Strategy acquired 6,911 more Bitcoin this past week, crossing over the important psychological milestone of holding more than half a million of the cryptocurrency in its reserves, founder Michael Saylor announced Monday.
Key Takeaways:
- MicroStrategy purchased 6,911 BTC for $584.1 million, surpassing the milestone of holding over 500,000 BTC in reserves.
- The company achieved a 7.7% BTC yield YTD 2025, reflecting its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy.
- The investment comes amid economic uncertainty due to Trump’s tariff policies.
- A Polymarket poll suggests Bitcoin may hit $110,000 in 2025, though confidence in surpassing that level is lower.
“$MSTR has acquired 6,911 BTC for ~$584.1 million at ~$84,529 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 7.7% YTD 2025,” Saylor wrote in a March 24 X post. “As of 3/23/2025, @Strategy holds 506,137 BTC acquired for ~$33.7 billion at ~$66,608 per bitcoin.”
Strategy Continues Bitcoin BuyupThe purchase, highlighted in this March 24 filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), comes just one day after Saylor suggested another Bitcoin acquisition could be on the horizon from the Virginia-based software firm.

Saylor Makes A Case For Crypto RegulationStrategy’s latest investment comes amid turbulent times for the digital asset sector as fear of U.S. President Donald Trump’s steep tariffs against foreign countries has hindered economic growth.
Despite Bitcoin’s postelection rally this past November, the token has largely declined since its peak of $109,000 in early January.
According to a Polymarket poll, most spectators believe the cryptocurrency will hit $110,000 this year, though its odds of increasing beyond that appear to decrease.
As of Monday, Bitcoin was up 2.42% as reports indicate that the scope of Trump’s impending tariffs may not be as wide-ranging as indicated.
Saylor, meanwhile, has played an active role in helping to influence crypto policy in the Trump administration.
Most recently, Saylor took part in the White House Crypto Summit earlier this month alongside key players in the crypto industry including Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, Gemini co-founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, and Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse.
During the summit, Saylor unveiled a crypto strategy that he argued could see the U.S. economy bolstered by $100 trillion.
In addition to establishing a strategic bitcoin reserve, the comprehensive framework would mandate an end to “hostile and unfair tax policies on crypto miners, holders, and exchanges” as a means of increasing the sector’s legitimacy.
However, it remains to be seen how Bitcoin’s value will be affected by emerging regulatory changes.
