Why Did Michael Saylor Spend $1.42 Billion on Bitcoin? Spoiler: It’s Not for Fun 🍿

by

So, Michael Saylor’s Strategy just went on a Bitcoin shopping spree—because buying a yacht is so 2019. They snapped up 15,355 Bitcoins last week, coughing up a casual $1.42 billion at around $92,737 a pop. Casual chump change, right?

Fast forward to April 27, 2025, and these folks are holding a mind-boggling 553,333 Bitcoins. Total tab? A staggering $37.9 billion, at an average price that makes your bank account weep: $68,459 per coin. Saylor’s love affair with Bitcoin treasury policy is basically the corporate version of a rom-com—but with way more crypto and a lot less heartbreak. 💔

And in case you missed it, Michael dropped the news himself on X (the new Twitter, same digital chaos).

“$MSTR has acquired 15,355 BTC for ~$1.42 billion at ~$92,737 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 13.7% YTD 2025. As of 4/27/2025, we hodl 553,555 $BTC acquired for ~$37.90 billion at ~$68,459 per bitcoin.”

In layman’s terms: Strategy’s Bitcoin stash isn’t just sitting pretty—it’s making money, with a juicy 13.7% yield this year. Sounds like buying high and loving it, but hey, MicroStrategy’s bold bets have made it the crypto equivalent of a corporate Bond villain’s treasure trove.

Market watchers and investors have been gawking at this Bitcoin bonanza since day one, debating if MicroStrategy’s obsession is genius or just a very expensive midlife crisis. Fun fact: their last purchase was just a week before, on April 21, 2025. Because why ease up now?
