Michael Saylor teases more bitcoin buying even as Strategy stock continues to fall

Michael Saylor has signaled continued bitcoin accumulation for Strategy as the company’s holdings reach 847,363 BTC, despite recent declines in the firm's stock price and mounting market skepticism.

Key Points

  • Strategy currently holds 847,363 bitcoin valued at approximately $50.9 billion as of June 28, 2026.
  • The company’s average purchase price across 113 separate acquisition events stands at $75,653 per coin.
  • Strategy stock (MSTR) recently fell to $82.31, reflecting investor concerns regarding the firm's funding model and dividend obligations.
  • Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse publicly criticized Strategy’s aggressive acquisition strategy, suggesting it negatively impacts the broader cryptocurrency market.
  • Despite stock volatility, Strategy maintains sufficient dollar reserves to cover its dividend obligations for approximately 10 months.

Why it Matters

The ongoing tension between Strategy’s aggressive accumulation strategy and its declining stock performance highlights the risks associated with debt-funded corporate bitcoin holdings. This situation serves as a critical test for institutional crypto-investment models as market participants weigh the sustainability of dividend obligations against long-term digital asset appreciation.
