MicroStrategy's Michael Saylor hints at resuming Bitcoin purchases after a two-month pause, with the last confirmed buy in August at $80,318 per BTC.
Macro & Markets ·
Michael Saylor signaled via social media that his company Strategy may have resumed Bitcoin accumulation following a roughly two-month hiatus from purchases. The last confirmed transaction occurred on August 31, involving 4,603 BTC acquired at $80,318 per unit, representing an outlay of approximately $370 million. The oblique nature of Saylor's announcement—posting a chart of prior accumulations with minimal commentary—left the timing and volume of any new purchases undisclosed.
The potential return to buying arrives amid significant macroeconomic developments. The US Federal Reserve enacted its first rate increase in over three years, while the Bank of Japan raised rates to their highest level in 31 years. Additionally, the Senate rejected advancing the CLARITY Act earlier in the week. In the interim between August and the latest signal, Strategy had pivoted its capital allocation toward repurchasing its own stock, which recovered from lows near $75 to close Friday around $98.51.
Whether Saylor's hint reflects an actual transaction or merely expresses directional intent remains unclear. The post provided no confirmation of purchase completion, timing, or quantity, leaving open questions about the scale and execution of any resumed accumulation activity.
