Saylor hinted at the acquisition on Sunday.

With Monday being an official holiday in the US (MLK ​​Day), strategist Michael Saylor had to wait until today to announce his company's latest BTC purchase.

In it, the world's largest corporate owner of the digital asset said he had amassed another 22,305 BTC worth more than $2.1 billion. The average price of the purchase was $95,284, and it brings the company's total holdings to a whopping 709,715 BTC.

With the strategy costing nearly $54 billion to acquire, this high net worth has amassed an average value of nearly $76,000 over the past half-decade. At today's BTC price of $91,000, Stoch is now worth $64.6 billion. Thus, the strategy is sitting on more than $10 billion in paper profits as of press time.

Today's announcement comes after Saylor hinted at a purchase on Sunday. The timing is remarkable given the changes that have taken place in the last few days between the strategic country and its biggest ally – the European Union.

The two sides fought over Greenland, which was legally controlled by Denmark. However, Trump wants to buy the world's largest island for “national security purposes.”

The escalating tensions between the two have prompted Trump to introduce new tariffs and further declines in crypto markets. BTC dropped from over $95,000 to $91,000 in a matter of days.
