MicroStrategy, the largest publicly listed corporate holder of Bitcoin, appears ready to resume BTC purchases this week after a brief pause; CEO Michael Saylor signaled the move by reviving his ‘orange dot’. The restart breaks a short hiatus in what had been one of the longest-running corporate buying programs.
MicroStrategy shares fell for a second straight session, closing the week at $120—far below the $542 all‑time high. The pullback could deepen even as CEO Michael Saylor signals a possible resumption of Bitcoin accumulation.
Michael Saylor said large corporate Bitcoin purchases don’t necessarily produce immediate price spikes, while his firm continues to add to its BTC position as part of a long-term accumulation strategy.
Michael Saylor is pursuing a plan to double MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin holdings to roughly 1.5 million BTC using equity financing and structured debt instruments, signaling renewed aggressive institutional accumulation.
Peter Schiff unexpectedly praised Michael Saylor after Saylor's latest acquisition of 3,015 BTC amid ongoing market volatility. The exchange highlights growing attention to large-scale accumulation and keeps the public debate around Bitcoin's outlook active.
Michael Saylor’s dollar-cost-averaging corporate strategy now holds 717,131 BTC — worth over $54 billion — as it enters its seventh year. The accumulation remains the largest corporate Bitcoin DCA on record.
MicroStrategy announced the purchase of 2,486 BTC on Feb. 17, 2026, bringing its total to 717,131 BTC. The acquisition continues the company's long-running strategy of accumulating bitcoin for its corporate treasury.
Michael Saylor reiterated on Feb 11, 2026 that MicroStrategy will continue accumulating bitcoin and has no intention to sell, even in a prolonged downturn. BTC trades around $65,900–$66,150.
MicroStrategy acquired 1,142 bitcoins for about $90 million, averaging $78,815 per coin. The purchase was made at the onset of last week’s crypto market crash.
Michael Saylor urged investors to hold rather than sell after Bitcoin’s latest plunge, calling long-term conviction the key to adoption. His message frames accumulation and patience as the “definitive rule” for driving mainstream use of BTC.
