Strategy CEO Michael Saylor Once Again Stirred Up the Cryptocurrency Market
Strategy CEO Michael Saylor once again stirred up the cryptocurrency market this Sunday (13), when he published the company’s Bitcoin tracker on his X account (formerly Twitter). The gesture, which is common in moments leading up to a purchase announcement, comes just days after the company announced an unrealized loss of almost US$6 billion in BTC in the first quarter of 2025.
During the period, Strategy acquired 80.715 bitcoins at an average price of $94.922 per unit, while the asset registered a 12% drop, marking its worst quarterly performance since 2018. Despite the temporary losses, the company maintains its aggressive stance towards the main cryptocurrency on the market.

Strategy’s cumulative investment now totals approximately $35 billion, with an average entry price of $67.485 per BTC. Based on current prices, unrealized gains are in the range of $8.6 billion. The firm’s most recent purchase occurred on March 31, adding 22.048 bitcoins to its portfolio, valued at $1.9 billion, bringing its total holdings to 528.185 BTC — roughly 3% of the total supply of the coin.
In early April, Strategy halted acquisitions due to the lack of bids for its MSTR and STRK securities. Now, with Saylor’s new move, expectations are growing that purchases will resume in the coming days.
Bitcoin’s price fluctuated sharply last week, dropping below $75 before regaining strength and surpassing $80. The move occurred amid trade tensions between the United States and China. On Monday, BTC is trading at around $84.800, up 0.5% in the last 24 hours, according to data from TradingView.
