After a brief pause in its Bitcoin acquisition streak, MicroStrategy appears poised to return to the market.
The company, known for holding more Bitcoin than any other public firm, is once again signaling an upcoming purchase—this time through a familiar move by its founder and executive chairman, Michael Saylor.
Saylor recently posted Strategy’s BTC portfolio tracker on social media, a subtle but recognizable cue that has historically preceded major Bitcoin buys. His accompanying message, “No tariffs on orange dots,” not only referenced the company’s signature charting visuals but also took a swipe at ongoing trade tensions between the U.S. and China.
Strategy halted its Bitcoin purchases earlier in April, sparking speculation about the firm’s financial strategy—especially as BTC prices dipped and MSTR shares slipped. Rumors circulated that the company might be under pressure to sell some of its holdings, but those fears have cooled now that Saylor appears ready to reengage.
Currently, Strategy holds 528,185 BTC, valued at roughly $44.7 billion. Bitcoin’s recent drop to around $83,000 may have presented a buying opportunity for the firm, whose average acquisition price remains well below the current market level.
The market has taken notice. Following Saylor’s post, Bitcoin saw a modest uptick, continuing its recovery from earlier losses. But analysts remain cautious. While previous Strategy buys have driven significant price momentum, some warn that macroeconomic factors—such as escalating trade tariffs—could temper any short-term gains.
Popular crypto analyst Il Capo of Crypto has issued a cautionary outlook for the digital asset market, warning of deeper corrections ahead as macroeconomic pressures return to the spotlight.
As Bitcoin briefly slipped to $103,000 last week, Strategy—the largest corporate BTC holder—seized the opportunity to grow its reserve.
Bitcoin’s recent price dip has stirred fresh debate around its connection to global liquidity, with analysts highlighting the relationship between BTC’s trajectory and the expanding M2 money supply.
On-chain analyst Willy Woo is signaling a possible cooldown in Bitcoin’s trend, suggesting the asset could be heading into a prolonged consolidation phase if it doesn’t reclaim strength soon.
