In a recent filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Strategy revealed that the funding for the Bitcoin purchase came from the sale of 123,000 shares of Series A preferred stock that generated approximately $10.7 million (Rp175.21 billion).

This strategy allowed the company to expand its Bitcoin portfolio without having to sell its class A common stock, which remained untouched during this purchase period.

With the latest acquisition, Strategy now owns 499,226 BTC, with a market value of over $41.6 billion. Their average purchase price for all BTC holdings is $66,360 (Rp1.08 billion) per BTC, including fees and expenses.

Bitcoin price fluctuates, will it rise again?

The Bitcoin market is currently experiencing high volatility. After dropping below $80,000 (Rp1.31 billion) last week, BTC is starting to show signs of recovery.

As of writing (18/3), Bitcoin price is up 0.03% in the last 24 hours and 3.08% in a week, although it is still down 13% in the last month.

These fluctuations are caused by various macroeconomic factors, including global trade policies and interest rate decisions from The Federal Reserve. However, some Bitcoin whales seem to be starting to capitalize on market momentum to counter selling pressure, which could push prices higher in the near future.

Strategy shares rise 100% in a year

Reporting from Coingape (3/17/25), Strategy’s (MSTR) share price is following the Bitcoin trend. At the close of trading last Friday, its share price reached $297, up 13% in a day and more than 100% in the past year, according to Yahoo Finance data.

Nonetheless, Strategy shares saw a slight dip in pre-market trading, along with Bitcoin price volatility. Investors remain wary of market movements, as Strategy’s financial health is heavily dependent on BTC’s performance.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff warned that BTC could drop to $20,000 if the Nasdaq index experiences a major correction. According to him, history shows that Bitcoin’s correlation with tech stocks could trigger a massive sell-off if the stock market experiences significant turmoil.

Overall, Michael Saylor continues to double down on his Bitcoin strategy, adding to his holdings with smart funding methods without compromising his company’s primary share structure.

Although the Bitcoin market is still in a volatile phase, this move shows his confidence in BTC as a long-term asset. With almost 500,000 BTC in Strategy’s possession, will this strategy pay off big in the future, or face greater risks?
