Michael Saylor, through his company Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), has been actively acquiring Bitcoin as part of a long-term treasury reserve strategy since August 2020. Here’s a summary of recent Bitcoin purchase activity based on available information:

Additional Context:
• Strategy paused purchases during the week of March 31 to April 6, 2025, amid Bitcoin’s price dropping below $87,000, reporting a $5.91 billion unrealized loss in Q1 2025.
• Saylor hinted at a potential $1 billion Bitcoin purchase in May 2025, fueling speculation about further acquisitions.
• The company plans to raise $21 billion through equity offerings and $21 billion through fixed-income securities over three years to fund more Bitcoin purchases.
• Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings, as of April 2025, represent ~2.5% of Bitcoin’s total supply, making it the largest corporate holder.
Saylor’s strategy involves using proceeds from stock offerings (MSTR, STRK, STRF) and convertible notes to fund these purchases, with a long-term commitment to holding Bitcoin, famously stating he would not sell for 100 years. However, a regulatory filing on April 7, 2025, noted potential scenarios where Strategy might need to sell Bitcoin to meet financial obligations if Bitcoin’s value drops significantly.
