In the world of digital currencies, few names evoke controversy and interest like Michael Saylor, co-founder and chairman of Strategy (formerly known as MicroStrategy). Since August 2020, the company has transformed from a traditional software firm into one of the largest institutional investors in Bitcoin, owning over 553,555 Bitcoins worth more than $36.5 billion by April 2025. In this article, we explore Saylor's latest moves in acquiring Bitcoin and how his strategy impacts the digital market and the global economy.

Continuous Acquisition Strategy

In late April 2025, Strategy announced the purchase of 15,355 Bitcoins worth $1.4 billion, marking the company's largest deal of the year. This acquisition, funded through the sale of preferred and common shares, reflects Saylor's unwavering commitment to his vision: Bitcoin is not just an investment asset, but a 'digital property' and a long-term store of value. Since the beginning of the year, Strategy has acquired an additional 91,800 Bitcoins, representing 17% of its total holdings, realizing unrealized gains estimated at around $15 billion.

What sets Saylor's strategy apart is its consistency and transparency. Saylor often hints at upcoming purchases through his posts on platform X, such as his famous phrase 'Stay Humble. Stack Sats,' which sparked investor speculation in April 2025. These posts, considered informal signals, are usually followed by official announcements of new purchases, boosting investor confidence in the company's commitment.

An ambitious $42 billion plan

In October 2024, Strategy unveiled the '21/21' plan, aiming to raise $42 billion by 2027 to fund Bitcoin purchases. The plan includes issuing $21 billion in equity and $21 billion in fixed-income instruments, such as convertible bonds and preferred stock. In March 2025, the company announced an 'ATM' program to sell preferred shares worth up to $21 billion, reflecting Saylor's determination to systematically enhance Bitcoin holdings.

Saylor, who personally owns more than 17,732 Bitcoins since 2020, sees this strategy as not just an investment but a 'bet on the future of the digital economy.' In March 2025, Saylor proposed to the U.S. government to allocate 5-25% of the total Bitcoin supply (equivalent to 5.25 million Bitcoins) as part of a 'strategic Bitcoin reserve' by 2035, anticipating that this reserve could generate between $16 to $81 trillion by 2045.

Market Impact and Reactions

Strategy's massive purchases have a direct impact on market dynamics. According to analysts like Adam Livingston, Strategy's daily accumulation rate (approximately 2,087 Bitcoins) far exceeds the daily supply from mining (450 Bitcoins), creating buying pressure that resembles an artificially induced 'halving' of supply. This institutional demand, alongside Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) inflows that reached $3 billion in one week in April 2025, contributed to stabilizing Bitcoin's price above $94,000.

However, Saylor's strategy has not been without challenges. In the first quarter of 2025, Strategy recorded unrealized losses of $5.91 billion due to Bitcoin price volatility, which fell below $80,000 on several occasions. The company's statements in April 2025 regarding the potential sale of some of its holdings in case of a sharp price drop raised questions about the contradiction with Saylor's famous motto 'Never sell Bitcoin.'

Vision for the Future

Michael Saylor is not just an investor in Bitcoin; he is an advocate for a global economic transformation. At the White House Digital Currency Summit in March 2025, he called for classifying digital assets into clear categories (such as digital commodities and digital securities) to reduce regulatory uncertainty and enhance institutional adoption. Saylor views Bitcoin as 'digital gold,' and owning it represents control over a 'virtual land' in cyberspace.
