Breaking: Michael Saylor Announces Buying $101M In Bitcoin For Stratagy

Michael Saylor has once more stirred up rumours of a new Bitcoin buy by Strategy with a cryptic tweet. He also attached the company’s well-known Bitcoin acquisition tracker, the Orange Dots chart, which fueled speculations of a purchase announcement on Monday.

Michael Saylor Teases New Bitcoin Buy

On X, Saylor shared the graph with a caption, “Looks better with more dots.” Not long after, market movers were quick to pick up on the post, having seen similar comments from the Strategy co-founder in the past behind new BTC purchases.

The new tip follows another Bitcoin acquisition of approximately $100 million that Strategy announced just days ago. With this, the company is still the largest corporate owner of the asset. Moreover, it has been steadily increasing its stake in it despite the scrutiny over the company’s financing methods.

Michael Saylor pointed to the company’s better financials earlier this week. Writing on X, he said that the total amount of Bitcoin that Strategy holds and has in the bank now equals his debt load of about $48 billion. He also said the company has secured over $60 billion in extra capital since 2022 and that it used the capital to invest in Bitcoin.

Saylor drew parallels between now and the crypto bear market of 2022. Bitcoin was valued at about $20,000 at the time, and Strategy owned approximately 130,000 BTC worth about $2.6 billion. The company’s debt even exceeded the value of its Bitcoin and cash reserves as Bitcoin later fell below $16,000. Over the same period, Strategy’s stock dropped from a split-adjusted price of around $24 to close at nearly $13 by year-end.

The Bitcoin buy speculation resumes amid investors’ debate of Strategy’s aggressive accumulation model. Investors have raised doubts about the company’s policy of buying more BTC through security sales, such as MSTR and STRC shares. The STRC shares have fallen to a record low lately, with the shares outpacing its $100 par value.

The US-Iran Meeting In Switzerland Boosts Crypto Sentiment

Meanwhile, general market interest is largely on geopolitical news. On Sunday, Iran confirmed that it will meet its U.S. officials in Switzerland after negotiations originally planned for June 19 have been delayed. Mediators to attend will be from Qatar and Pakistan.

There’s been a rise in momentum toward a U.S.-Iran deal prior to the negotiations. The talks are occurring amid growing tensions between Israel and Hezbollah and come at a crucial time for financial markets around the world.

Hopes of resolution during the meeting, pushed Bitcoin price above $64,000 again.
