Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin Strategy: $1.9 Billion and Counting! 💰😮

by

Ah, Michael Saylor—lord and master of astonishing Bitcoin investment strategies, has once again graced us with his financial wizardry. On that fateful Monday, March 31st, his company, Strategy (which I suppose is an upgrade from the pedestrian ‘MicroStrategy’), made headlines for shelling out a staggering $1.9 billion on Bitcoin. Yes, billion with a ‘b.’ You could buy a small nation for that kind of change. Or at least a significantly large yacht. 🚤

And you’d think Saylor’s timing would be impeccable, but alas, he is diving into the pool while everyone else is busy checking for sharks. Indeed, Bitcoin has recently tripped over its shoelaces, plummeting 25% from its January high. But don’t worry, Saylor—it’s the thought that counts, right? This latest haul is, if you can believe it, the largest acquisition of tokens for Strategy this year. Can we get a round of applause? 👏

Strategy’s Bitcoin Bonanza: A Whopping $43.4 Billion!

Since late October, strategic brilliance has taken the form of nearly weekly buying frenzies, bringing Saylor’s Bitcoin hoard to an eye-watering $43.4 billion. For those of you trying to visualize this, that’s about 2.5% of the 21 million Bitcoin that will ever be made. So, if you’re a Bitcoin enthusiast, you might want to start playing the lottery for that last portion. 🎰

According to a recent filing with the US SEC—also known as the equivalent of a “guess what I bought” notice sent to regulatory babysitters—Strategy snatched up 22,048 Bitcoin at an average price of around $86,969 each. And they say romance is dead; clearly, there’s nothing like swiping your credit card at astronomical prices to ignite some passion for investment! 💔

This purchase forms a delightful chapter in a saga of financial frenzy, as the company has been enthusiastically increasing its Bitcoin bounty. Just in the first quarter, Strategy forked over approximately $7.79 billion for the privilege. The last notable shopping spree happened earlier in the year when they revealed their purchase of 20,356 Bitcoins on February 24. Did someone say shopping addiction? 🛒

How did Saylor finance this modern-day treasure hunt, you might ask? Through issuing common shares and preferred shares. Basically, he’s been shaking the money tree with great finesse. Since Saylor decided to transform his company’s cash into digital currency in 2020, its shares have skyrocketed by nearly 2,200%. I guess that’s one way to stay relevant in the ever-chaotic world of cryptocurrencies. 📈

Market Indicators Say BTC’s Not Done Yet

Meanwhile, Bitcoin is playing the longtime classic “will it, won’t it” with the support level of $80,000 after a dip to $76,000—its first trip to that ominous place since November 2024. But fear not! Some indicators suggest it might just be gearing up for a comeback tour. Think of it as a rock band reuniting after a long breakup. 🎸

Recent research from CryptoQuant even has some intriguing musings about Binance’s trading volume—apparently, it’s akin to a crystal ball for Bitcoin prices. Back in early 2025, when Binance’s trading outshone all others, Bitcoin was frolicking happily toward new heights of $109,000. If that’s not a motivational story, I don’t know what is!✨

Now, with the Binance vs. Other Exchanges BTC Volume Delta indicator in positive territory, traders are buzzing like caffeinated bees. The last time this occurred, BTC was chilling around $42,000 before blasting up to $73,000. So, if anybody needs a crystal ball, Binance might just be it. 🪄

At the beginning of 2024, Binance was raking in a volume 19 times greater than Coinbase’s—an amusingly lopsided ratio for those keeping score. As the gap gradually narrowed to a mere eight times, it further solidified Binance’s authoritative grip over the market. CryptoQuant believes that Binance’s dominance is destined to dictate the tumultuous currents of Bitcoin as it valiantly seeks to rise above the $80,000 magic line.
