Tysons Corner, Virginia, May 25, 2025 – Michael Saylor, the co-founder and chairman of the company ‘Strategy‘ (formerly MicroStrategy), is once again in the news regarding bitcoin. On May 25, he made a post on Twitter (formerly Twitter) in which he wrote:
“I only buy bitcoin with money I can afford to lose.”
This post was also accompanied by a chart showing how many bitcoins his company has bought so far. Now his company has 576,230 bitcoins, whose total value is around $62 billion (about Rs 5 lakh crores).
How many bitcoins were bought in May 2025?
Between April 28 and May 25, 2025, Strategy bought 22,675 new bitcoins. The average price of each bitcoin was around $107,487. In this way, the company made new purchases of about $2.44 billion (about Rs 20,000 crores).
When did the purchase of bitcoin start?
Strategy started buying bitcoin in the year 2020. Since then till now they have been buying continuously. He also shared a chart which has information about every purchase. This chart shows that he has chosen bitcoin as an investment for a very long time, whether the market is up or down.
Does the company also have some problems?
Yes, in the first quarter of this year (Q1 2025), the company’s earnings have come down slightly – \$111 million, which is 3.6% less than last year. Apart from this, there is also a lawsuit going on against him in which it is said that the company has exaggerated the profits from Bitcoin.
Still Michael Saylor is not ready to stop. He has further increased the company’s 2025 goals – now he wants a profit of up to 25% from Bitcoin (BTC Yield) and a total profit of $ 15 billion dollars (BTC \$ Gain).
How did people react?
Many people reacted to Saylor’s post.
- Some people called it a very good move,
- Some praised his courage,
But some reminded him of the old time when his company’s shares fell from $ 313 to $ 1 in 2000.
What will happen next?
Strategy has raised money by selling its shares to buy Bitcoin. This has helped them buy Bitcoin, but it has affected the price of shares of old shareholders.
Now everyone’s eyes are on whether this strategy of Michael Saylor is successful or not. For now, he has made it clear that he has full faith in bitcoin and will continue to invest in it.
