Amid market uncertainty and the threat of new US tariffs, Michael Saylor and his company, Strategy, make significant investments in Bitcoin as a long-term asset.
Saylor vs the decline of Bitcoin
Investors were panicked by tariff threats from Trump's administration scheduled for April 2. However, Saylor doubles down, acquiring 22,048 BTC at $86,969 each, allowing Strategy to hold 2.5% of Bitcoin's total supply—a record—with an average purchase price of $67,458 and unrealized gains of $7.7 billion.
Taxing the future?
Despite its unrealized gains, Strategy might be required to pay a 15% minimum tax on profits under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. Through Bitcoin investments, Saylor bets on political rethinking and possible tax policy changes post-elections.
Conclusion: Bitcoin is not dying, it's recharging
The recent decline of Bitcoin is just one episode in its impressive growth trajectory. Saylor's $1.9 billion investment is a reminder that the greatest gains come from chaos. Bitcoin is not dead—it's gaining strength for its next growth phase.
Michael Saylor sees Bitcoin not just as an asset but a strategic tool capable of weathering turbulent times and continuing to attract investment even amid economic instability.
