Michael Saylor Hints at Another Significant Bitcoin Purchase as BTC Crosses $100,000

Michael Saylor, the executive chairman of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), has hinted that the firm may be preparing for another significant Bitcoin purchase.

The suggestion came in a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), where Saylor shared a screenshot of the company’s Bitcoin portfolio tracker.

The post, which was simply captioned "connect the dots," follows a familiar pattern of Saylor using cryptic messages ahead of official announcements. These messages typically indicate that the firm is preparing to add more BTC to its balance sheet.

As of press time, Strategy holds 555,450 BTC, which is currently valued at more than $58 billion and makes the firm the largest corporate holder of the top crypto.

The company’s last BTC purchase was announced in December when it added 330 coins to its balance sheet at an average price of around $94,000. Since then, Strategy has been gradually adding to its BTC holdings through smaller purchases.

The firm’s bold Bitcoin approach has also influenced several other firms to follow suit. For example, Japan’s Metaplanet, which now holds over 5,000 BTC, has earned comparisons to MicroStrategy in Asia. The firm recently launched a US-based unit to scale its Bitcoin strategy beyond regional boundaries.

At the same time, competition is intensifying in the US corporate Bitcoin space. Leading banking giant Cantor Fitzgerald, in partnership with stablecoin issuer Tether, has launched a joint $3 billion initiative to build a dedicated Bitcoin treasury firm.

The move follows Ramaswamy’s firm Strive merging with Asset to create another contender in the space. Strive is already known for its Bitcoin-focused exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which aim to provide investors with a way to invest in the top crypto through a familiar product.

The cooperation between Cantor Fitzgerald and Tether will reportedly enable the creation of a treasury firm valued at $3 billion. This initiative is set to combine Cantor’s experience in capital markets with Tether’s expertise in digital assets. Their goal is to manage a substantial portfolio of Bitcoin and potentially other digital assets.

The new treasury firm will be targeted at institutions and family offices seeking to gain exposure to Bitcoin in a structured and compliant manner. Cantor Fitzgerald will be responsible for fundraising and investor relations, while Tether will contribute its experience in digital asset operations and liquidity management.

Earlier this week, a report from De Tijd claimed that several large companies, including Apple and Alphabet (Google’s parent company), are planning to invest billions of dollars in Bitcoin to hedge against inflation. However, both tech giants have since denied the report.
