- Michael Saylor reminded markets that Bitcoin is immune to tariffs after Trump’s new trade policy rattled global markets.
- Bitcoin dropped over 5% following the tariff announcement, briefly falling below $82K before stabilizing around $81,995.
- Strategy now holds over 528,000 BTC worth more than $43 billion, and Saylor hinted they’re not done buying yet.
As President Donald Trump’s sweeping new tariffs loom over global trade—slapping a fresh 10% baseline tax on imports from Canada, China, and the EU starting April 5—Bitcoin took a hit… and Michael Saylor saw a window.
The Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) exec didn’t waste a moment. As the market dipped, he fired off a simple but pointed tweet:
“There are no tariffs on Bitcoin.”
And really, that says it all.
While traditional markets reeled from the news and risk assets wobbled, Bitcoin fell too—dropping about 5.7% in a 24-hour span. It slid from around $86,930 down to a low of $81,900, briefly bouncing near $83.7K before dipping again. At last check, BTC was holding steady-ish at $81,995. Not exactly a bloodbath, but enough to rattle nerves.
Saylor? He saw a dip—and an opportunity.
In a follow-up message, the Bitcoin bull seemed to double down on Strategy’s BTC stacking game. This, of course, comes hot on the heels of their latest headline-grabbing purchase: 22,048 Bitcoins added to the stash. That brings the company’s total holdings to a jaw-dropping 528,185 BTC—valued at roughly $43.3 billion, give or take.
Unlike goods that cross borders and rack up tariffs and paperwork, Bitcoin remains tariff-proof. It’s global, decentralized, and doesn’t care what borders or trade policies exist. It trades 24/7, weekends included. The only “fees” involved are the standard ones from crypto exchanges—and those don’t come from the government.
With traditional assets being slammed by geopolitical policy shifts, Saylor’s BTC-as-haven narrative just got a fresh coat of relevance. Whether you’re a fan or a skeptic, one thing’s clear: the man knows how to keep the Bitcoin buzz alive.
As the tariff timeline ticks closer, don’t be surprised if Strategy adds more to their bags. After all, in Saylor’s eyes, every drop’s a buying signal.
