Bitcoin News Today: MicroStrategy Buys $734M in Bitcoin, Holdings Reach 3% of Total Supply with 64% Gains

Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy, has reignited market speculation about a significant Bitcoin accumulation phase after sharing the SaylorTracker chart on X, a historical precursor to his company’s Bitcoin purchases. The signal, posted on July 7, 2025, aligns with MicroStrategy’s strategy of treating Bitcoin as a core corporate asset. Just days later, the company announced the acquisition of 6,220 Bitcoin for approximately $734 million, further solidifying its position as a major institutional holder. This purchase brings MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin holdings to over 3% of the total supply, with an average entry price of $71,777 and unrealized gains of 64% as Bitcoin trades near $119,500 [1].

Saylor’s SaylorTracker, a real-time indicator of the company’s Bitcoin activity, has long served as a leading signal for accumulation. The July 7 alert confirmed renewed activity, validating its predictive role. Analysts note that MicroStrategy’s large-scale purchases create a structural demand floor for Bitcoin, influencing market dynamics [2]. The recent acquisition, funded by a $2 billion fundraising on July 24, underscores the company’s ability to sustain its aggressive accumulation model through capital raises. This preferred stock issuance, offering a 9% monthly yield, attracts investors seeking indirect crypto exposure, blending traditional finance with Bitcoin’s volatility [1].

MicroStrategy’s treasury strategy, initiated in 2020, has transformed it into a benchmark for institutional Bitcoin adoption. By publicly tracking and communicating its purchases, the company has amplified Bitcoin’s legitimacy in mainstream finance. Saylor’s actions have resonated with institutional investors, with firms like Vanguard now holding 20 million MicroStrategy shares. The company’s inclusion in the Nasdaq 100 in December 2024 further reinforced its institutional credibility [1].

Market reactions to Saylor’s moves remain mixed. While Bitcoin’s price dipped 6.2% in 24 hours as of July 25, the broader crypto market saw a 17.6% decline over the preceding month [3]. Despite volatility, Saylor’s accumulation suggests a long-term bullish stance, betting on Bitcoin’s potential to outperform traditional assets amid macroeconomic uncertainty. Critics warn that large-scale purchases could distort prices during low liquidity periods, but Saylor argues Bitcoin’s scarcity and inflation-hedging properties justify its strategic allocation.

The implications extend beyond MicroStrategy’s balance sheet. By creating a narrative of institutional confidence, the company has catalyzed broader corporate adoption of Bitcoin. Analysts suggest Saylor’s transparency has normalized Bitcoin as a treasury reserve, though market caution persists due to its speculative nature [2]. With 1.1 million coins remaining until the 21 million maximum supply, MicroStrategy’s continued accumulation underscores its role in shaping Bitcoin’s trajectory as a digital store of value.
