Michael Saylor’s digital asset company, Strategy, recently made a significant move by purchasing 3,459 Bitcoin for a total of $285.5 million, reaffirming its strong belief in Bitcoin despite ongoing global economic uncertainty.
The acquisition of these 3,459 Bitcoins at an average price of $82,618 per coin increases Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings to 531,644 BTC, which were purchased for a combined $35.92 billion at an average cost of $67,556 per Bitcoin. Since the start of 2025, this investment has yielded over 11.4%, according to Saylor’s post on April 14 via X.
This $285 million acquisition marks Strategy’s first Bitcoin purchase since March 31, when the firm invested $1.9 billion in Bitcoin.
Saylortracker data reveals that the firm currently holds over $9.1 billion in unrealized profit, representing a 25% increase on its total Bitcoin holdings as of 12:20 pm UTC.
Strategy’s ongoing Bitcoin purchases come despite a wider market slowdown and diminishing appetite for risky assets. This retreat is largely attributed to uncertainty surrounding global trade policies, following US President Donald Trump’s announcement of new tariffs.
On April 9, Trump disclosed a temporary 90-day pause on higher reciprocal tariffs, reverting most countries to the original 10% rate, with the exception of China, which still faces a 145% tariff.
Crypto Markets Show Resilience with Modest Growth Ahead of Key Economic Data
Despite the lingering uncertainty around trade talks, Bitcoin has experienced a remarkable 10% bounce in the past week, rising above $85,000 by 1:10 pm UTC, according to recent data.
“Crypto markets kicked off the week with a cautious recovery, following the sharp sell-off triggered by last Monday’s tariff announcements,” said Stella Zlatareva, dispatch editor at Nexo, a digital asset investment platform. She added, “Bitcoin is holding steady above $84,000, making a strong rebound despite the broader macroeconomic challenges. While the focus remains on US-China trade dynamics, crypto’s relative stability is noteworthy.”
Looking ahead, the economic calendar includes important data from China, Federal Reserve updates, and retail sales figures, all of which could influence the next moves in risk assets.
Amid tariff concerns, some analysts, such as Jamie Coutts, have forecast that Bitcoin’s price could surpass $132,000 by the end of 2025 due to the expanding money supply.
Looking at a longer time frame, Bitcoin is projected to exceed $1.8 million by 2035, potentially overtaking gold’s $21 trillion market cap as the dominant store of value, according to Joe Burnett, director of market research at Unchained.
