The $285 million purchase marks Strategy’s first Bitcoin investment since March 31, when the company acquired $1.9 billion worth of Bitcoin, Cointelegraph reported.
According to data from Saylortracker, the firm is currently sitting on more than $9.1 billion in unrealized profit, representing a 25% gain on its total Bitcoin position as of 12:20 pm UTC.

Strategy’s continued accumulation comes despite a broader market pullback and declining appetite for risk assets. The downturn has been largely attributed to uncertainty surrounding global trade policy after US President Donald Trump announced a new round of tariffs.
Trump announced a 90-day pause on higher reciprocal tariffs on April 9, reverting the tariffs to the 10% baseline for most countries, except for China, which currently faces a 145% import tariff.
