Caught this update from Michael Saylor - MicroStrategy just reported picking up 17,585 BTC in the first two weeks of April, which came out to around $1.3 billion at the time. That's actually pretty solid given where Bitcoin was trading back then. The company's total stash now sits at 780,897 BTC, which is wild when you think about it.

What caught my eye is how they're tracking this as their main performance metric under what Saylor calls the Bitcoin Standard framework. They're looking at it like net income essentially. The numbers show a 2.3% quarterly yield so far, 5.6% year-to-date, and 22.8% for all of 2025. Year-to-date they've accumulated 37,339 BTC total with dollar gains hitting $2.779 billion. For the full 2025 year, it was 101,873 BTC and $8.915 billion in gains.

With Bitcoin bouncing around and now trading near $77.67K, their position is worth roughly $60.6 billion at current levels. Their average entry was $75,577 per coin, so they're sitting pretty close to that mark right now. The interesting part is their Stretch ATM facility pulled in over $1.76 billion in liquidity this week alone - enough to theoretically buy another 23,934 BTC if they went all in. Saylor mentioned the facility hit $1.56 billion after Tuesday's close.

MicroStrategy's strategy of consistent Bitcoin accumulation through market cycles is definitely something traders are watching. The stock itself was up 4% in pre-market after closing up 3.82% the day before. Meanwhile, Bhutan's been doing the exact opposite - dumped over 70% of their Bitcoin holdings, cutting from 13,000 BTC down to under 4,000 in the past 18 months. Mining there basically stopped after the 2024 halving made operations uneconomical. Wild contrast in how different entities are approaching their Bitcoin reserves.
