Michael Saylor’s Strategy Suspends Bitcoin Buying

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Michael Saylor’s company, Strategy, paused its Bitcoin purchases amid global financial instability, as noted in a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on April 7.

This pause signifies a shift from the firm’s usual aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy, occurring as digital asset markets grapple with new geopolitical risks. Strategy did not acquire any Bitcoin between March 31 and April 6.

The Virginia-based company, renowned for its substantial BTC holdings, started accumulating cryptocurrency in 2020 under Saylor’s leadership and currently possesses 528,185 BTC.

The filing also revealed that Strategy recorded $5.91 billion in unrealized losses in the first quarter of 2025. Bitcoin dropped by 10% after US President Donald Trump announced tariffs, intensifying volatility in both traditional and digital markets.
