At the same time, on-chain analyst TedPillows dismissed the $1 billion sell-off allegations, attributing the transactions to internal wallet reorganizations.
The broader market environment adds further uncertainty. Bitcoin’s slide has occurred alongside a wider decline in crypto-related assets, with spot Bitcoin ETFs seeing $867 million in outflows last week. Nevertheless, Saylor remains focused on the long term, advocating for a four-year investment perspective to ride out volatility and outperform traditional assets such as gold and the S&P 500.
As of Friday, Strategy holds 641,692 BTC, purchased at an average price of $74,079 per Bitcoin. The company also recently revealed plans to raise $715 million through Euro-denominated preferred shares in Luxembourg, aiming to further expand its Bitcoin portfolio. Saylor’s steadfast approach has made Strategy a leading example of institutional Bitcoin adoption, even as critics question the long-term viability of its leveraged strategy.
