MicroStrategy, led by outspoken Bitcoin bull Michael Saylor, is signaling plans to accumulate more Bitcoin following a brief pause in purchases. The company’s most recent buy on March 31 added 22,048 BTC to its holdings, bringing its total stash to 528,185 BTC—currently valued at over $44 billion.
According to data from SaylorTracker, MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin investment is now up by approximately 24%, boasting an unrealized gain of over $8.6 billion. Despite Bitcoin slipping below the $80,000 level amid recent market turmoil, Saylor appears unfazed.
The move comes at a time when global markets are reeling from escalating trade tensions between the United States and China. Former President Donald Trump’s latest tariff orders triggered a massive sell-off across equities, wiping out trillions in shareholder value. The ripple effects extended into crypto, where the Total3 index—excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum—shows altcoins have lost over 33% since their December 2024 highs.
Yet Bitcoin has shown remarkable resilience, dropping only about 22% from its January peak of $109,000 and stabilizing near $84,000. This relative strength is reinforcing its narrative as a store-of-value asset.
Speaking at Paris Blockchain Week 2025, Blockstream CEO Adam Back emphasized that the current macroeconomic backdrop favors Bitcoin. “There is a real prospect of Bitcoin competing with gold,” Back said, predicting inflation could spike to 10–15% over the next decade. Traditional assets like stocks and real estate, he argued, may offer limited real returns.
As Bitcoin continues to trade sideways, MicroStrategy’s unyielding strategy offers a signal to institutional investors that long-term confidence in BTC remains strong—even amid short-term turbulence. With inflation fears and geopolitical uncertainty mounting, MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin play may once again set the tone for corporate adoption.
