Michael Saylor hints at first bitcoin purchase in two months as bitcoin nears $79,000

Bitcoin rebounds from Friday’s low as Strategy’s valuation expands and bitcoin dominance climbs above 60%.

Michael Saylor hints at first bitcoin purchase in two months as bitcoin nears $79,000

Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy, has hinted that his company's "Strategy" may resume Bitcoin buying after a two-month hiatus. In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Saylor declared "We're Back," signaling a potential return to corporate Bitcoin accumulation. This announcement comes as a reassurance to market watchers, given Saylor's history of using cryptic weekend teasers to announce official treasury purchase decisions on Monday mornings.

During the pause, Strategy focused on strengthening its balance sheet by expanding its preferred stock offerings, building a $5.1 billion USD reserve, and introducing a dedicated $1.59 billion cash pool. As Bitcoin has recently recovered above the $80,000 threshold, the resumption of buying could bring Strategy's overall position back into positive territory for the first time in months.
