Saylor’s Strategy Doubles Bitcoin Holdings Since Trump’s Victory, Now Holds Over 3% of BTC Supply
Strategy, the Bitcoin-focused firm led by executive chairman Michael Saylor, has more than doubled its Bitcoin holdings since Donald Trump’s landslide election victory in November 2024. The firm’s aggressive accumulation reflects both confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term value and a supportive political backdrop for the crypto industry.
60% of Strategy’s BTC Bought Post-Election
Since Trump’s election, Strategy has acquired 376,571 BTC — around 60% of its total holdings — bringing its total stash to 628,791 BTC, now valued at approximately $72.2 billion. In comparison, it had taken the company over four years to collect the first 252,220 BTC.
The company’s average purchase price now stands at $73,277 per coin, a figure that reflects both long-term strategic conviction and a willingness to buy even during elevated market cycles.
$2.46B Purchase Becomes Third Largest
In a recent SEC filing, Strategy disclosed that it acquired 21,021 BTC in the past week for $2.46 billion, making it the company’s third-largest dollar-value purchase since it began accumulating Bitcoin in 2020.
The latest acquisition was made at an average price of $117,256 per Bitcoin, showcasing continued confidence despite market highs. Earlier major buys included 55,500 BTC for $5.4 billion and 51,780 BTC for $4.6 billion, both occurring in the months following Trump’s election.
“Bitcoin Is a Freedom Virus,” Says Saylor
Speaking on Fox Business, Saylor referred to Bitcoin as a “freedom virus”, likening its global support to a “swarm creature” that cannot be stopped.
“Everywhere in the world, there’s someone supporting the Bitcoin ecosystem. It’s about as unstoppable as a swarm of hornets,” said Saylor.
He added that Strategy aims to outperform Bitcoin’s price through its Bitcoin Yield program, which involves issuing credit instruments backed by BTC.
Wall Street Still Doesn’t Understand Bitcoin
Saylor also emphasized that traditional finance has yet to fully comprehend Bitcoin’s transformative potential:
“Wall Street still doesn’t get it. But over time, adopting Bitcoin will become as standard as adopting electricity, the internet, or internal combustion engines,” he said.

Despite this skepticism, Strategy has become the fourth most profitable finance company in the U.S., recently reporting a record $10 billion profit in Q2 2025.
Strategic Accumulation Amid Political Tailwinds
Strategy’s accelerated Bitcoin purchases coincide with a wave of pro-crypto regulatory reforms ushered in by the Trump administration. These include reversals of Biden-era enforcement actions and increased institutional support for digital assets.
The firm’s BTC holdings now represent approximately 3.16% of the total circulating supply, further cementing its status as the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin globally.
