Michael Saylor, executive chairman of MicroStrategy, announced that the company will not conduct its routine Bitcoin purchase this week, marking a pause not seen since July 2025. This decision comes as MicroStrategy's Bitcoin holdings reached a record valuation of $79 billion, driven by Bitcoin's new all-time high of $125,000.
The firm currently holds 640,031 BTC, acquired at an average price of $73,983 per coin, with a total investment of $47.35 billion. In the third quarter of 2025, MicroStrategy reported $3.89 billion in unrealized gains on its digital assets, alongside a $1.12 billion deferred tax expense. Saylor emphasized that the long-term accumulation strategy remains unchanged, stating on X, "No new orange dots this week — just a $9 billion reminder of why we HODL," referencing the company's purchase updates.
Despite the pause, MicroStrategy added over 11,000 BTC in the past seven weeks, reinforcing its position as the world's largest corporate Bitcoin treasury, controlling 3% of the circulating supply. The news highlights institutional trends, with other firms like BitMine and VisionSys diversifying into Ethereum and Solana, but Saylor continues to advocate for Bitcoin as MicroStrategy's core asset.
