Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor has posted a Bitcoin (BTC) chart that signals more Bitcoin buying after a one-week purchase lapse.
The company completed its latest purchase on Feb. 10 by acquiring 7,633 Bitcoin, valued at over $742 million at the time. This brought Strategy’s total holdings to 478,740 BTC.
According to data from SaylorTracker, Strategy’s BTC stash is worth over $46 billion at the time of this writing, and the company formerly known as MicroStrategy is currently up 47.7% on its investment.
Saylor previously disclosed that the company sought to ramp up its use of “intelligent leverage” during Q1 2025 to finance more BTC purchases and create more value for Strategy’s common shareholders as it continues to be the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin.

Large corporate and state institutions bet on Strategy
Despite concerns about the sustainability of the Bitcoin acquisition plan, large financial institutions continue to invest in the company through buying shares or fixed-income securities.
According to a Feb. 6 Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing, BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, with over $11.6 trillion in assets under management, increased its stake in Strategy to 5%.
BlackRock's filing came one day after MicroStrategy rebranded to Strategy and adopted a Bitcoin-themed marketing scheme to reflect its core focus.

On Feb. 20, Strategy announced the pricing of a $2 billion convertible note tranche — its latest corporate securities offering — to fuel more Bitcoin acquisitions.
