The average cost of that stash is listed at $76,056 per coin. Recent filings show another 1,142 BTC was bought this month at about $78,815 each, a purchase that amounted to roughly $90 million.<\/p>\n<p>At today\u2019s trading levels near <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coingecko.com\/en\/coins\/bitcoin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">$68,000<\/a>, the position shows an estimated unrealized loss of close to $6 billion, while the reported book value of holdings tops $54 billion after nearly six years of steady accumulation.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Go bitcoin today.

Reports have disclosed that Strategy follows a long-range plan that includes a seven-year road map disclosed in its Q4 2025 filings, which aims to raise Bitcoin per share by 2032 based on various yield scenarios.<\/p>\n<p>The firm\u2019s playbook is simple: buy on dips and avoid selling. The mantra is repeated: buy Bitcoin and do not sell.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1835px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/JNxCVu5g\/\" width=\"1835\" height=\"947\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bitcoin is now trading at $68,943.

Some see it as a show of commitment that can encourage other firms and big investors to act similarly.<\/p>\n<p>Others view the heavy concentration of corporate exposure as a source of market fragility \u2014 if Strategy were to change course unexpectedly, prices could shift fast. Liquidity matters. That risk is understated when the focus is only on conviction.<\/p>\n<p><h2 class=\"jeg_block_title\"><span>Related Reading<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"ftoc-heading-3\" class=\"ftwp-heading\">Market Impact And Criticism<\/h3>\n<p>Reports say the firm\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/bitcoin\/more-bitcoin-ahead-strategy-commits-to-regular-btc-purchases\/\" target=\"_blank\">buying<\/a> has been so large that it dominated corporate additions in January, accounting for more than 90% of net new corporate Bitcoin purchases that month.<\/p>\n<p>That level of dominance brings scrutiny. Questions have been raised about governance, balance sheet risk, and what long-term holding means for shareholders who expect stable returns. Some critics argue that a company piling into a volatile asset creates a mismatch with traditional corporate responsibilities.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, supporters argue that patient ownership of Bitcoin can protect against long-term currency erosion. This is the case Saylor makes: losses on paper are temporary if the thesis holds, and time is an ally for those convinced of Bitcoin\u2019s store-of-value case.<\/p>\n<p><em>Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Saylor\u2019s latest message is blunt and direct: \u201cGo Bitcoin today \u2014 the money won\u2019t fix itself.\u201d He\u2019s pressing an idea he has pushed for years \u2014 that holding Bitcoin is a deliberate choice against the slow decline of fiat money \u2014 and his firm\u2019s actions back up the words.
