Strategy Can Buy $100M of Bitcoin Within an Hour, Says Michael Saylor

TLDR

• Strategy holds 640,250 BTC, which is 2.5% of Bitcoin’s total supply.
• Strategy can buy up to $100M of Bitcoin within the same hour capital is raised.
• Saylor says the company can raise $1B and fully convert it to Bitcoin in a day.
• Bitcoin was trading above $110,000 as of October 20, 2025.

Corporate Bitcoin giant Strategy may be preparing for another major Bitcoin purchase, according to recent remarks from Executive Chairman Michael Saylor. He stated that the company has the capacity to convert up to $100 million of raised capital into Bitcoin within just one hour. This quick turnaround time sets Strategy apart from traditional sectors that take much longer to deploy capital and deliver returns.

Rapid Capital Deployment into Bitcoin

Michael Saylor explained in a podcast interview that Strategy’s investment process operates faster than many conventional industries. According to him, the company can raise capital and complete large Bitcoin purchases within the same hour. He noted, “We could do a billion dollars of capital raising in a day and… be fully done [buying Bitcoin] by 6 pm.”

Saylor also mentioned that the company can execute trades of $50 to $100 million per hour, which means Strategy can scale purchases without long delays. The process uses a real-time model that allows for fast capital conversion, which is unlike traditional investments in real estate, oil, or technology that often require months or even years.

Hints at Future Purchases Despite Market Volatility

On October 13, Strategy’s holdings reached 640,250 BTC, which is around 2.5% of Bitcoin’s total supply. This makes Strategy the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin globally. Saylor shared a comment on social media on Sunday suggesting that another purchase may be coming soon, although he did not provide a specific figure.

Despite Bitcoin trading lower than last week, it remains much higher year-to-date. As of October 20, Bitcoin is trading above $110,000, according to CoinMarketCap. Historically, Strategy’s large purchases have caused short-term upward movement in Bitcoin’s price. Market observers often track the company’s activity as a signal of growing institutional interest in the asset.

Real-Time Treasury Model

Saylor contrasted Bitcoin investment with other sectors by emphasizing how Strategy operates daily with fast liquidity options. “We’re open for business every day with four credit ATMs,” he said. He added that if a buyer wants to acquire hundreds of millions in assets, the transaction can be completed in under a minute.

He also explained how this model allows the firm to build “in real time,” unlike real estate where the asset must be developed before any returns. The process includes selling convertible debt or equity and using the proceeds to buy Bitcoin within hours, creating both the collateral and the return nearly immediately.

Response to Criticism Over Bitcoin Exposure

Strategy’s aggressive Bitcoin strategy has not gone unnoticed. Critics have raised concerns about shareholder dilution and overexposure to cryptocurrency volatility. However, Saylor dismissed the concerns, saying that some investors misunderstand how the business model works.

“The equity investors value the company based on BTC yield and appreciation per share,” Saylor said. He also stated that credit investors look at returns based on dollar yield, and the firm swaps traditional currency returns for Bitcoin-based returns using Bitcoin as the collateral.

Saylor said critics are being “strategically ignorant,” choosing not to understand the business model. Since Strategy began buying Bitcoin in October 2020 with an initial 20,000 BTC purchase, it has continued to expand its holdings, often buying during periods of price weakness.
