Michael Saylor’s Strategy buys 130 Bitcoins for $10.7M, now holds 499,226 total

Michael Saylor’s Strategy has bought another 130 BTC for $10.7 million, paying $82,981 per Bitcoin. That brings Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings to 499,226 BTC, all acquired for $33.1 billion at an average price of $66,360 per Bitcoin, according to the company’s SEC filing on Monday.

Now, it’s clear: Saylor and his firm aren’t slowing down. They keep buying, no matter what the market is doing. And right now, the market isn’t exactly pretty. Bitcoin is down 14% in 2025 and stuck under $85,000, according to data from CoinGecko.

Strategy’s Bitcoin-buying strategy has been aggressive for years, and they’re still finding ways to fund more purchases. Last Monday, MSTR announced that it would issue and sell shares of its 8% Series A perpetual preferred stock, with a par value of $0.001 per share, to raise $21 billion. The company has already made it clear that proceeds from the sale will go toward acquiring more Bitcoin and covering general corporate expenses.

That means there’s likely more buying ahead. Strategy has hinted at exploring new business models, but it hasn’t abandoned its core approach—using stocks and debt to accumulate as much Bitcoin as possible.

Strategy holds strong as stock market rebounds and Bitcoin stalls

The stock market bounced back on Friday, shaking off losses from earlier in the week as the Nasdaq jumped by 2.61%, while the S&P 500 surged by 2.13% and the Dow Jones rose by 1.65%. The boost came after reports that a government shutdown is unlikely, as lawmakers are expected to pass a funding plan. Strategy’s MSTR also surged by a modest 0.5% during Friday’s trading session, according to data from CNBC.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin is moving in the opposite direction. It’s currently 26% below its January all-time high, with Trump’s aggressive tariff policies adding more pressure on risk assets. And yet, Strategy keeps buying.

Crypto watchers noticed Friday’s big Coinbase Prime outflows, with 19,984 BTC leaving the exchange. That got people talking—was Strategy finally coming bak to the market with its routine Monday buying?

Another large BTC transfer came from Anchorage, and then more Bitcoin moved into whale wallets, including a 162 BTC transaction. Using Coinbase Prime to buy Bitcion has been an on-an off pattern for Saylor since mid last year.

Meanwhile, spot Bitcoin ETFs have been getting wrecked, with $5.5 billion in outflows over the past five weeks, which is the longest exit streak since they launched in January 2024. What does that mean? Retail and institutional investors are pulling back, at least for now.

On top of that, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index is down to 32%, in extreme fear. Bitcoin has spent the past week hovering around $80,000, barely moving in either direction. Some see this as a chance to buy the dip, while others think there’s more pain ahead. Analysts are watching Bitcoin’s correlation with global money supply (M2) and its inverse correlation with the U.S. dollar index (DXY) to see where it could go next.
