Michael Saylor’s Strategy buys $285M Bitcoin amid market uncertainty

Michael Saylor’s digital asset firm, Strategy, has purchased an additional 3,459 Bitcoin for $285.5 million, signaling continued confidence in Bitcoin even as global markets face trade-related headwinds.

Strategy has acquired 3,459 Bitcoin (BTC) for $285.5 million at an average price of $82,618 per BTC. The purchase brings Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings to 531,644 BTC, acquired for a cumulative $35.92 billion at an average price of $67,556 per coin, achieving an over 11.4% yield since the beginning of 2025, Saylor wrote in an April 14 X post.

The $285 million purchase marks Strategy’s first Bitcoin investment since March 31 when the company acquired $1.9 billion worth of Bitcoin, Cointelegraph reported.

According to data from Saylortracker, the firm is currently sitting on more than $9.1 billion in unrealized profit, representing a 25% gain on its total Bitcoin position as of 12:20 pm UTC.

Strategy’s continued accumulation comes despite a broader market pullback and declining appetite for risk assets. The downturn has been largely attributed to uncertainty surrounding global trade policy after US President Donald Trump announced a new round of tariffs.

Trump announced a 90-day pause on higher reciprocal tariffs on April 9, reverting the tariffs to the 10% baseline for most countries, except for China, which currently faces a 145% import tariff.
