Michael Saylor, known for his long-term commitment to Bitcoin, has clearly denied the recent social media claims that “Strategy is selling Bitcoin.” Speculation began after the company moved a large amount of BTC to new wallets, sparking debate within the community. However, Saylor emphasized in both his statements and posts that Strategy is not selling on the contrary, it is aggressively buying more.
Bitcoin Transfers Sparked Debate: Why Did the Sale Rumors Begin?
Strategy’s transfer of 76,000 BTC to different wallets led some online commentators to claim that the company might be preparing to sell. Posts spreading quickly on X caused users to speculate about a potential decrease in the company’s BTC holdings.
But Saylor clarified that these transfers were part of operational wallet restructuring and had nothing to do with selling. In his own words:
“We’re not selling. In fact, we’re buying quite a lot.”
Saylor made this statement during a live interview on CNBC, adding that the company will announce new purchases on Monday, saying:
“We have purchases coming that will surprise people.”
MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Performance: 5-Year Annual Return of 50%
Saylor highlighted that Bitcoin’s long-term performance has clearly outpaced all other assets. Based on the five-year average:
- Bitcoin’s annual average return: 50%
- Gold’s annual average return: 14%
- S&P 500’s annual average return: 14%
He also noted that Strategy’s BTC portfolio—641,692 Bitcoin acquired at an average cost of $74,000—has delivered a return as strong as Nvidia over the last five years.
Saylor emphasized the effectiveness of this BTC-focused strategy, stating:
“There is no other stock in the S&P 500 that has performed better.”
Addressing Leverage Concerns: “We Are Overcollateralized”
Saylor rejected claims that the company is overexposed or taking excessive borrowing risks. He stated that Strategy has used leverage below 1.15x for the past four and a half years.
According to Saylor:
- Even if Bitcoin drops 80%, the company remains overcollateralized and financially secure.
- Strategy uses preferred equity with no credit default risk as part of its risk-management approach.
Saylor added:
“We bought Bitcoin every day this week.”.
Saylor Is Clear: “Stablecoins Are Not a Competitor to Bitcoin”
When asked about Cathie Wood’s Bitcoin price targets and the view that stablecoins might threaten BTC’s use case, Saylor dismissed this idea entirely.
He outlined the digital economy as follows:
- Bitcoin: Digital capital
- Ethereum, Solana, and other PoS networks: Digital finance
- Stablecoins: Digital cash
Therefore, stablecoin growth does not threaten Bitcoin’s core role, Saylor argued.
BTC Transfers Were Not Sales
Saylor’s statements fully dispelled the recent sell-off rumors. It is now clear that Strategy:
- Did not transfer BTC for selling purposes
- Has been buying heavily during the market dip
- Will soon announce another major Bitcoin purchase
Saylor’s stance reinforces the company’s unwavering commitment to its long-term Bitcoin strategy and reassures investors, effectively ending the sale speculation circulating online.
