Michael Saylor’s Strategy has doubled down at a moment most traders are stepping back. While Bitcoin slipped below $90,000 and fear took over the market, the company has now added 130 BTC for $11.7 million, pushing its total stack to a staggering 650,000 BTC.
It’s a bold move as a more delicate story unfolds behind the scenes.
Strategy picked up the Bitcoins at an average price of $89,960, locking in a 24.6% YTD BTC yield across its portfolio. The purchase wasn’t entirely a surprise – Saylor had teased it with a simple but telling message on X: “What if we start adding green dots?”
That hint came just days after Strategy paused buying following a big move: 8,178 BTC for $836 million, funded through its STRE offering. Yet the timing matters.
With the Fear & Greed Index sitting at 20, this is accumulation against the current.
Alongside the buy, Strategy announced a $1.44 billion USD reserve designed to protect dividend payments on its preferred stock and cover interest on outstanding debt. The company wants at least 12 months of coverage locked in and eventually 24 months or more.
This reserve was funded through the sale of MSTR shares via its ongoing at-the-market offering.
It ties directly into comments from CEO Phong Le, who recently acknowledged that a Bitcoin sale is possible if liquidity tightens.
Le laid out the exact conditions:
If both hit, Bitcoin becomes a liquidity tool.
Strategy has long been the institutional emblem of “HODL forever.”
Now the narrative gains a new layer: conviction backed by massive reserves, but with a clear kill-switch if the math stops working. In a market already on edge, that threshold becomes a metric the entire crypto sector will be watching.
