Strategy Signals Return to Bitcoin Buying Spree as MSTR Surges

• Michael Saylor hinted at resuming Bitcoin purchases after Strategy paused its 12-week buying streak. 

• MSTR stock surged nearly 8% this week and reached $434.58 despite the temporary halt. 

• Strategy holds 597,325 BTC and may cross 600,000 BTC with its next purchase.

Michael Saylor has indicated that Strategy plans to resume its Bitcoin acquisition program after a week-long pause. The company’s founder shared a chart on X showing Strategy’s Bitcoin purchases since August 2020, accompanied by a caption hinting at an upcoming purchase announcement.

“Some weeks you don’t just HODL,” Saylor posted, signaling the end of the company’s temporary halt to its 12-week Bitcoin buying streak. The hint triggered a surge in MSTR stock during premarket trading while Bitcoin consolidates around the $118,000 mark.

Strategy ended its consecutive purchase run last week when Saylor’s social media post suggested the company would hold its current Bitcoin position. The pause coincided with Strategy’s announcement of a $4.2 billion STRD offering designed to strengthen cash reserves for future cryptocurrency acquisitions.

Strategy’s Bitcoin Holdings Approach 600K Mark

The Bitcoin treasury company currently holds 597,325 BTC, potentially positioning it to cross the 600,000 BTC threshold with its next purchase. Strategy’s acquisition strategy has consistently driven market attention since the company began accumulating Bitcoin in August 2020.

Saylor’s latest post departed from his typical approach of sharing the company’s portfolio tracker before purchases. Instead, he opted for a Bitcoin acquisition chart, creating speculation about the timing and size of the next buy.

The company’s strategic pause allowed other Bitcoin treasury companies to fill the market void. New players entered the space during the week, accumulating significant cryptocurrency holdings while Strategy remained sidelined.

MSTR Stock Gains Despite Bitcoin Purchase Pause

MSTR recorded an impressive performance this week, closing with nearly 8% gains to $434.58 despite the temporary halt in Bitcoin purchases. The stock’s strength demonstrates investor confidence in Strategy’s long-term Bitcoin accumulation strategy.

Bitcoin reached a new all-time high during the same period, touching $118,856 and proving resilient against macroeconomic pressures. The cryptocurrency navigated challenges from the new Trump administration tariffs and reduced Federal Reserve rate cut expectations.

The correlation between Strategy’s Bitcoin announcements and MSTR stock performance continues to attract traders and institutional investors. Traders closely monitor Saylor’s social media activity for signals about the company’s next moves.

Strategy’s return to Bitcoin purchasing could provide additional momentum for both MSTR stock and Bitcoin prices. The company’s influence on cryptocurrency markets remains substantial, with each acquisition announcement typically generating significant trading volume and price movement across digital assets.
