#SaylorBTCPurchase Michael Saylor, a prominent Bitcoin advocate and co-founder of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), has been driving the company's aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy since August 2020. Strategy, the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin in the world, recently purchased 6,556 BTC for $555.8 million at an average price of $84,785 per coin, bringing its total holdings to 538,200 BTC, valued at approximately $47 billion. This purchase, funded through stock issuances, aligns with Strategy's goal of accumulating $42 billion in Bitcoin by 2027. Despite an unrealized loss of $5.91 billion in Q1 2025 due to Bitcoin's price volatility, Saylor remains steadfast, viewing Bitcoin as a superior store of value amid macroeconomic uncertainties such as U.S.-China trade tensions. Strategy's relentless buying, which includes a $1.9 billion purchase in March 2025, has positioned it as a representative of Bitcoin investment, with its stock soaring over 1,200% in two years. Saylor's strategy, although criticized for its risks, has inspired institutional adoption, although some argue this could hinder Bitcoin's usefulness as a currency by reducing liquidity. His influence continues to shape companies' Bitcoin strategies, reinforcing its role as a hedge against inflation.
