MicroStrategy Pauses Bitcoin Purchases Ahead of Q1 Earnings

MicroStrategy, led by Michael Saylor, has announced a pause in its Bitcoin (BTC) purchases this week, coinciding with the firm's upcoming first-quarter (Q1) 2026 earnings report on May 5. According to BeInCrypto, this halt follows a significant quarterly Bitcoin drawdown and marks the end of a 13-week buying streak that concluded in late March. MicroStrategy currently holds 818,334 BTC valued at $64.44 billion, with an average cost of $75,532 per coin. Wall Street anticipates Q1 revenue near $120 million, with a GAAP loss primarily due to Bitcoin accounting.
