#SaylorBTCPurchase : MicroStrategy Increases Bitcoin Holdings, Market Responds Positively
Michael Saylor, Chairman of MicroStrategy and a prominent Bitcoin icon, once again drew market attention with the latest announcement: an additional purchase of 12,000 BTC worth over $800 million USD in April 2025. This action reinforces MicroStrategy's position as the publicly traded company with the largest BTC holdings in the world, now exceeding 240,000 BTC.
Saylor stated that this move is part of a long-term strategy to protect the company's value from fiat inflation and strengthen the financial balance sheet. He also emphasized that Bitcoin is a “superior” asset compared to gold and bonds.
The market responded positively. BTC prices rose over 3% within 24 hours of the announcement, driven by bullish sentiment from retail and institutional investors.
