Saylor Hints Strategy May Resume Bitcoin Buying

3 reports · First detected 2026-07-27 · Last active 2026-08-03

Strategy, formerly MicroStrategy, began treating bitcoin as its primary treasury reserve asset in 2020 under co-founder and Executive Chairman Michael Saylor. Funded through sales of common and preferred shares, the approach made Strategy the largest corporate holder of bitcoin and turned MSTR into a leveraged proxy for the cryptocurrency. The model matters because falling bitcoin prices and a shrinking premium to net asset value can make fresh equity issuance more dilutive, while preferred-stock dividends raise the company’s cash requirements.

In a July 27 filing, Strategy said it neither bought nor sold bitcoin in the week ended July 26, extending its purchase pause to five weeks. Holdings remained at 843,775 BTC, acquired for $63.69 billion at an average $75,476 each; with bitcoin near $64,600, the stake carried an unrealized loss of about $9.3 billion. Strategy lifted its dollar reserve to $3.75 billion while keeping STRC’s dividend rate at 12%. On Aug. 2, Saylor posted “Bitcoin Drive engaged” on X, hinting at renewed buying without confirming a transaction.

The history behind this event
Michael Saylor Signals More Bitcoin Buying as Strategy’s Holdings Slip 10% Into the Red2026-06-29 · 6 reports · similarity 0.89

Strategy, formerly MicroStrategy, has treated Bitcoin as its primary treasury asset since 2020 and funded further purchases through common-stock and bond issuance as well as STRC perpetual preferred stock. Its Bitcoin holdings are worth about $52 billion, making MSTR a key proxy for corporate Bitcoin exposure and putting its financing and dividend obligations under close scrutiny.

On March 22, Michael Saylor posted a purchase chart on X captioned “The Orange March Continues,” signaling that Strategy would keep buying. The company bought 17,994 Bitcoin on March 9 and another 22,337 on March 16, investing about $2.9 billion during the month. Bitcoin fell as low as $67,725 that day, below Strategy’s average cost of $75,696 and leaving its holdings with an unrealized loss of more than 10%.

Michael Saylor Signals More Buying as Bitcoin Reclaims $60,0002026-06-08 · 2 reports · similarity 0.83

MicroStrategy has long held large amounts of Bitcoin on its corporate balance sheet, and buying signals from Chairman Michael Saylor are often viewed as a barometer of institutional demand. A slight decline in its Bitcoin holdings had raised concerns that the company was reducing its position. Whether it continues buying therefore carries implications for confidence in large corporate demand and Bitcoin’s near-term outlook.

On Sunday, July 19, 2026, Saylor indicated that MicroStrategy would continue adding to its holdings, easing market fears that the company was cutting its position. Bitcoin rebounded quickly after falling below $60,000 and briefly touched $64,200. The market subsequently held steady, but confirmation of a shift from a downtrend to an uptrend will require stronger trading volume and sustained buying.
