Michael Saylor Signals Fresh BTC Buy as Strategy Rides Out Geopolitical Turbulence

Michael Saylor has hinted that MicroStrategy is about to top up its already-massive Bitcoin reserve, even as the Israel-Iran flare-up keeps global markets on edge.

In an X post late Sunday, the co-founder shared a chart captioned “#Bitcoin is hope,” a phrase he typically uses just before announcing new purchases.

Where the numbers stand

• Current stash: ≈ 582,000 BTC
• Latest add-on: 1,045 BTC on 9 June (≈ $110 million)
• Unrealized gain: > 50 %, or roughly $20 billion on paper (data: SaylorTracker)

Bitcoin Pauses Below $110K as Analysts Eye Consolidation Phase

Market backdrop

Missiles flew over Tehran late Thursday, yet Bitcoin only dipped 3 % and has hovered near $105 k since. Exchange-traded funds tracking the asset actually booked five straight days of inflows, pulling in more than $1.3 billion for the week (source: Farside Investors). The Crypto Fear & Greed Index sits at 60, flashing “greed” despite the saber-rattling.

The risk everyone is watching

Analyst Nic Puckrin notes that a closure of the Strait of Hormuz—choke point for about 20 % of world oil—could jolt energy prices and slam risk assets, Bitcoin included. For now, though, Saylor seems undeterred: another buy would underscore his view that BTC is the ultimate hedge when macro headlines turn ugly.
