Michael Saylor Continues Bitcoin Acquisition Strategy

Michael Saylor’s ongoing strategy for acquiring Bitcoin (BTC) moved forward on Monday with a purchase of $26 million in cryptocurrency, as reported in a recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The strategy announced the addition of 245 Bitcoin at an average price of $105,856 each, totaling $26 million for the transaction.

In a post on Monday, Saylor noted that this acquisition strategy has yielded an annual return of 19.2% on Bitcoin.

“As of June 22, 2025, 592,345 was priced at $70,681 per Bitcoin, equating to $418.7 billion,” Saylor stated.

This latest purchase comes amidst a notable spike in cryptocurrency markets, which saw an increase of over 3.5% on Monday following US airstrikes targeting Iran’s nuclear program during what has been dubbed Operation Midnight Hammer.

US President Donald Trump remarked on Saturday evening, “Iran’s major nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely wiped out.”

He added, “Iran, a bully in the Middle East, must now create peace. If not, future attacks will be much bigger and much easier.”

On June 22, Bitcoin dropped below the significant $100,000 threshold as the crypto markets reacted to escalating tensions stemming from a long-standing conflict between Iran and Israel.

A letter from Kobaisi, issued late Sunday, suggested that the market isn’t pricing in prolonged conflicts, labeling the current situation as potentially a “short-lived war.”

In a further escalation, on Monday afternoon, Iran confirmed it had launched missile strikes against Al Udeid, a US military base located in Qatar.

A representative from the Kremlin stated that Russia is prepared to assist Iran amid this dramatic surge in conflict. Despite these developments, the future reaction of the crypto market to increased global volatility remains uncertain.
