Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin-focused firm, Strategy, has more than doubled its Bitcoin holdings since last November, when Donald Trump secured victory in the U.S. federal elections. In just nine months, the company has accumulated 376,571 BTC—worth approximately $43.2 billion at current market prices—marking a sharp acceleration compared to its earlier pace. Prior to the election, it had taken Strategy over four years to amass 252,220 BTC. This brings the firm’s total Bitcoin holdings to 628,791 BTC, representing roughly 3.16% of the circulating global supply. The surge in purchases coincides with Trump’s pro-crypto stance and the rollback of regulatory crackdowns seen during the Biden administration. Notably, Strategy’s Bitcoin buys post-election have come during a time of high market valuations, demonstrating strong confidence in the asset’s future trajectory. Record-Breaking Purchases Show High Conviction In a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing on Monday, Strategy disclosed that it purchased 21,021 BTC—worth $2.46 billion—over the past week. This marks the company’s third-largest acquisition by dollar value in its five-year history of accumulating BTC. The purchase was made at an average price of $117,256 per Bitcoin, indicating a willingness to buy even at premium valuations. Company records show two larger post-election purchases: 55,500 BTC worth $5.4 billion and 51,780 BTC worth $4.6 billion. These acquisitions demonstrate Strategy’s aggressive accumulation plan and deep conviction in Bitcoin as both a store of value and a corporate treasury asset. Strategy’s holdings are now valued at around $72.2 billion, with an average purchase cost of $73,277 per coin. The firm also reported a record $10 billion in profit for Q2 last week, positioning it as the fourth-most-profitable financial institution in the United States. Saylor: Bitcoin Is a “Freedom Virus” and Financial Revolution Speaking on Fox Business Monday, Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor described Bitcoin as a “freedom virus,” calling it a “swarm creature” that is impossible to stop. “Everywhere in the world, there’s someone supporting the Bitcoin ecosystem,” he said, comparing it to a swarm of hornets. Saylor noted that his company aims to outperform Bitcoin’s returns by offering credit instruments through its Bitcoin Yield program . “I don’t think Wall Street quite gets it,” he added. When asked about competitors entering the Bitcoin treasury space, he welcomed the move, likening it to the adoption of revolutionary technologies like electricity or the internet. “It’s going to become the rule over time.” The post Strategy Doubles Bitcoin Holdings Since Trump Win, Buys $2.46B More in a Week appeared first on TheCoinrise.com .
