Strategy’s Michael Saylor Teases Fresh Bitcoin Buy After Friday’s Market Dip
Michael Saylor, the co-founder of Strategy, sparked talks of another Bitcoin buy after Friday’s market crash by posting a chart showing the company’s $71.7 billion Bitcoin holdings with the caption,” Don’t stop believin.
MicroStrategy already owns 640,031 BTC, purchased at an average price of $73,983, and is known for steadily adding Bitcoin to its holdings as a long-term reserve rather than a short-term investment.
The total value of the company’s Bitcoin holdings has risen by over 51% since the first purchase, resulting in more than $24 billion in profits. Each orange dot on the chart indicates when Bitcoin was purchased, demonstrating that Saylor’s company continues to buy BTC during both market highs and lows.
Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin Boost Coincides with BTC Dominance
Saylor’s post came as Bitcoin’s price stayed above $110,000 after a major market sell-off that caused heavy losses across all altcoins.
At the same time, Bitcoin dominance, a metric used to measure the relative market share of Bitcoin in the overall cryptocurrency sector, has grown, surpassing the 60.6% level for the first time in months, according to TradingView data.
The surge indicates that money is flowing from altcoins into Bitcoin as traders look for safety options amid market volatility.
Analyst CryptoPulse notes that if the dominance reaches around 62%, it could confirm a Bitcoin-led recovery.

This highlights that Tether continues to focus on safety and diversification amid growing global financial uncertainty.
