Saylor unfazed by $6B Bitcoin loss in Q1 as MicroStrategy signals more buying after accumulating 528,185 BTC.
Saylor Just Lost $6B on Bitcoin and He's Signaling Even More Buying
Michael Saylor just watched $6 billion evaporate in a single quarter and his response is basically "so what?"
Strategy's Bitcoin whale just posted his classic BTC tracker on X, which is his subtle way of saying "we're about to buy more."
The man is unfazed by paper losses bigger than the GDP of some small countries, and the market is taking notice.
Strategy dropped a casual $7.66 billion on Bitcoin in Q1, scooping up 80,715 BTC at an average price of $94,922.
Then Bitcoin decided to have its worst quarter since 2018, dumping nearly 12% while Saylor was still busy buying.
The result? A $5.91 billion unrealized loss that would send most CFOs jumping out of windows.
But for Saylor, it's just another day at the office – he's still sitting on $8.6 billion in overall gains with Bitcoin at $83,700.
Strategy now holds a mind-boggling 528,185 BTC – that's almost 3% of all Bitcoin that will ever exist.
They've dropped $35 billion at an average price of $67,485 per coin, making your DCA strategy look like pocket change.
Their total stash is now worth around $44 billion, which is more than many Fortune 500 companies.
At this rate, Saylor might own a full 5% of Bitcoin's supply before most people even figure out what happened.
Strategy took a quick breather from buying during the week ending April 6, but only because they needed to reload.
The timing coincided with Bitcoin taking a nosedive below $75,000 before bouncing back over $80,000.
But on April 13, Saylor's tracker post appeared – the Bat-Signal for Bitcoin maxis that more buying is imminent.
Their last purchase on March 31 was a casual 22,048 BTC worth $1.9 billion – the kind of volume that makes even Binance take notice.
Saylor has mastered the art of creative financing in an effort to secure as much Bitcoin as humanly possible.
In Q1 alone, Strategy raised $7.69 billion through a mix of stock offerings, convertible notes, and preferred stock sales.
They generated $4.37 billion just from selling Class A common stock – basically printing money to buy magic internet money.
Another $1.99 billion came from convertible notes, plus $1.3 billion from something called "Perpetual Strike and Strife Preferred Stock" – which sounds like a Wall Street AI named it, but we’ll take it.
While Saylor was buying the dip, the entire crypto market cap dropped from $3.18 trillion to $2.63 trillion in Q1.
Bitcoin bounced around like a ping pong ball, with US-China trade tensions adding extra volatility to an already chaotic market.
The retail crowd mostly fled during this period, but institutions kept accumulating – just not as aggressively as our boy Michael.
If Bitcoin breaks resistance at $85,000, we could see a run toward the all-time high of $109,220 later this year.
Saylor has transformed from tech CEO to Bitcoin evangelist with a single-minded focus that borders on religious devotion.
When most companies see billions in paper losses, they change strategies – when Saylor sees losses, he doubles down.
Whether he's a visionary genius or completely unhinged depends entirely on where Bitcoin's price ends up in the next few years.
Either way, one thing's certain – nobody in corporate America has diamond hands quite like Michael Saylor.
