It has been <a href=\"https:\/\/beincrypto.com\/learn\/who-owns-the-most-bitcoin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">one of the world\u2019s largest Bitcoin holders<\/a> for months, but the company\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/beincrypto.com\/microstrategy-bitcoin-buy-130-btc-market-dip\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">purchase sizes have fluctuated wildly<\/a> in the last few weeks. <\/p>\n<p>Today, however, Michael Saylor announced that Strategy purchased a huge amount of Bitcoin:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cStrategy has acquired 6,911 BTC for ~$584.1 million at ~$84,529 per bitcoin and has achieved <a href=\"https:\/\/beincrypto.com\/learn\/bitcoin-interest\/\" target=\"_blank\">BTC Yield<\/a> of 7.7% YTD 2025. As of 3\/23\/2025, Strategy holds 506,137 BTC acquired for ~$33.7 billion at ~$66,608 per bitcoin,\u201d Saylor <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/saylor\/status\/1904142379646415203#m\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">claimed<\/a> via social media. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The price of <a href=\"https:\/\/beincrypto.com\/learn\/why-is-bitcoin-going-down\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bitcoin is very uncertain right now<\/a>, and this has left an outsized impact on Strategy. Last month, the firm began offering STRK, a<a href=\"https:\/\/beincrypto.com\/microstrategy-strk-top-performing-perpetual-security\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> new perpetual security<\/a>, to fund massive BTC acquisitions. <\/p>\n<p>Shortly before today\u2019s purchase, he <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/saylor\/status\/1903054771554075094#m\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">upsized<\/a> his latest stock offering by over $200 million.<\/p>\n<p>This has <a href=\"https:\/\/beincrypto.com\/microstrategy-makes-bitcoin-purchase-at-2-billion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reinvigorated the firm\u2019s purchasing strategy<\/a> but also left it with other serious problems.  In essence, Strategy will never be able to sell its Bitcoin without seriously damaging the market. <\/p>\n<p>The company has funded these purchases with <a href=\"https:\/\/beincrypto.com\/strategy-bitcoin-financial-issues\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">massive debt obligations<\/a>, but it has negative cash inflows. Saylor\u2019s routine acquisitions keep market confidence high, but the community watches carefully for any signs of diminished activity. <\/p>\n<p>Enthusiasts carefully watch for smaller purchases, and they would certainly notice a sale of any size.<\/p>\n<p>That is to say, what happens if Strategy\u2019s unsecured debt goes down if the price of Bitcoin goes down? The community would take <a href=\"https:\/\/beincrypto.com\/strategy-mstr-bitcoin-liquidation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a forced liquidation<\/a> as a very bearish sign. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/beincrypto.com\/microstrategy-faces-billion-dollar-tax-dilemma\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The company\u2019s tax obligations<\/a> are another possible source of trouble. For now, at least, the price of Bitcoin is on the mend.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"bitcoins bitcoin weekly price chart\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/beincrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image-224.png\"><figcaption>Bitcoin Weekly Price Chart.
