The market is sliding. Prices are pulling back. FUD is everywhere on social media. Yet three heavyweight figures in crypto are converging on the same position: buying instead of selling.
Binance founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, SkyBridge Capital boss Anthony Scaramucci, and Strategy Chairman Michael Saylor have all openly confirmed that despite the recent downturn, they are not liquidating their Bitcoin or crypto holdings. Instead, they are increasing exposure. Short-term pressure remains, but all three continue to keep long-term bullish scenarios on the table.
CZ Speaks Clearly: “We’re Not Selling, We’re Holding”
Changpeng Zhao reiterated his stance in a post on X on February 11. The tone was simple. The message direct:
We’re not selling. We’re buying and holding.
CZ has repeatedly stated in the past that he doesn’t actively trade and only holds Bitcoin, BNB, and several crypto assets long term. This time was no different — even amid rising uncertainty, his position stayed unchanged.
The familiar CZ reflex surfaced as well: he reminded followers that periods of maximum fear often present the best buying opportunities.
Notably, his comments came around the same time Goldman Sachs reported a 15% quarter-over-quarter increase in crypto holdings, reaching $2.36 billion — a small timing detail, but one that matters for market psychology.
Meanwhile, Binance has reportedly converted part of its SAFU fund stablecoin reserves into Bitcoin. The fund currently holds approximately 10,455 BTC, valued at over $736 million at current prices.
Scaramucci: “We Bought at 84K — and at 63K”
Anthony Scaramucci’s approach has been more aggressive.
Speaking at Consensus Hong Kong, the SkyBridge Capital founder confirmed that they accelerated Bitcoin purchases during the recent pullbacks. In his own words:
Ten days ago we were buying at 84,000. Last week we bought at 63,000. We’re buyers again in this market.
Scaramucci has long said roughly 70% of his net worth is tied to Bitcoin. There’s been no softening in that view. He believes capital inflows will accelerate once the U.S. crypto market structure bill is approved.
In short: he sees the dips as opportunity.
Michael Saylor: Strategy Will Not Sell Bitcoin
Michael Saylor delivered a similar message. He pushed back firmly against speculation that Strategy might sell its Bitcoin holdings. Despite current volatility and unrealized losses, he emphasized that the company will maintain its BTC position.
He went further, stating that Strategy plans to continue buying Bitcoin every quarter.
CEO Phong Le’s recent remarks align with this stance. According to him, Bitcoin would need to fall to $8,000 and remain there until 2032 for Strategy to face forced liquidation risk.
From today’s levels, that scenario looks distant.
Bitcoin Pulls Back, But Big Names Hold Their Ground
Despite statements from Binance CZ, Scaramucci, and Saylor, Bitcoin slid roughly 3% over the past 24 hours to around $66,900. The intraday range formed between $66,927 and $69,954. Trading volume also dropped about 14% ahead of U.S. nonfarm payroll and unemployment data.
The market is cautious. But the language of large players tells a different story.
Short-term charts may slope downward. Still, behind the scenes, a quiet group continues to build positions. When CZ’s “no selling” stance meets Scaramucci’s dip buying and Saylor’s persistence, it becomes clear this pullback doesn’t mean the same thing to everyone.
