Strategy Halts Bitcoin Purchases Amid Market Crash
This marks a significant shift for the company, which has consistently added to its Bitcoin reserves through stock sales and capital raises. The move comes at a time when the broader market is in a downward spiral, largely influenced by the recent implementation of President Donald Trumps tariffs.
Pause in Bitcoin Purchases
Between March 31 and April 6, MicroStrategy failed to purchase any Bitcoin, a notable break in its typical buying pattern. In previous weeks, the company had made large Bitcoin purchases, including 22,048 BTC for $1.92 billion just last week, one of its largest acquisitions to date. The company also acquired 6,911 BTC for $584 million the week before that.
MicroStrategys recent Bitcoin investments have been substantial. The company purchased 80,715 BTC in Q1 2025 alone, at a cost of $7.66 billion, with an average price of $94,922 per Bitcoin. Currently, MicroStrategy holds 528,185 BTC, amounting to an investment of $35.63 billion, at an average price of $67,458 per coin.
As the market continues to react to the broader economic climate, especially in the wake of the ongoing tariff disputes, MicroStrategys next steps could have a ripple effect on the cryptocurrency market, particularly if the company decides to reduce its Bitcoin holdings.
