Strategy, the Bitcoin-focused corporate entity led by Michael Saylor, has acquired an additional 130 BTC for approximately $10.7 million. The latest purchase, disclosed in a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing, was made at an average price of $82,981 per bitcoin between March 10 and March 16.
With this acquisition, Strategy now holds 499,226 BTC, valued at over $41 billion at current market prices. For context, the company has spent approximately $33.1 billion on its total holdings, at an average purchase price of $66,360 per bitcoin.
Strategy’s Bitcoin Holdings Soar
Notably, the firm remains the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin. Michael Saylor, Strategy’s co-founder and executive chairman, has emphasized the company’s long-term commitment to Bitcoin, noting that its current holdings represent over 2.3% of Bitcoin’s total supply of 21 million.
Strategy has been aggressively accumulating Bitcoin since 2020. In 2025 alone, it has acquired 51,656 BTC across seven announced purchases.
Bitcoin Yield and Financial Strategy
Strategy reported a 6.9% year-to-date (YTD) Bitcoin yield, a metric that tracks the increase in Bitcoin holdings per share.
The latest purchase follows Strategy’s plan to raise up to $21 billion through the issuance of its perpetual preferred stock, STRK. Last week, it sold 123,000 STRK shares for approximately $10.7 million, the same amount used for its latest Bitcoin purchase.
Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin Advocacy and Market Reactions
Saylor remains one of the strongest advocates for Bitcoin as a long-term store of value. On March 7, he attended the White House’s inaugural Crypto Summit, held a day after President Trump’s executive order to establish a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR).
Saylor has suggested that the U.S. government should acquire up to 25% of Bitcoin’s total supply over the next decade to strengthen national financial security.
However, not all market analysts agree with Saylor’s approach. Economist Peter Schiff has repeatedly criticized Strategy’s Bitcoin strategy, warning that the company’s aggressive accumulation exposes it to financial risks, especially in the event of a market downturn.
Strategy’s continued Bitcoin accumulation aligns with its long-term vision of using Bitcoin as a corporate treasury asset. However, market volatility remains a key concern.
With Strategy nearing the 500,000 BTC milestone, market watchers will closely monitor its next move, especially as macroeconomic conditions and regulatory decisions influence Bitcoin’s trajectory.
