Strategy bought $2.54 billion worth of Bitcoin, adding 34,1aalling more buying could follow.

Michael Saylor's latest X post hints that MicroStrategy is resuming Bitcoin purchases after a short pause. The company could use recent funding from its preferred stock to buy at least 1,500 more BTC.

Strategy, long seen as Bitcoin’s most relentless corporate buyer, has halted its BTC purchases for the first time in 13 weeks — a surprising pause that comes amid a sharp stock decline and growing signs that the broader industry may be pivoting away from pure Bitcoin accumulation.

Strategy bought 17,994 Bitcoin for about $1.28 billion between 2 and 8 March, bringing its total holdings to 738,731 BTC worth around $50 billion. The purchase was mainly funded through sales of the company’s common stock and preferred shares.

Bitcoin (BTC) may have endured a sharp pullback in the final quarter of the year, but the sell-off has only reinforced its position as the crypto market’s most resilient and indispensable asset. When leverage unwound and risk appetite vanished, Bitcoin once again stood apart—outperforming the broader market even as prices fell.

Michael Saylor urged governments to create Bitcoin-backed digital bank accounts to offer higher returns than traditional deposits. He suggested such accounts could attract trillions in global savings, but Bitcoin’s volatility and regulatory challenges make the idea risky.

Analysts from Bitcoin For Corporations (BFC) are accusing JP Morgan Chase of orchestrating the October 10, 2025, crypto market crash, alleging the bank strategically resurfaced a 42-day-old internal investor note to reignite fears around MicroStrategy.

Michael Saylor’s company has seen big losses as Bitcoin falls below $90,000, leaving around 40% of its holdings unprofitable. Recent purchases above current market prices have added nearly $100 million in unrealised losses, putting pressure on the company’s stock and strategy.

Peter Schiff criticised Michael Saylor and Strategy, calling their Bitcoin-focused business model a “fraud” and challenging Saylor to a debate. The attack comes as Bitcoin fell below $99,000 and Strategy’s stock dropped over 50% since July, while gold remains strong above $4,000 an ounce.

Bitcoin fell back to its end-2024 price as traders pulled away from risky assets and ETF outflows picked up. The drop followed fading excitement over the Trump administration’s crypto stance and rising fears across global markets.
