Saylor confirmed on X that his company purchased 7,390 BTC for $764.9 million. There was a minor error in his initial post, where he mistakenly suggested the purchase total was in billions.
This recent acquisition means Saylor’s firm now holds 576,230 BTC, representing a notable 2.74% of the available Bitcoin supply.
Saylor noted that the latest acquisition happened at an average price of around $103,498 per Bitcoin, resulting in a year-to-date yield of 16.3% for 2025. As of mid-May, the firm’s Bitcoin was acquired at a higher average price previously.
Earlier, Saylor had mentioned predictions regarding the “Digital Gold Rush” concluding by January 2035, urging followers to invest in Bitcoin soon.
On another note, Metaplanet is positioning itself as a counterpart to Saylor’s firm in Asia, recently announcing its purchase of 1,004 BTC for $104.8 million.
These transactions have possibly triggered a brief surge in Bitcoin prices, which surpassed $106,000 over the weekend.
According to recent data, Metaplanet currently controls 7,800 BTC valued at around $83.7 million. Their average purchase price was approximately $91,340 per coin, suggesting a paper profit of about $90.9 million at the time of writing.
MicroStrategy, Saylor’s company, has held significant Bitcoin reserves since August 2020, valued at roughly $20 billion, reflecting an unconfirmed profit of 48.6%.
Metaplanet is working towards its goal of acquiring 10,000 BTC by the year’s end.
However, recent figures indicate that the company’s Bitcoin yields are declining. Yield percentages have dropped from 309.8% in late 2024 to around 47.8% recently.
Saylor’s firm, on the other hand, has managed a 16.3% yield in 2025, albeit with a decrease over the past month as shares traded under the NASDAQ MSTR ticker.
