Michael Saylor Buys 3,273 Bitcoins, Yield Nears 10 Percent in 2026

Jakarta, VIVA – Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin buying spree continues into the first quarter of 2026. Amid cryptocurrency market volatility, MicroStrategy’s purchase of thousands of coins further solidifies its position as the largest corporate Bitcoin holder and drives an annual yield (dividend yield) of nearly 10 percent this year.

Citing Yahoo Finance, the company with ticker MSTR announced the purchase of 3,273 Bitcoins worth approximately US$255 million or about Rp4.43 trillion (estimated exchange rate of Rp17,380 per US dollar) on Monday, 27 April 2026. The average purchase price per Bitcoin was US$77,906 or around Rp1.35 billion.

This transaction automatically increases the company’s Bitcoin holdings to 818,334 coins. To build this portfolio, MicroStrategy has invested around US$61.81 billion at an average price of US$75,537 per Bitcoin.

Saylor revealed that the investment strategy in the world’s most valuable cryptocurrency is starting to show significant results. For the year to date in 2026, the company has recorded a Bitcoin yield of 9.6 percent.

This model refers to the company’s ability to increase the number of Bitcoins owned per share through a combination of issuing shares and debt. With this approach, investors’ indirect ownership of Bitcoin also increases over time.

MicroStrategy’s aggressive moves are being followed by other investors, one of whom is Strive CEO Matt Cole. He announced the purchase of 789 Bitcoins worth approximately US$61.43 million, bringing Strive’s total to 14,557 Bitcoins valued at nearly US$1.13 billion.

Strive’s actions indicate that more institutions are beginning to adopt Bitcoin accumulation strategies, following the trail previously popularised by MicroStrategy.

In terms of financial performance, Saylor’s company is viewed relatively positively by market players. Based on TipRanks data, MicroStrategy stock has received a Strong Buy recommendation from 12 Wall Street analysts in the past three months.

The average 12-month price target is at US$281.25. This target reflects a potential increase of around 63.9 percent from the current position.

With an aggressive accumulation strategy and strong market sentiment support, MicroStrategy’s moves demonstrate that Bitcoin is increasingly seen as a long-term strategic asset by global institutional investors.
