The comment follows a four-week buying streak, so another purchase appears likely. Earlier, Strategy announced a large $2.13 billion acquisition. The company bought 22,305 Bitcoin at an average price of $95,284 per coin. As a result, total holdings climbed to 709,715 Bitcoin, making Strategy the first company to cross the 700,000 Bitcoin mark.

Moreover, the company added 37,218 Bitcoin during the current month alone. BitcoinTreasuries data shows Strategy now holds about 1.1 times more Bitcoin than all governments combined. This accumulation has placed the firm in a unique position within the global digital asset landscape.

Strategy’s Bitcoin Moves Spark Market Speculation and Investor Confidence

Crypto traders are closely watching the company’s next moves. Polymarket data indicates a 63% chance that Strategy will report more than 740,000 BTC by February 28. The probability rises further, with an 83% chance of surpassing 800,000 BTC before the end of the year.

Such expectations have boosted interest in the company’s preferred securities. Investors see the buying spree as a sign of continued confidence in Bitcoin, despite recent market volatility. The momentum has created speculation about how far the accumulation could go in 2026.

Meanwhile, another player is entering the scene. Strive, a Bitcoin treasury firm backed by Vivek Ramaswamy, announced plans to raise $150 million through a secondary public offering. The funds will be directed toward debt repayment and additional Bitcoin purchases.

Michael Saylor Explains Why Bitcoin Could Solve Money’s Biggest Problems

Michael Saylor has defended Bitcoin against critics who call it a bubble. On the PBD Podcast, he said Bitcoin solves a long-standing problem in history. He described it as a way to store economic energy cleanly and reliably. Critics compare it to the Dutch tulip bubble, saying life would not change if Bitcoin disappeared. However, Saylor pointed out that many important technologies once seemed useless. He reminded listeners that people used to live short, harsh lives and thought early death was normal.

Moreover, Saylor explains that human longevity improved through simple innovations. Clean water, safe food, electricity, medicine, and energy changed life for everyone. Before these advances, even the wealthy faced unsafe conditions and high infant mortality. Today, money faces similar problems. He says it is dirty, unstable, and unreliable, which is why Bitcoin could fix the system.

Bitcoin Faces Dip as Global Tensions Shake Markets

Bitcoin has shown weakness during recent sessions. At the time of writing, it was trading at $89,120, down about 0.3% over 24 hours. Price moved lower from levels above $95,000 and stays well below the October peak near $126,000. However, Bitcoin still holds a market value close to $1.78 trillion. The figure confirms its lead as the largest digital asset and reflects solid year over year performance, even while short term pressure remains.

Meanwhile, global politics added fresh stress to markets. On January 20, President Donald Trump threatened tariffs on eight European nations unless Denmark ceded Greenland. His comments included hints of possible force, which triggered a broad move away from risk. As a result, gold climbed to record highs while Bitcoin slid into the low $90K range.
