  • Strategy chairman Michael Saylor hinted at a new Bitcoin purchase via social media.
  • The firm currently holds 553,555 BTC worth over $52.8 billion.
  • It has raised $84 billion to support further Bitcoin acquisitions.

Michael Saylor might be gearing up for another Bitcoin shopping spree for MicroStrategy. In a post on X, Saylor shared a screenshot of Strategy’s Bitcoin portfolio tracker with the caption: “Too much blue, not enough orange.”

This cryptic message suggests the software firm may soon expand its already record-setting Bitcoin holdings. Notably, orange dots on the tracker represent each instance of Strategy buying Bitcoin.

Strategy’s Massive Bitcoin Bet Deepens

The company holds 553,555 BTC, worth approximately $52.8 billion, accounting for more than 2% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply. Saylor’s remark indicates plans to increase that total. Notably, similar posts in the past have often preceded Bitcoin acquisitions, typically announced on Mondays.

Just last week, Strategy acquired 15,355 BTC for roughly $1.42 billion at an average price of $92,737 per coin. The move aligned with the firm’s aggressive accumulation strategy.

The company also reported a “BTC Yield” of 11% in the first quarter of 2025, raising its year-end target to 25%. BTC Yield measures the growth in Bitcoin ownership per share of company stock and reflects how effectively Strategy converts investor capital into digital asset holdings.

Funding the Next Bitcoin Buy: Capital Raise Doubles

To support its ongoing buying streak, Strategy has doubled its capital-raising target to $84 billion. The firm plans to raise $42 billion through equity sales and fixed-income securities. According to the public statements, the funds will be directed toward acquiring more Bitcoin.

This expanded war chest has increased speculation that Strategy’s next purchase could be its largest yet. With over half a million BTC already held, an additional buy could push total holdings closer to 600,000 BTC, a symbolic milestone.

Bitcoin Market Reacts to Saylor’s Post

Shortly after Saylor’s post, Bitcoin’s price climbed by nearly 3%, rising to around $95,000. As of this press time, Bitcoin is trading at $94,390.57, a 1.2% drop in the past day, cutting its monthly gain to 12.6%. 

Bitcoin has been trading in a narrow range for over a week, and investors are looking for catalysts. Strategy’s confirmed purchase could renew bullish sentiment and drive upward momentum toward the $100,000 mark.

If the firm executes another large buy, it may surpass traditional financial giants like BlackRock in the race to 1 million BTC. Meanwhile, BlackRock currently holds 607,685 BTC.

Saylor has consistently stated that price will not deter his strategy, famously saying he will “forever buy the top.” That approach suggests further Bitcoin purchases remain likely, regardless of market conditions.
