THEY DID IT 💰️

BREAKING: Michael Saylor’s Strategy surpasses 500,000 Bitcoin with latest purchase

Saylor is back with his big-time Bitcoin purchases…

Today, Michael Saylor announced that Strategy acquired another 6,911 BTC for ~$584.1 million. (Average of $84,529 per BTC)

But the bigger news?

This latest buy pushes Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings above 500,000 BTC! 🤯

Here’s a quick snapshot of Strategy’s total holdings:

• Current BTC Holdings: 506,137 BTC (~2.41% of Bitcoin’s total supply)

• Total Cost Basis: $33.7 billion

• Average Purchase Price: $66,608 per BTC

• Unrealized Profit: $10.1 billion

It’s absolutely mind-blowing that one company has managed to accumulate this much Bitcoin…

This latest acquisition was financed primarily by recent stock offerings:

• Sold around 2 million shares of Class A common stock (MSTR), raising $592.6 million.

• Completed a preferred stock offering (STRF) that generated roughly $711 million

• Raised an additional $1.1 million via its perpetual strike preferred stock (STRK)

Here’s another crazy stat for you:

Strategy has already spent $5.3 billion acquiring Bitcoin during the first quarter of 2025 alone.

Following today's announcement, Strategy’s stock (MSTR) surged significantly, up +18.58% over the past five days.

Despite short-term volatility, Saylor’s playbook remains unchanged:

Buy aggressively, hodl, and capitalise when the market dips

Saylor and Strategy are literally the definition of maximum conviction when it comes to Bitcoin…

ARE WE STILL IN A BULL MARKET? 🐮

Cathie Wood is infamous for her Bitcoin to $1.5 million by 2030 prediction.

But after a volatile 2025, is she still standing by it?

Are we even still in a bull market?

According to her latest interview? Absolutely.

Cathie Wood is the founder and CEO of ARK Invest and a long-time Bitcoin bull.

In her latest Bloomberg interview, Cathie Wood didn’t flinch when asked if she still believes Bitcoin is headed to $1.5 million by 2030.

Her response?

Despite the current market jitters, Wood believes we’re still in the middle of a bull market, just within a temporary risk-off period.

While markets look shaky, Wood thinks we are already at or near the lows.

She’s seeing early signs of a recession, which will only end in 1 way:

This is something we’ve been prattling on about for weeks.

Once quantitative tightening ends, Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are let off the leash.

Why?

Because when interest rates drop and the money printer kicks in, capital starts chasing risk.

And that path leads straight to Bitcoin and crypto.

So no — Cathie Wood isn’t backing down.

To her, $1.5M per Bitcoin by 2030 isn’t a moonshot — it’s the base case.

And if her 2018 Tesla call taught us anything, it’s this:

Being early & bold is how you win big. 🎲

WE’RE SO BACK 💪

The outflow streak is over…

After 17 consecutive days of red, digital asset funds finally saw net inflows again, raking in $644 million last week.

Let's break down exactly what happened.

Bitcoin came out on top with inflows of $724 million for the week.

(It’s worth pointing out that these inflows ended a five week outflow streak that totalled $5.4 billion)

Meanwhile, XRP and Solana saw notable inflows too, with $6.7m and $6.4m respectively.

Ethereum, however, had another rough week, posting significant outflows of $86 million.

Regionally, the U.S. dominated with inflows of $632 million.

This positive sentiment was also seen in Switzerland (+$15.9m), Germany (+$13.9m), and Hong Kong (+$1.2m).

On the flip side, Sweden (-$10.3m) and Canada (-$9.1m) remained bearish.

This was a decisive turnaround in market sentiment.

Thanks largely to Trump's easing of tariffs and the Fed's decision to slow down QT (as we covered last week), market conditions have significantly improved.

We’re so back. 😎

US Senator submits proposal to end the FED while White House advances Bitcoin reserve buying. Senator Mike Lee's proposal to dismantle the Federal Reserve and Trump's pursuit of a Bitcoin reserve suggest a potential recalibration of U.S. monetary policy.

Bitcoin on track for worst Q1 close since 2020, but analysts predict a Q2 rebound. Analysts opined that a BTC reversal may be close and that bullish momentum could resume in Q2, citing historical data and macroeconomic developments.
