MicroStrategy Buys $250M in Bitcoin, Calling the Crypto ‘Superior to Cash’

Quote from: UpTober on May 17, 2026, 02:44:52 PM

Michael Saylor may have hinted that he might buy a large amount of Bitcoin this week. The "big dot energy" on his chart basically means that he has bought a large amount of Bitcoin each time. If we look at the current market value of all the Bitcoins he has bought so far, it is about $64.23 billion, which is equal to the total GDP of several countries. His total Bitcoin holdings so far are 818,896. He also mentioned another thing on his chart that his average purchase price is much higher than the current market price. Maybe there is more big news waiting for Michael Saylor.source

And they already released their latest accumulation which is really huge https://x.com/saylor/status/2056344648478548205.

Amazing to see them doing that and for using such huge amount of money for buying Bitcoin this shows strong conviction on their long term investment with this coin.

They are close to hit 1 million Bitcoins https://www.strategy.com/purchases

When he posted this to his followers yesterday, I immediately assumed that a big explosion was waiting, and within a few hours, he confirmed the large amount of Bitcoin he had purchased.

The week has ended: this is the forecast by strc.live

They assign 50% of the volume above par to bitcoin buying.
I am a little bit more aggressive than that.
I assign all the proceeds of STRC sales above 100 toward bitcoin buying, save the needed cash to maintain the dividend reserves at 24 months.
This would imply something more around 24,000 Bitcoins.
Huge, even if not record inflows.

And today we had:

Nailed it!

Maybe I was just lucky!

As we discussed, Strategy wants to change the dividend payment in STRC from monthly to bimonthly:

This means the “arbitrageur” will have more difficulty buying the stock before the dividend date and selling it after the ex-dividend date. This would double their transaction cost.

On the contrary, the share will more likely float around 100 to get more inflows in a more continuous way.

We'll have to wait and see, because someone who buys 1,000 shares of STRC on IBKR now pays about $6, or $12 a month if we include the sale as well. The cost will nearly double to about $22, but that same person is earning $958 a month in dividends, so it doesn’t really hurt them much either. Not everyone uses low-cost brokers or buys 1,000 shares, but I think those who keep the stock’s trading volume high do.

Michael Saylor invested in Bitcoin on Monday and made an announcement on Sunday, but this time he did not make an announcement like the previous time. Rather, this time this week Michael Saylor will not buy Bitcoin, but will buy bonds instead of buying Bitcoin.
One such announcement was tweeted from his official X account.

HAHAHA! This is a fucking joke, and the worst part is all the people who take his jokes seriously every time he comes up with another bizarre idea.

So, what do you think saylormooners? Buying bonds is going to send Bitcoin to the moon?

I think it's high time a POR is conducted
I can't really recall what the debt was on convertible
But from what I saw which I would want to believe because I would like to give him the benefit of doubt
That he isn't that stupid
He's paying off some MSTR debts they owed when they borrowed cash.
So I believe he's talking about Convertible Bonds

He isn't stupid at all.

If it were the convertible debt, it would make more sense, but buying government bonds wouldn't be surprising either—just as he built up a cash reserve.

The point is that, whatever the case may be, he's going to sell it as something extraordinary. And saylormooners are going to applaud anyway.

Whether they use bonds or debts, Saylor will try to spin it and make it a extraordinary actions done by his company. Even if the action still questionable still we could see that their followers still applause them on those action no matter what it is.

With that its like many people value more the story they create rather than looking at real situation happening in their company. Strategy is under pressure now and let's see how they could sustain their Bitcoin investment for much longer time.
