Michael Saylor’s digital asset firm, Strategy, has acquired an additional 3,459 Bitcoin for a total of $285.5 million, demonstrating ongoing confidence in Bitcoin amidst challenges in global markets related to trade.
The recent purchase, made at an average price of $82,618 per Bitcoin, increases Strategy’s overall Bitcoin holdings to 531,644 BTC, which were acquired for a total of approximately $35.92 billion at an average cost of $67,556 per coin. This reflects an impressive yield of over 11.4% since the start of 2025, as noted by Saylor in a post on April 14.
The $285 million transaction is marked as Strategy’s first Bitcoin investment since March 31, when it purchased Bitcoin worth $1.9 billion.
Data from an analytics platform shows that the firm is currently enjoying over $9.1 billion in unrealized profits, which equates to a 25% increase on its total Bitcoin holdings as of 12:20 PM UTC.
Strategy’s continued accumulation of Bitcoin occurs even as the broader market experiences a downturn and a decreased appetite for risk assets. This market shift has been largely linked to uncertainties regarding global trade policies following the announcement of new tariffs by former President Donald Trump.
On April 9, Trump declared a 90-day delay on increased reciprocal tariffs, reverting them to a 10% baseline for most nations, with the exception of China, which currently faces a steep 145% import tariff.
