Michael Saylor company Strategy now controls 671,268 BTC—equivalent to roughly 3.2% of all Bitcoin that will ever exist. According to a company update shared on social media, Strategy has added Bitcoin to its balance sheet every quarter since Q3 2020, completing 90 separate acquisitions over that period. The firm reports a total acquisition cost of about $50 billion, with an average purchase price near $75,000 per Bitcoin, and a current Bitcoin net asset value estimated at $60 billion.

The accompanying data shows a steady and accelerating rise in holdings, particularly from late 2023 onward, reflecting Strategy’s long-term conviction in Bitcoin as a strategic treasury reserve asset. Quarterly holdings have grown from just over 38,000 BTC in 2020 to more than 671,000 BTC by mid-December 2025. This aggressive accumulation strategy has made Strategy a bellwether for institutional Bitcoin adoption, reinforcing its role as a key player shaping corporate attitudes toward digital assets and long-term crypto investment strategies.
