Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin treasury firm has more than doubled its Bitcoin holdings since November last year — the month the US President Donald Trump won the federal election in a landslide vote.
Strategy has accumulated 376,571 Bitcoin (BTC), worth $43.2 billion at current market prices, since Trump’s election victory. Before Trump’s win, it had taken Strategy a little over four years to accumulate 252,220 BTC.
This means the firm accumulated 60% of its current 628,791 BTC stash in just the last nine months as Trump has been ushering in a raft of pro-crypto regulations and reversing the previous Biden-era policies of enforcement actions against the industry.
Strategy discloses third largest Bitcoin purchase
On Monday, Strategy disclosed in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing that it bought 21,021 BTC worth $2.46 billion in the past week, its third-largest purchase by dollar value since it began accumulating the cryptocurrency five years ago.
It has been buying at historically high prices, with the latest acquisition coming at an average price of $117,256 per coin, demonstrating continued conviction in its Bitcoin strategy despite elevated valuations.
The firm made two huge purchases of 55,500 BTC worth $5.4 billion and 51,780 BTC worth $4.6 billion following the US election in November, according to company records.

Bitcoin is a “freedom virus”
Strategy executive chairman Saylor described Bitcoin as a “freedom virus” in a segment on Fox Business on Monday.
“We think of it as a swarm creature because everywhere in the world, there’s someone supporting the Bitcoin ecosystem.”
It’s about as unstoppable as a swarm of hornets, adding that Strategy aims to provide twice the returns of BTC alone by issuing “credit instruments” through its Bitcoin Yield.

Wall Street doesn’t get it yet: Michael Saylor
“I don’t think Wall Street quite gets it,” Saylor continued, adding that the firm is the fourth most profitable finance company in the United States right now.
When asked about the raft of companies now adopting Bitcoin treasuries, Saylor said:
“It’s not a problem, all those companies who are adopting the Bitcoin standard, it’s just like companies deciding to put internal combustion engines in their machines, or use electricity, or the internet, or computers. It’s going to become the rule over time.”
Strategy posted a record $10 billion in profit in the second quarter last week.
Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings are now worth $72.2 billion, purchased at an average cost of $73,277 per coin. It holds around 3.16% of the entire circulating supply of BTC.
