In the dim glow of the trading room, where ledgers breathe like tired horses, Michael Saylor’s firm Strategy reveals yet another of its colossal purchases, a mirage that pretends to calm the restless soul of a man and his machines. The air is thick with the scent of numbers and the quiet laughter of fate.
The figures stand like altar candles: 13,927 BTC bought for approximately $1 billion, at a price of $71,902 per Bitcoin. A fortune measured in digits that sting the eyes and chastise the conscience in equal measure.
The money did not arise from the dilution of common stock, but from the proceeds of STRC sales-Strategy’s Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock, currently paying a variable monthly dividend of 11.5%. A curious instrument, part sermon, part arithmetic, which makes one wonder if virtue has a yield curve.
Strategy now holds 780,897 BTC, acquired for $59.02 billion. The firm, which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker MSTR, is the world’s largest corporate holder of Bitcoin and was the first public company to adopt BTC as its sole treasury reserve asset. A throne of contracts and confidence, erected upon a cliff of public scrutiny and private nerves.
Bitcoin is trading at about $71,461 at the time of writing. The top-ranked crypto asset by market cap is up 0.75% in the past 24 hours and more than 2.5% in the past seven days. The market fever continues, and the rest of us pretend not to notice the abyss staring back from the quarterly reports.
In a Bloomberg interview earlier this year, Saylor predicted that Bitcoin would not have to endure future boom-and-bust cycles. It is the kind of prophecy spoken over a glass of water that might win you a café-quiet miracle or at least a decent anecdote for the next board meeting.
“Winter’s not coming back. We’re past that phase. Bitcoin’s not going to zero, it’s going to $1 million.”
The Strategy founder said his bullishness was due to the Trump Administration’s embrace of crypto and the doors it opened for future institutional adoption. A political blessing, or at least a theatrical nod to the grand illusion that markets can be steered by cheerful headlines and balance sheets that sleep soundly at night.
“The banks are going to custody Bitcoin. Bitcoin has gotten through its riskiest period, the accounting has been corrected.”
“There’s now only 450 Bitcoin a day available for sale by natural sellers, that’s the miners. At this level, that works out to about $50 million of Bitcoin available for sale every day. If that $50 million is bought, then the price has got to move up to find any seller that’s price sensitive.”
