Michael Saylor’s Strategy has been expanding its Bitcoin treasury despite the fluctuating markets due to the rising US-Iran tensions. The company announced acquiring $1 billion worth of BTC today.
Michael Saylor’s Strategy Announces Fresh Bitcoin Acquisition
On Monday, April 13, Michael Saylor-led Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) declared the purchase of 13,927 BTC at a value of about $1 billion. The stash was acquired at an average price of 71,902 per Bitcoin. The latest addition supports its long-term purchase strategy even when the BTC price stays volatile.
Moreover, Strategy reported impressive long-term performance metrics that reinforced its position as the corporate Bitcoin treasury leader. It declared that it has already brought a BTC yield of 5.6% year-to-year in 2026.
As of April 12, 2026, the company boasts a reserve of 780,897 BTC worth approximately $59.02 billion. For its total holdings, the average price per Bitcoin stands at $75,577. For further context, during the weekend, Michael Saylor hinted at such an acquisition.
On Sunday, he wrote the phrase, “Think Bigger” on X. In addition, Michael Saylor attached the famous “Orange Dots” chart, which highlights all the BTC purchases made by Strategy to date. Every time he has shared this chart, a BTC purchase has followed. Hence, the latest acquisition came as no surprise to Bitcoin maximalists.
Moreover, last week the company had added $330 million worth of Bitcoin by purchasing 4,871 BTC. However, the MSTR stock showed a decline in the pre-market session today even with the recent BTC buying activity. At press time, the MSTR stock price was down 2.32% to $125.65.
BTC Price Continues to Suffer
Despite Michael Saylor announcing a fresh purchase, Bitcoin price is still under pressure with geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran. As of writing, BTC price dropped to $70,799.84, and it indicated risk-off trade in digital currencies.
However, earlier, BTC price hit a high of $73,000 as the US-Iran peace talks started last week. In addition, Bitcoin price has shown repeated resilience around the $70,000 support zone.
