Michael Saylor’s Strategy Secures $22 Million In Bitcoin!

Just two days ago, on September 29, 2025, Michael Saylor’s Strategy acquired an additional 196 BTC at a value exceeding $22 million, increasing its holdings to a total of 640,031 Bitcoin, maintaining its position as the leading corporate holder.

Strategy, previously known as MicroStrategy, has emerged as the primary BTC proxy in the trading market. Shares have surged by 2,600% since 2020; however, this year hasn’t been flawless: MSTR Stock has decreased by 20% since June, while BTC itself has appreciated by 6%, according to Bloomberg.

On September 22, CNBC analyst Jim Cramer advised on X to sell both crypto and gold but has since changed his stance to price floor buying. This indicates that crypto might either soar dramatically or face an unprecedented liquidation crisis.

Strategy continues to accumulate Bitcoins despite the declining MSTR premium.

Strategy has announced cash dividends on STRC, payable on October 31, 2025, while also increasing the STRC dividend rate from 10.00% to 10.25%. $STRC https://t.co/JF6xrtScwm
