The recent trend in the cryptocurrency market has been thrilling, but Michael Saylor, known as the “Bitcoin Bull” in the crypto world, once again demonstrates his iron will. According to the 8-K report filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Monday, Strategy invested an additional $75.3 million from January 26 to February 1, acquiring 855 Bitcoins. Based on data posted by Michael Saylor on social media platforms, Strategy currently holds a total of 713,502 Bitcoins, valued at approximately $56 billion, with an average purchase cost of $76,052 per Bitcoin, and a total investment of about $54.3 billion (including related fees and expenses).

From the perspective of the overall Bitcoin supply, Strategy’s holdings are already quite significant, accounting for over 3.4% of the total 21 million Bitcoin supply. However, with recent price declines, such a large Bitcoin position is quickly eroding in unrealized gains. Based on current prices, Strategy’s unrealized profit (floating profit) has shrunk to approximately $1.2 billion. It is worth noting that Bitcoin briefly dipped below $76,000 on Monday, falling below Strategy’s average cost basis, resulting in the company’s first unrealized loss (floating loss) since October 2023, facing the risk of being “locked in.” Although the price later recovered, market speculation remains high on whether Strategy’s aggressive “debt-financed Bitcoin purchases” can withstand a prolonged bear market. Regarding funding sources, Strategy’s recent acquisitions continue to follow a familiar approach—selling its own stock to raise funds for Bitcoin purchases. Documents show that last week, Strategy sold a total of 673,527 shares of MSTR stock, raising approximately $106.1 million. The company still has about $8.06 billion worth of MSTR stock available for future issuance and sale.
