Michael Saylor, co-founder of Strategy, has suggested that the company is planning to increase its Bitcoin holdings following a brief pause in accumulation.
On March 31, the firm added 22,048 BTC to its reserves, bringing the total stash to 528,185 Bitcoin.
Per data from SaylorTracker, Strategy’s Bitcoin portfolio has surged by about 24%, reflecting unrealized gains exceeding $8.6 billion.
Even as Bitcoin briefly dipped below $80,000 due to recent market volatility, Strategy has maintained its buying momentum — reinforcing its status as a key institutional player closely followed by crypto investors.
Bitcoin Holds Strong as Market Chaos Grows
Despite the recent pullback in prices, Bitcoin’s appeal as a store of value appears to be growing amid ongoing global economic stress, particularly from the intensifying trade standoff between the U.S. and China.
Stock markets have been hit hard, shedding trillions in value following renewed tariffs by the Trump administration. Crypto markets weren’t spared either, with a sharp correction in altcoins.
According to the Total3 index — which excludes Bitcoin and Ether — altcoins have dropped over 33% since peaking in December 2024. In comparison, Bitcoin has only declined around 22% from its January 2025 high of $109,000 and is currently hovering near $84,000.
Despite a massive $5 trillion downturn in equities, Bitcoin’s relatively stable price action has strengthened its case as a hedge against economic uncertainty rather than a traditional risk asset.
Speaking at Paris Blockchain Week 2025, Blockstream CEO and long-time cypherpunk Adam Back emphasized that prolonged macroeconomic strain could further enhance Bitcoin’s reputation as a reliable store of value.
Back also predicted inflation rates could rise to 10–15% over the next ten years, making it increasingly challenging to generate real returns from conventional investments like stocks and real estate.
“Bitcoin could begin to rival gold and take over some of its roles,” Back noted.
