Saylor’s $2.5B Bitcoin Binge: Because Who Needs a Retirement Plan?

by

Well, slap my wallet and call me impressed-Michael Saylor’s firm, Strategy, has just gone on a Bitcoin shopping spree that would make even the most reckless Black Friday enthusiast blush. The company dropped a cool $2.54 billion on 34,164 BTC, because apparently, “diversification” is just a fancy word for “not buying enough Bitcoin.”

This latest haul brings their total stash to a staggering 815,061 BTC, acquired for a mere $61.56 billion. Yes, you read that right. Their average price per Bitcoin? A breezy $75,527. At this rate, Saylor’s probably got a Bitcoin-themed pool float and matching flip-flops.

This isn’t their first rodeo, either. Back in November 2024, they bought 55,000 BTC in what was then their biggest crypto purchase ever. Because, you know, why stop at one record-breaking buy when you can have two? Their second-largest acquisition was a modest 51,780 BTC, also in November. Clearly, someone’s got a type.

So, where’s all this money coming from? Oh, just the usual-86% from STRC sales (that’s their fancy Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock, which pays a juicy 11.5% monthly dividend) and the rest from MSTR common stock sales, because why not dilute a little when you’re on a Bitcoin bender?

Saylor’s not just hoarding Bitcoin; he’s bragging about it too. Strategy’s BTC yield is sitting pretty at 9.5% year-to-date. And let’s not forget, they’re the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder, trading on Nasdaq under MSTR. Because if you’re going to bet the farm, you might as well do it publicly.

Bitcoin’s current price? A tidy $75,655. It’s up 0.54% in the last 24 hours and nearly 5% in the past week. Not too shabby, unless you’re the kind of person who thinks “stable” means “boring.”

In a tweet that will surely age like fine wine (or spoiled milk, depending on who you ask), Saylor declared, “Bitcoin has won. Global consensus is that BTC is digital capital. The four-year cycle is dead. Price is now driven by capital flows. Bank and digital credit will determine Bitcoin’s growth trajectory. The biggest risk is bad ideas driving iatrogenic protocol changes.” Translation: Bitcoin’s the new black, and Saylor’s the fashion designer.

So, there you have it. While the rest of us are debating whether to buy avocado toast or save for a rainy day, Michael Saylor’s out here buying enough Bitcoin to fund a small country. And if his predictions are right, we’ll all be paying for our coffee in satoshis sooner than we think. Or, you know, we’ll just keep laughing at his tweets. Either way, it’s entertaining.
