Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor has shown that the company plans to acquire more Bitcoin (BTC) after a nearly two-week pause in shopping.
The company’s latest acquisition of 22,048 Bitcoin on March 31 brought its total holdings to 528,185 BTC.
According to SaylorTracker, Strategy’s BTC investment has increased by around 24%, bringing unrealized profits of over $8.6 billion.
Amid the recent market slump, which fell below the $80,000 level of Bitcoin, the strategy continues to accumulate BTC and is still closely monitored by BTC investors as a barometer for BTC’s institutional benefits.

Bitcoin’s worthy stories grow despite recent price drops
Current macroeconomic uncertainty from the ongoing trade tensions between the US and China has negatively affected overall risk-on assets.
The stock market has wiped out trillions of shareholder value in response to Trump’s drastic tariff orders, and the crypto market has also experienced deep selling.
Data from Total3, an indicator that tracks market capitalization across the crypto sector, excluding BTC and ether (ETH), shows that Altcoins collectively flows more than 33% of their value since the market peaked in December 2024.
By comparison, BTC has only dropped by around 22%, above $109,000 from its peak in January 2025, and is currently in range and trading at the $84,000 level.

Bitcoin prices remained relatively stable amid the stock market’s $5 trillion sale, lending credit to use cases as an asset worthy of Bitcoin use cases, in contrast to risk-on investments.
Speaking to Cointelegraph at Paris Blockchain Week 2025, Adam Back, Cypherpunk and CEO of Digital Asset Infrastructure Company Blockstream, said macroeconomic pressure from a long-term trade war would make Bitcoin an increasingly attractive reservoir.
Over the next decade, back inflation will skyrocket to 10-15%, resulting in actual investment returns for traditional asset classes such as stocks and real estate that are extremely difficult for market participants.
“There’s a real prospect that Bitcoin has competed with gold and has begun to take away some of the gold use cases,” he told Gareth Jenkinson, managing editor at Cointelegraph.
