MicroStrategy’s CEO, Michael Saylor, has raised speculation about another Bitcoin acquisition following a cryptic tweet hinting at significant developments tied to President-elect Donald Trump’s upcoming inauguration.
On Sunday, Saylor tweeted, “Things will be different tomorrow,” sparking curiosity among crypto enthusiasts. The statement follows the company’s recent Bitcoin acquisition spree, which has brought MicroStrategy’s holdings to a total of 450,000 BTC.
In tandem with this, Fred Thiel, CEO of Bitcoin mining company Marathon Digital Holdings (MARA), and Vice President Robert Samuels shared similar sentiments after posing for a photo with Saylor at the “Crypto Ball” event on January 17. The event celebrated Trump’s return to the White House and his newfound alignment with the crypto sector.
Samuels remarked, “Our team, in partnership with [Saylor], met with the entire incoming cabinet of the Trump Administration. We are excited about the future of mining in the U.S.”
Saylor’s tweet, coupled with data from Saylortracker, which monitors MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin purchases, carries weight given the company’s recent buying behavior. On January 12, Saylor’s previous tweet hinting at a purchase was followed by the acquisition of 2,530 BTC at an average price of $95,972, totaling $243 million.
With Trump expected to issue crypto-friendly executive orders, Saylor’s anticipation of “things being different” could indicate further moves in the Bitcoin market. MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin buying strategy has garnered attention, as it could benefit from a more crypto-accepting regulatory environment.
Since December 2024, MicroStrategy has made multiple Bitcoin purchases, including:
- January 13: 2,530 BTC at $95,972 ($243 million)
- January 6: 1,070 BTC at $94,004 ($101 million)
- December 30: 2,138 BTC at $97,837 ($209 million)
- December 23: 5,262 BTC at $106,662 ($561 million)
- December 16: 15,350 BTC at $100,386 ($1.5 billion)
- December 9: 21,550 BTC at $98,783 ($2.1 billion)
- December 2: 15,400 BTC at $95,976 ($1.5 billion)
MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin portfolio has generated an unrealized return of 67.7%, amounting to paper profits of $19.09 billion. As of Sunday, Bitcoin was trading at over $106,000 per coin.
If Saylor’s latest hint leads to another purchase, it would bolster MicroStrategy’s position as the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin. The company’s aggressive strategy has yielded positive returns in recent months, with most purchases since December showing gains of 7.35% to 11.18%. This new acquisition would align with MicroStrategy’s long-term goal of integrating Bitcoin into its corporate treasury strategy.
