Bitcoin enthusiasts interpret Saylor’s cryptic hints as indications of future purchases, as the company has often confirmed acquisitions after similar announcements in the past.

As we approach 2026, Strategy has not slowed its aggressive purchasing model. The first acquisition of the year occurred on January 4, with the purchase of 1,283 BTC for $115.97 million. This was followed by a substantial buy of 13,627 BTC for $1.25 billion on January 11.

With an average purchase price of $75,353 per coin, Strategy's total Bitcoin holdings now stand at 687,410 BTC, representing roughly 3.27% of the total Bitcoin supply cap of 21 million coins.

Despite this aggressive acquisition strategy, shareholders have not seen similar gains; in fact, Strategy's stock has lagged significantly over the past year. On January 16, the stock closed at $173.71, down over 52% from its previous year’s valuation. Investor anxiety increased leading into the fourth quarter of 2025, as the company continued selling short-term debt through convertible notes to finance its Bitcoin acquisitions.

Strategy was forced to pause purchases temporarily in late December and raise new equity to boost its cash reserves. At the same time, there were concerns regarding MSCI's consideration of excluding companies like Strategy from its indexes due to heavy Bitcoin involvement; however, those plans were eventually put on hold.

These unfolding scenarios have begun to shift investor sentiment positively, allowing the stock price to regain some ground, moving away from its year-to-date low of $150—an essential support level, as noted by analysts at crypto.news, which could indicate deeper losses if breached.

As Bitcoin continues to face challenges in achieving a six-figure price point, Strategy has yet to recover fully. Nonetheless, Saylor has consistently expressed confidence in the firm’s capacity to endure market volatility if necessary.
