In 2020 Michael Saylor publicly stated on X that he has 17,732 BTC and he continuously accumulating Bitcoin.
I doubt very much that you can back up what you say. In a recent interview he was asked how many bitcoins he owns as of today and he replied "at least that much", referring to the 2020 figure. We can't know for sure if he has continued to accumulate personally but I would bet that, if he has bought more, they have not been very large purchases, as those bitcoins as of today are worth $1.6B, more than enough to live on, and focusing on his strategy in MSTR the stocks he owns are more profitable to him in that almost every week they have more exposure to bitcoin.

I understand that Saylor had not given too many specifics in regards to his personal holdings beyond what you said that he has at least as much if not more than what he had initially disclosed, yet there was a time in early 2024, that some of his MSTR stock options were to expire (around $216 million worth), and I believe that he said that he was buying bitcoin with some of that money...

And yeah, does it matter?  Probably not  very much... I had frequently considered that Saylor might have had been able to add an additional 10k bitcoin or more to his personal stash, so I personally had speculated on more than one occasion that Saylor may well have around 30k bitcoin or more in his personal BTC stash.

I guess the only thing we can look forwards is he personally continue to accumulate since this is what his company did so far. Although we don't have a tracker that tracks personal portfolio of Michael Saylor but provably he's still bullish on current situation since the action made by his company would provably reflect also on his personal investment.

What interesting these day is there next accumulation and they are giving a hint base on what's has been written in this article https://insidebitcoins.com/news/michael-saylor-hints-at-another-strategy-bitcoin-buy-as-btc-etf-demand-dwarfs-mining-output

Well with this things we can say that there's really huge demand coming on Bitcoin and this is great for all of us Bitcoin hodler's.

I thought that overall if Saylor is proclaiming that he wants to double the initial goal of $42 billion acquisition that he had proclaimed in October 2024, then surely he expects that his acquisition and abilities to continue to buy bitcoin with other people's money is going quite well, and so surely he might be able to reach 1 million bitcoin or more in the coming years (how long?  I am not going to proclaim to know exactly, but within less than 4 years seems reasonably possible.. though surely bitcoins are likely going to continue to get more expensive for the purchasing of each one).
