Michael Saylor's Strategy purchased nearly $2 billion worth of Bitcoin during the recent price drop, despite market concerns over the tariff policy soon to be announced by U.S. President Trump.

Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) acquired 22,048 Bitcoins for $1.92 billion, with an average purchase price of $86,969 per coin.

Co-founder Michael Saylor announced on March 31 via the X platform that the company currently holds over 528,000 Bitcoins, with a total purchase cost of $35.63 billion and an average price of $67,458 per coin.

Strategy is the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin globally and surpassed the milestone of 500,000 Bitcoins on March 24. Just days before this announcement, Saylor hinted that the company would make new Bitcoin purchases and announced the pricing of its latest preferred stock on March 21.

According to Saylortracker data, the company's unrealized gains on its Bitcoin holdings exceed $7.7 billion, with a return rate of over 21%.

Despite investor concerns over Trump's upcoming tariff policy announcement on April 2, which could set the tone for Bitcoin's price movement this month, Strategy still made a near $2 billion bet on Bitcoin.

The announcement on April 2 is expected to detail reciprocal trade tariffs against major U.S. trading partners, which could heighten inflation concerns and limit demand for risk assets like Bitcoin.

Andrei Grachev, managing partner at DWF Labs, told Cointelegraph in an interview: "This sell-off is not the end of the bull market, but a healthy adjustment. The market is overreacting to tariffs and macroeconomic news, but the long-term fundamentals remain unchanged."

According to Cointelegraph, although Strategy has never sold any Bitcoin, the company may need to pay taxes on its unrealized gains exceeding $7.7 billion, a figure that once soared to $19 billion at the end of January.

Under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, the company may be required to pay federal income tax on its unrealized gains.

According to a January 24 report by The Wall Street Journal, the act established a "corporate alternative minimum tax," under which Strategy would pay taxes at a rate of 15% based on adjusted corporate income.

However, under a more crypto-friendly government policy from Trump, the IRS may establish tax exemption provisions for Bitcoin.
