Michael Saylor has once again posted a message on social media to buy Bitcoin.
Does Michael Saylor want to surprise us?

That's provably a hint for next accumulation.

Also I don't think Michael Saylor want to surprise us, but rather he want to encourage people to buy Bitcoin by showing their portfolio and to remind people the current price of Bitcoin.

It seems there's another thing people need to look forward on what's going to happen. Since for sure many people want to know on how many Bitcoins they accumulate this time. Well look forward on their next updates.

I think Mitchell Saylor is the DCA King. He is buying Bitcoin regularly, regardless of the price. In addition, he has previously indicated how much the price of Bitcoin will increase in the future. He started buying Bitcoin regularly since August 2020. From there, he has been buying and holding Bitcoin until now. He said a few days ago that Bitcoin will be worth 13 million in 20 years. Since he is predicting things about Bitcoin for so long, it also means that he has no possibility of selling Bitcoin in a short time.

However, Michael Saylor often makes some kind of announcement before buying Bitcoin, hinting at the possibility of buying Bitcoin. This time was no exception. Maybe this week he will announce the purchase of Bitcoin in a different form, especially since he has mentioned the Orange Dot before buying Bitcoin at other times.

Strategy doesn't make announcements before buying Bitcoin
They usually buy Bitcoin across the week
So if they are buying Bitcoin, then they have already bought this week

Does Michael Saylor want to surprise us?

How could whatever Saylor/MSTR is doing be a surprise if he is announcing the matter a day earlier, within a weekly pattern in which Saylor/MSTR is pretty much buying BTC constantly and announcing their buys on more or less a weekly basis?  like surprise clockwork?

But this time his announcement of buying Bitcoin is different, that is, what he meant by the word "Sale" was not that he was selling Bitcoin. That is, he was indicating something to all the investors who would sell Bitcoin.

You really need to ponder over the meaning of "bitcoin is on sale"

That means that the BTC price could be perceived as being cheaper than it will be in the future or perhaps cheaper than what it had been in the past... So buying the bitcoin would be characterized as a good price relative to some other period of time.

I suppose literally someone is selling the bitcoin, and maybe the implication in bitcoin is that whoever is selling is not very smart because they are selling at prices that are relatively cheaper than what they otherwise should be.

The idea of bitcoin being "on sale" could end up being wrong into the future, yet at least this whole past week (presumptive period that Saylor had been buying) had been a week of dip, even though Saylor never really seems to want to pinpoint exactly when he has been doing the buys... and the way that he announces the buys seems to almost give the impression that he hadn't yet bought - even though many of us are getting the sense that in recent times, Saylor/MSTR is ongoingly buying bitcoin and just announcing right around weekly.. and probably since he is not even obligated to announce every week, he can choose the extent to which he announces every single week or if he might skip some   announcements from time to time and then just fold two weeks worth of bitcoin buys into one week.

Yeah.. on average..

But we already know that it is not true that bitcoin goes up 30% every year, and even the 200-WMA has had some historical years of ONLY going up 20% - yet at the same time, the average has been quite a bit greater than 30% to 40% per year, especially if taking several years at a time an then averaging them out (an average of an average)

However, Michael Saylor often makes some kind of announcement before buying Bitcoin, hinting at the possibility of buying Bitcoin. This time was no exception. Maybe this week he will announce the purchase of Bitcoin in a different form, especially since he has mentioned the Orange Dot before buying Bitcoin at other times.

Exactly.. Sunday tends to be an announcement of a forthcoming announcement, and Monday-ish will tend to outline more of the specifics of what had already happened through the previous week-ish of BTC buys - without giving specifics as to when those buys happened nor describing where such buys happened - not even showing evidence of the actually bought bitcoin on the blockchain, even though surely presumptively if Saylor/MSTR were to be audited in regards to his actual buys (by a government and/or by some kind of financial agency), Saylor/MSTR would be able to show legally adequate proof of such BTC purchases to such auditor.

Good point. The only surprise could come if he announces a big buy today, after the small buys of the last two weeks, but not because of Sunday's announcement.

Yeah.. on average..

But we already know that it is not true that bitcoin goes up 30% every year, and even the 200-WMA has had some historical years of ONLY going up 20% - yet at the same time, the average has been quite a bit greater than 30% to 40% per year, especially if taking several years at a time an then averaging them out (an average of an average)

At least his prediction today is more realistic than the ones I remember from the beginning, when he was talking about a 200% annual return. The current one makes more sense because it is based on the fact that, as the market cap and price have increased significantly, the average annual return will tend to decrease, and within that 30% there may be years, especially in the near future, when there is a 50 or 60% annual return, some years in negative territory, but volatility will tend to moderate over time, both positive and negative, tending towards that 30% average.

Although, as the history of bitcoin has shown us many times with predictions that have been made, he could be wrong, but at least his reasoning is quite logical.

Less than we are used to, although better than the last couple of weeks, and even if it is not one of those huge buys, we have to consider that if he were to buy an average of this amount for the rest of the year, it would be about $1.4 billion per month. More than enough to reach the 30% bitcoin yield proposed in the last review (which was the second upward revision this year). I believe that the total BTC yield at the end of the year will exceed that 30%.

At least looking at their Bitcoin purchases today it seems that MicroStrategy buys Bitcoin in a creative way. We saw that this company sold 875301 MSTR share through their common stock ATM, even they sold shares in 237336 STRF and 210100 STRK, and It is more sensational that their total net income from selling all these shares was $357. So the Bitcoin they purchased today was purchased using money, meaning they were able to use $356.9 million from there. It is mentioned that they spent 86 percent of the money they got by tapping the ATM and purchased 3,081 bitcoins.

Strategy Inc (MSTR) announced updates to its at-the-market offering programs and bitcoin holdings for the period from August 18 to August 24, 2025, according to a press release statement.

The company sold 875,301 MSTR shares through its common stock ATM program, generating $309.9 million in net proceeds. The $21 billion common stock program, established May 1, 2025, has $16.7 billion remaining available for issuance.

The 30% CAGR projection over 20 years by Michael Saylor is a headline-grabbing ambitious one, yet by his own number, it is already tamer than what had already happened to Bitcoin in history. BTC has already provided an 84% CAGR in the last 10 years, as well as 62% over five years, so achieving an average of 30% would not be surprising.. lol

Saylor is even considering a value of $13 million in 2045, which is 29% annual growth that would see a market cap of $280 trillion.  It seems a scary sci-fi valuation to nocoiner, but they dont want to imagine inflation, tokenization and shrinking supply truly justifying these prices. whatever, i never tell anyone bet your house on headlines. cause real hodlers always stack sats & let the cycles do their thing.

This becomes their 76th purchase of Bitcoin. I got this information here https://www.strategy.com/purchases
Never even knew that this section existed. And the chart is more accurate than the one posted by saylor
Since there are times it looks similar to previous week's.

Although, as the history of bitcoin has shown us many times with predictions that have been made, he could be wrong, but at least his reasoning is quite logical.

The previous prediction was too bogus and felt like something a shitcoin enthusiast would say
The current prediction is more achievable even if it may seem bearish in the first phase
30% of this year is around $140K.

Strategy Adds $357M in Bitcoin as Holdings Near 632,500 BTC.



Strategy acquired 3,081 bitcoin for $356.9 million as prices fell to $112,000.
Total bitcoin holdings now stand at 632,457 BTC, purchased at an average price of $73,527 per coin.
August's purchases slowed significantly compared to July's record accumulation.
Michael Saylor’s Strategy, the largest public corporate holder of bitcoin, expanded its holdings today by purchasing 3,081 BTC for $356.9 million as the bitcoin price slipped to $112,000.
This latest acquisition was disclosed in a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing, with the company paying an average price of $115,829 per bitcoin.
Ongoing accumulation
Strategy’s recent purchase occurred as bitcoin began the week trading near $116,700 and declined to $112,000 by Thursday.
The company’s continued accumulation underscores its confidence in bitcoin as a treasury asset.
With this acquisition, Strategy’s total holdings now stand at 632,457 BTC, acquired for approximately $46.5 billion at an average price of $73,527 per coin.
Up-to-date information on Strategy’s historical and current holdings can be found on the MicroStrategy bitcoin holdings tracker.
August purchases slow after July surge
In August, Strategy has purchased a total of 3,666 BTC, including two earlier buys of 430 BTC and 155 BTC.
This marks a notable slowdown from July, when the company acquired 31,466 BTC, and from June’s purchase of 17,075 BTC.
Strategy’s approach to market dips
Strategy appears to be using market downturns as buying opportunities.
The company stated in its SEC filing:
“Strategy acquired 3,081 additional bitcoins for approximately $356.9 million in cash during the week ending August 18, 2025.”

Since the securities are the inferior product, it might be better to reverse the image so that it shows the various inferior products causing an ability for people to give their money to MSTR in various creative ways so that MSTR can accumulate more bitcoin (the superior product).,. yet sure, there is a market and demand for such inferior products, so in that sense, I am not a hater, and some folks do not realize that the products are inferior so there are a number of folks and different kinds of folks who are more than willing to give money to MSTR for the various inferior products

[coolcoinz]

I fully understand that they see a company as a better option than the raw "superior" bitcoin that we would choose.

Some people are the commodity types while others prefer securities. Most of the Wall Street folk is 99% security-oriented and they just don't waste time trying gold or some scary digital assets. Why scary? Because they're not used to a situation where losing a phone means -$1m. They don't want that responsibility.
They see Saylor pumping the company into S$P 500 and they know if he gets there that means billions of inflows into MSTR stock. This is a blind buy if you just take a look at the capitalization chart.

If he gets into the S&P it might actually be one of the biggest price catalysts in the last 10 years, right after the decision to allow spot ETFs.

Bridging the $100 billion structured settlement market to Bitcoin is bigger than many people think. It will unlock capital tied up in low-yielding payments and provide a new pipeline of demand for BTC. Source


The size of this market in the US is estimated at $100 billion. This capital is mostly tied up in low-yielding instruments, so it is not immediately usable or productive, but if this capital is bridged to Bitcoin, then the stuck capital will be unlocked. Where previously the money stuck in payments/installments was not useful, now it will be converted into BTC and become immediately usable. With such a large market coming to Bitcoin, buying/using BTC will be mandatory. This means that a completely new pipeline is created to flow into BTC, which will create new demand for BTC. Crypto will be fully validated everywhere, meaning that Bitcoin was previously seen only as alternative money, but now it will become a legitimate medium used in real and large-scale finance.

Well, superior and inferior are relative terms. In terms of potential profitability, in terms of total return, the common stock, MSTR, would be superior, but in terms of security in the event of a hypothetical bankruptcy, STRF would be superior because it is at the top of the scale. Holders would be the first to be paid and are currently insured at a ratio of 7 to 1 in relation to net assets. This wouldn't fit with the scheme presented either, which I believe is based more on volatility, in which STRC would be the least volatile product and options the most volatile.

It could be that superior/inferior are somewhat argumentative terms, yet I don't consider my word-choice to be bad, even though it still could be argumentative regarding how the superiority/inferiority is explained.

I was not attempting to rank within MSTR's various security offerings, and you are correct that the security offerings that are currently available through MSTR have differing features and differing priorities in the way that they might pay out or in liquidation and/or bankruptcy priority scenarios. 

I was merely attempting to make the point the BTC is superior to various securities (perhaps applied to holding the underlying asset and the various self-sovereignty features that bitcoin provides, and sure if someone is able to make more money with securities then that could translate to holding more bitcoin at some later date and/or self-sovereignty coming from having more money), and MSTR is using the various financial instruments to be able to accumulate BTC using other people's money.

Maybe I was not attempting to get very deep in the analysis, even though sure other people have an interest in those financial products that MSTR is offering and other people may well perceive those MSTR financial products to be in their interest, whether or not they are perceived as being superior or inferior to holding bitcoin. 

I understand that for particular clients (perhaps especially institutions), they are going to perceive the securities as superior to holding the underlying (BTC) and maybe based on various objective facts in which it might be difficult for them to even hold the underlying (namely bitcoin).  I understand that some folks buying those various kinds of MSTR securities also might reasonably expect to get better price performance as compared with investing into bitcoin, which may well be based on legitimate rationale including MSTR's access to capital and to have better efficiencies and smartness in managing capital, as compared with individuals and/or others who are not as smart about bitcoin.

Top investment analyst predicts 30% surge in 'trailblazing' MicroStrategy stock
Canaccord Genuity analyst Joe Vafi gives a price target of $464 to the MicroStrategy stock.
Strategy (Nasdaq: MSTR), formerly MicroStrategy, continued Bitcoin shopping and reported holding 632,457 BTC earlier this week.

Though the largest public Bitcoin treasury firm, its stock is down 13% over the last month. But there is an analyst who is very bullish on the stock.
Source link: https://www.thestreet.com/crypto/markets/top-investment-analyst-predicts-30-surge-in-trailblazing-crypto-stock

The more Microstrategy Company stock price increases, the more Bitcoin purchases will be able to contribute and the amount of long-term holdings will increase.
Joe Vafi believes that the idea he has created will definitely come true, and the more the stock price rises, the more confident investors will be.
