Saylor’s Strategy Takes a Victory Lap with $9B Bitcoin Profit

Reading Time: < 1 minute

After years of relentless accumulation, Michael Saylor‘s Strategy Inc. is pausing its famous Bitcoin buying spree to celebrate a monumental win. The company’s high-conviction bet on Bitcoin has yielded a $3.9 billion unrealized gain in just the last quarter, serving as a powerful vindication of its “HODL” strategy.

With Bitcoin soaring to $125,000, Saylor signaled a break from tradition, opting not to add to the company’s colossal stockpile of 640,031 BTC this week. Instead, he showcased the strategy’s success, posting on X, “No new orange dots this week — just a $9 billion reminder of why we HODL.”

The pause allows the market to absorb the sheer scale of Strategy’s success: an initial investment now worth roughly $79 billion, turning the company’s digital asset treasury into one of the most profitable corporate holdings in history, albeit with a significant $1.12 billion deferred tax liability.
