Strategy has secured nearly 14,000 Bitcoin in its latest cryptocurrency acquisition, doubling down on its commitment to Michael Saylor’s vision during a time of fluctuating prices following a tariff agreement. This latest purchase, revealed by Saylor on Monday, brings Strategy’s holdings over the half-million mark, challenging both regulators and market dynamics.
Strategy’s Bold Bitcoin Investment Continues
In a filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) dated May 12, the Virginia-based software company reported the acquisition of 13,390 Bitcoin at an average price of $99,856 each, amounting to an investment of $1.34 billion.
The firm now possesses a total of 568,840 Bitcoin, which it acquired for approximately $39.41 billion at an average cost of $69,287 per Bitcoin, as detailed in Saylor’s May 12 post on X.

Since its foray into Bitcoin accumulation in 2020, Strategy has been known for its provocative approach to the cryptocurrency market. The timing of the recent purchase coincides with a notable upswing in crypto markets, spurred by a White House announcement regarding a three-month truce on tariffs between the U.S. and China.
“For too long, unfair trade practices and America’s massive trade deficit with China have fueled the offshoring of American jobs and declining manufacturing sector,” a White House press statement released Monday outlined.
“As part of this agreement, both the United States and China will lower tariffs by 115%, while maintaining an additional 10% tariff during the pause period,” the communication further explained.
Saylor’s Bitcoin Strategy Unfolds
Although the cryptocurrency experienced a brief surge above $105,000 on May 12, it has since declined by over 1.5%. Earlier this year, Strategy had briefly halted its Bitcoin purchasing activities following the initiation of Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs which contributed to significant turmoil in global markets.
Nevertheless, a recent post from Saylor on May 1 indicated that the company’s Bitcoin holdings have skyrocketed by more than 3,000% since implementing the Bitcoin standard.
Saylor remains a staunch advocate for clear regulatory frameworks for cryptocurrencies in the U.S., having attended the White House’s Crypto Summit in March.
