As of July 26, 2026, Strategy reported holding 843,775 BTC, making it the largest institutional holder of Bitcoin globally at that time.

Even more recently, Strategy reported another purchase, bringing its holdings to approximately 848,000 BTC by October 4, 2026.

🤯 Here’s the fascinating part

Saylor doesn’t simply say:

“I like Bitcoin.”

His entire corporate strategy is built around using financial markets to accumulate more Bitcoin.

That’s why MSTR (Strategy’s stock) has become highly connected to Bitcoin. Investors can buy MSTR shares and get economic exposure to a company whose balance sheet is dominated by BTC. Strategy itself says it provides investors with different ways to obtain economic exposure to Bitcoin through its equity and fixed-income securities.

Saylor has also publicly said that he has never sold his personal Bitcoin, although Strategy itself has made some BTC sales as part of its newer financial framework.

💡 Saylor’s Bitcoin philosophy

One of his central ideas is that Bitcoin isn’t merely another cryptocurrency. He describes it as “digital capital”—a scarce, global, liquid and auditable asset that isn’t issued or controlled by a government or central bank.

That’s what makes the Saylor story interesting:

He didn’t just buy Bitcoin. He built an entire corporate financial strategy around Bitcoin.

And that’s also why traders watch Saylor + Strategy + MSTR + BTC together. When Bitcoin moves dramatically, Strategy’s enormous BTC position can have a major effect on the company’s financial results and the market’s perception of MSTR.

If you’re interested in Bitcoin trading, the most fascinating part to study next is how Saylor buys hundreds of thousands of BTC without simply using his own cash—the financing mechanism behind Strategy is where the story gets really interesting.
