Strategy, the business intelligence firm renowned for its relentless Bitcoin accumulation, has just made another massive investment — snapping up $765 million worth of BTC in its latest buy.
The announcement reinforces the company’s position as the most aggressive corporate holder of the digital asset, even as pressure mounts on multiple fronts.
Despite the bold purchase, Strategy is now facing growing skepticism from the market — and from seasoned critics. Notably, renowned short-seller Jim Chanos, known for his early warnings on Enron, has reportedly taken a bearish position against the firm. In a curious twist, he’s also hedged his bet by buying Bitcoin itself, suggesting that his doubts lie more with Strategy’s execution than with the cryptocurrency it champions.
Meanwhile, Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor has responded to the criticism in typical fashion — publicly and with confidence. Over the weekend, he fired back at short-sellers via social media, playfully referencing an old investing proverb with a Bitcoin twist: “Never short a man who buys orange ink by the barrel.”
But not all the heat is coming from investors. According to a recent regulatory disclosure, Strategy is now entangled in a class-action lawsuit. The complaint alleges that the company misled shareholders by downplaying the inherent risks of its Bitcoin-centric financial strategy. Following the news, shares of Strategy slipped 2% in pre-market trading.
While the firm continues to double down on its BTC thesis, its legal and reputational challenges are growing just as fast. Whether the latest acquisition signals confidence — or overreach — may ultimately depend on how the market digests both the buy and the backlash.
Michael Saylor, co-founder of the company now called Strategy and one of Bitcoin’s most vocal champions, says the next great migration of wealth will happen on the Bitcoin network.
Bitcoin’s roller-coaster days may be fading, and that shift could push the world’s largest digital asset into more professional portfolios, according to Coatue Management founder Philippe Laffont.
Truth Social, Donald Trump’s social-media platform, has quietly lodged paperwork for a fund that would hold both Bitcoin and Ethereum—marking the first time a Trump-linked business has ventured into the U.S. crypto-ETF arena.
Michael Saylor’s Strategy has just added 10,100 BTC—worth about $1.05 billion—to its balance sheet, lifting the company’s total stash to roughly 592,100 coins.
