The roller coaster of bitcoin does not disturb Michael Saylor. When the flagship crypto consolidates, he couldn’t care less. Every dip is a new opportunity for him to pull the trigger. And once again, he did not flinch: his company Strategy announced an additional BTC purchase while the market hesitated, confirming an insatiable appetite that fuels both admiration and controversy.

In brief

  • Strategy bought 1,955 BTC for 217.4 million dollars in early September 2025.
  • Reserves now reach 638,460 BTC, valued at over 71 billion.
  • Financing comes from the sale of MSTR shares and preferred securities issued.
  • Metaplanet and El Salvador also continue their purchases, confirming a global rush.

Michael Saylor consolidates his Bitcoin empire without a shiver

On September 7, 2025, a document filed with the SEC confirmed the operation: Strategy acquired 1,955 BTC between September 2 and 7 for 217.4 million dollars. The average bitcoin price stood at 111,196 dollars per coin, a bet while the queen of cryptos oscillated around 110,000 $.

This new transaction raises total reserves to 638,460 BTC, for a valuation of more than 71 billion dollars in early September.

Michael Saylor publicly congratulated the performance of his strategy, noting that the company showed an impressive return. ” We have achieved a BTC return of 25.8% since the beginning of 2025,” he said. Before adding that “ as of September 7, 2025, we hold 638,460 BTC, acquired for approximately 47.17 billion dollars, at an average price of 73,880 dollars per bitcoin “.

With this announcement, Strategy confirms its position as the world’s largest institutional holder of bitcoin.

Strategy, a financing machine serving crypto

Strategy’s appetite is not only based on the will of its leader but also on well-oiled financial engineering. According to the official SEC filing, the acquisition was financed by the sale of 591,606 common MSTR shares, raising 200.5 million dollars, as well as by issuing preferred securities for about 16.9 million dollars.

This strategy relies on a range of innovative financial tools: the perpetual shares STRK, STRF, STRD, and STRC. Each of these instruments has a different profile, from cumulative dividends to convertibility into shares, allowing Strategy to adjust its risk and attract different investor profiles.

These programs are part of the so-called “84/84” plan, aiming to raise 84 billion dollars by 2027 to exclusively finance bitcoin purchases.

The result: a company that is no longer just a tech player, but a true financial laboratory dedicated to crypto. Such an approach fascinates as much as it worries, as potential dilution of shareholders remains a burning issue.

The global contagion: when treasuries bet on bitcoin

Strategy is not alone in this frenzy. The Japanese company Metaplanet announced at the same time the purchase of 136 BTC for 15.2 million dollars, bringing its total to 20,136 BTC. El Salvador, for its part, marked the fourth anniversary of its bitcoin law by symbolically acquiring 21 BTC.

Behind these announcements lies a global movement of corporate treasuries toward bitcoin, a trend that now structures the crypto ecosystem.

The striking numbers

  • Strategy holds 638,460 BTC, or more than 3% of the total supply;
  • The total acquisition cost reaches 47.17 billion dollars;
  • Metaplanet holds 20,136 BTC, valued at over 2.2 billion dollars;
  • 171 public companies worldwide now hold bitcoin.

But not all share the same fate: while Strategy shows gains, Metaplanet saw its stock plunge by 64% in a few months. Proof that crypto obsession can propel… or smash.

Michael Saylor’s insatiable appetite for bitcoin is not just a matter of corporate strategy. His conviction has also propelled him into the exclusive circle of great fortunes. His bets on crypto have recently exploded his fortune, landing him in the Bloomberg Top 500 billionaires. Behind the businessman is a character who fully embraces a total bet on the digital future.
