Saylor Says “Crypto Spring Is Coming” As Strategy Adds 2,486 Bitcoin: Pushes Total Holdings To 717,131 BTC
February 17, 2025, Strategy by Michael Saylor get an additional 2,486 Bitcoin for $168,4 million with an average price of $67,710 per BTC. With the latest purchase, the company’s total Bitcoin Holdings total is 717,131 BTC. Currently, Strategy has 54.52 billion dollars in Bitcoin, making it the biggest owner of the institutional crypto.
However, Bitcoin continues to decline, hovering between the $67k to $69k mark and thus sending Saylor’s company treasury into the red. Bitcoin is down about 23% since the beginning of 2026 alone. The company’s cost basis of $76,027 per coin means that its Bitcoin position currently carries a significant unrealized loss of close to $7 billion since early February.
Saylor’s aggressive rally, which began in August 2020, has continued despite the bear market. In fact, he has doubled his Bitcoin, saying “spring is coming.”

Saylor’s Action Plan If Bitcoin Crashes Below Key Support Level of $58,800?
Strategy stock performance has been poor but the biggest whale in the room has been raising quick cash by selling stocks to buy more Bitcoin.
The biggest fear that can keep you up at night is “forced selling.” If Strategy’s stock price falls because consumers lose faith, could they be forced to liquidate Bitcoin to pay off debt? Analysts are divided. Some market watchers now suggest that investors would be better off buying Bitcoin directly rather than holding Strategy’s stock, which risks dilution.
However, long-time owners know this game well. When it comes to Bitcoin volatility and HODLer belief, true believers view these dips as temporary noise. Unless Bitcoin crashes below the key support level of $58,800, the Strategy is likely to hold the line.
