The latest news on Michael Saylor's Bitcoin purchases, specifically through his company Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), centers around their continued aggressive accumulation of Bitcoin. On June 30, 2025, Strategy acquired 4,980 BTC for approximately $531.9 million at an average price of $106,801 per coin, bringing their total holdings to 597,325 BTC, valued at roughly $42.4 billion with an average purchase price of $70,982 per Bitcoin. This purchase marked the 11th consecutive week of Bitcoin acquisitions since April 14, 2025, reinforcing Strategy’s position as the largest public company Bitcoin holder.
Saylor has remained vocal about his bullish stance on Bitcoin, emphasizing its role as a long-term treasury reserve asset. He hinted at this purchase on social media, stating, “In 21 years, you’ll wish you’d bought more,” aligning with his consistent pattern of announcing buys on Sundays. The acquisition contributed to a 19.7% year-to-date Bitcoin yield for Strategy in 2025, with a 7.8% yield for Q2 alone.However, Strategy’s stock has faced volatility, dropping nearly 50% from its November 2024 peak, closing at $239.27 after a 17% plunge on July 2, 2025. Despite this, Saylor continues to pursue Bitcoin accumulation, funded through cash reserves, debt issuance, and equity offerings, including proceeds from MSTR Class A shares and preferred equity vehicles STRK and STRF. Critics, like short-seller Jim Chanos, argue that Strategy’s valuation model is unsustainable, while others warn that corporate hoarding could reduce Bitcoin’s market liquidity and challenge its decentralization ethos.
Additionally, Saylor’s strategy has inspired other companies, such as Japan’s Metaplanet, which announced a purchase of 1,005 BTC for $108.1 million on the same day, bringing its holdings to 13,350 BTC. The broader trend of corporate Bitcoin adoption continues, with 134 public companies now holding Bitcoin, though Strategy’s 597,325 BTC dwarfs competitors like MARA Holdings (46,374 BTC).
Saylor’s long-term vision includes bold predictions, such as Bitcoin reaching $21 million by 2046, tied to its fixed supply of 21 million coins. He also proposed a roadmap with Adam Back to push Bitcoin to $3 million, aiming to “bitcoinize” the global economy. Despite market fluctuations, with Bitcoin trading at around $108,100 after dipping below $110,000, Saylor remains undeterred, advocating Bitcoin as a hedge against traditional financial systems.
These developments reflect both Saylor’s unwavering commitment to Bitcoin and the ongoing debate about the sustainability and impact of his strategy on the cryptocurrency market.
