often precedes purchase announcements, suggests that the company might be preparing to resume its buying spree.
Bitcoin’s Market Performance
Bitcoin has shown notable volatility recently, falling below $75,000 before recovering above $80,000, amid rising US–China trade tensions.
As of now, Strategy holds a total of 528,185 BTC, representing nearly 3% of Bitcoin’s total supply. The company’s total investment in Bitcoin stands at approximately $35.63 billion, with an average purchase price of $67,458 per coin.
Despite recent paper losses, the current value of their holdings—about $44 billion—represents an overall gain of around 17% from their total investment. Despite market challenges, Saylor’s unwavering belief in Bitcoin’s long-term value signals that Strategy may continue expanding its position.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at approximately $84,702.48, reflecting a 0.08% increase in the past day and 9.71% over the past week, according to Coin Market Cap Data. See BTC price chart below.
