Michael Saylor announces strategy has gained 63,410 BTC so far this year
According to Michael Saylor, founder and chairman of the strategy, the digital asset management company has gained 63,410 BTC so far this year, worth approximately $5.1 billion. This income has brought the strategy’s Bitcoin holdings to 3.9% of the entire Bitcoin network, further solidifying the company's position as the largest corporate Bitcoin holder.
🔸 How has the strategy performed?
According to Saylor’s latest post, the strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings amount to 818,334 BTC, reflecting the company's aggressive accumulation pattern, which has been a bullish force driving the cryptocurrency’s rise over the years. Despite significant pressures in the global markets in 2026, the strategy continues to adhere to its Bitcoin purchasing philosophy, steadily accumulating this digital asset during the bear market.
It is noteworthy that in 2026, the strategy’s Bitcoin purchase rate is 2.5 times the number of Bitcoins produced by miners during the same period. As a background, the company's latest purchase of 34,164 BTC in April brought its total Bitcoin purchases in 2026 to over 100,000, with an average purchase cost of $75,537 per Bitcoin.
🔸 “Bitcoin Acquisition Machine”
In addition to boosting Bitcoin’s buying momentum, the strategy’s impact on the market is undeniable. The company has effectively created a “Bitcoin acquisition machine,” becoming an institutional catalyst and providing a blueprint followed by many firms. This has increased the adoption rate of the cryptocurrency and its resilience against bear market pressures.
For example, despite ongoing negative developments within the global economic ecosystem, Bitcoin has maintained a bullish outlook over the past month. Since early April, the cryptocurrency has risen over 25%, recently breaking through the significant resistance level of $80,000.
