While the entire crypto market is tossing and turning over price fluctuations, some are turning anxiety into opportunity with real money.
Michael Saylor has recently made a move again—purchasing 1.229 billion USD worth of 1229 BTC in one go. This operation may seem "mindless," but behind it is a carefully designed capital strategy.
You may have heard Warren Buffett's famous quote: "Be fearful when others are greedy, be greedy when others are fearful." In Saylor's case, this logic is played out to the fullest. When Bitcoin is still struggling around the $90,000 mark at the end of 2025, the founder of MicroStrategy continues to build his position unabated.
Numbers speak for themselves. As of mid-December 2025, MicroStrategy has accumulated 672,000 BTC, accounting for 3.2% of the total circulating supply worldwide, making it a true "Bitcoin whale." The total investment has reached $50.44 billion, with an average cost of $74,997 per BTC.
What does this mean? From another perspective—more than 3 out of every 100 Bitcoins in the world are locked in MicroStrategy's treasury.
Even more astonishing is the growth rate. In November 2024, MicroStrategy only held 279,420 BTC, and in just one year, it added nearly 400,000 BTC. This former business intelligence software company has completely transformed into Strategy Inc., officially shifting to a "Bitcoin structured financial operations" track.
From pursuing software revenue to accumulating BTC, this is not just a strategic adjustment but also a market judgment—or rather, an ultimate confidence in Bitcoin as an asset class.
