The decision comes at a time when the overall market is experiencing a downturn, largely impacted by President Donald Trump's recent tariffs. Pause in Bitcoin PurchasesBetween March 31 and April 6, MicroStrategy did not make any Bitcoin purchases, a noticeable deviation from its usual buying behavior. In previous weeks, the company had made substantial Bitcoin acquisitions, such as 22,048 BTC for $1.92 billion just last week, one of its largest purchases to date. MicroStrategy's recent investments in Bitcoin have been substantial, with the company acquiring 80,715 BTC in Q1 2025 alone, costing $7.66 billion, at an average price of $94,922 per Bitcoin. Currently, MicroStrategy holds 528,185 BTC, representing an investment of $35.63 billion, at an average price of $67,458 per coin.
