By John Nada·Feb 2, 2026·2 min read
Michael Saylor of Strategy hints at buying more Bitcoin after a weekend dip, indicating a bullish outlook despite market uncertainty.
Michael Saylor, co-founder of Strategy, hinted at the firm increasing its Bitcoin holdings after a significant drop in the cryptocurrency's value. Over the weekend, Bitcoin slid more than 13%, briefly pushing Strategy's substantial BTC position into the red. Saylor posted 'More Orange' on X, accompanied by a chart detailing his firm's $55 billion worth of Bitcoin purchases since August 2020. This signals that Strategy is likely to buy more Bitcoin, marking its fifth purchase this year. The largest acquisition occurred on January 20, involving 22,305 Bitcoin, solidifying Strategy's position as the largest Bitcoin treasury company with over 712,647 Bitcoin on its balance sheet. Despite this, Bitcoin's price fell from $87,970 to $75,892 during the weekend, dipping below Strategy's cost basis of $76,040, before later rebounding to $76,765. This decline followed U.S. President Donald Trump's nomination of Kevin Warsh to replace Jerome Powell as the Federal Reserve chair, which may impact Bitcoin's market dynamics. Warsh, seen as a hawkish pick, has expressed favorable views on Bitcoin, yet his potential policies could lead to fiscal restraint and an exit from quantitative easing. Additionally, the crypto market sentiment is deteriorating, with former Binance CEO Changpeng 'CZ' Zhao expressing his diminished confidence in the 'Bitcoin supercycle' he previously predicted. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index fell six points to 14 out of 100, marking the lowest score in over a month. As Strategy prepares for potential Bitcoin purchases, the overall market sentiment reflects a cautious outlook. What does this mean for investors? With Strategy's bullish stance amidst falling prices, the reaction of the broader market could set the tone for Bitcoin's near-term trajectory.
