Michael Saylor Boosts Bitcoin Holdings Before Market Dip

Michael Saylor's firm added $75 million in Bitcoin just before the market crash, holding now 713,502 Bitcoin amid ongoing volatility. This investment reflects a long-term commitment despite risks.

Michael Saylor's firm added $75 million in Bitcoin right before last week's market downturn. This relatively modest purchase involved 855 Bitcoin at an average price of $87,974 each. Funded through the sale of common stock, these acquisitions were small compared to the company's previous massive buys. Now, Strategy (MSTR) holds a total of 713,502 Bitcoin, acquired for about $54.26 billion, averaging out to $76,052 per Bitcoin. After a significant price drop, Bitcoin is trading just above $77,000, leaving the company slightly above breakeven after five and a half years of investing in the cryptocurrency. MSTR's shares fell by 7.3% in premarket trading, reaching a multi-year low of $138.80. Saylor's strategy, while now underwater, reflects a long-term commitment to Bitcoin despite short-term volatility. This situation highlights the ongoing tension in the cryptocurrency market as investors weigh long-term potential against immediate risks. Michael Saylor’s actions signal a belief in Bitcoin's future, even as market conditions fluctuate.
