Saylor Shoots Down Sale Rumors as Strategy Buys Bitcoin Daily During Market Dip
As Bitcoin plunged below $94,000—its lowest level in six months—social media lit up with speculation that Michael Saylor and Strategy were unloading their massive BTC holdings. But the long-time bitcoin maximalist quickly set the record straight. Instead of selling, Strategy used the volatility to buy more bitcoin every day this week, reinforcing Saylor’s unwavering conviction in BTC as a long-term asset.

Rumors Spread Fast—But Saylor Responds Faster
The claims began on small, low-credibility accounts before being amplified by influencers with hundreds of thousands of followers. This rapid spread triggered anxiety for some traders, though many in the community doubted Strategy would break its well-known “never sell” philosophy.
Saylor swiftly refuted the claims on X and in a CNBC interview, calling the rumors baseless. He reiterated Strategy’s ongoing accumulation strategy, emphasizing that the company views dips as opportunities—not threats.
Volatility Is Expected, Says Saylor
Speaking to CNBC, Saylor noted that sharp price swings are normal in risk-on assets like bitcoin. His advice to investors: zoom out to a four-year horizon, where BTC has consistently outperformed traditional asset classes.
Crucially, he emphasized that Strategy has no price-based trigger that would force selling. Even an 80% drop, Saylor stated, wouldn’t pressure the company to liquidate its holdings. Strategy’s BTC stash currently stands at 641,692 BTC, worth nearly $62 billion even after the correction.
Arkham Clarifies: No, Strategy Didn’t Sell
Part of the confusion stemmed from blockchain tracking platform Arkham Intelligence, which showed Strategy moving 43,415 BTC across more than 100 new addresses. However, Arkham later clarified that these were custodial rotations—not sales.

Strategy Doubles Down, Not Backs Out
Despite market turmoil and unfounded speculation, Saylor and Strategy continue to lean into bitcoin, not away from it. With ongoing accumulation, clarified custodial transfers, and firm public reassurance, the message is clear: Strategy’s long-term BTC conviction hasn’t wavered.
