As a result, markets have grown accustomed to reading such posts as signals. To be clear, the message itself does not contain an explicit announcement. Yet past examples suggest this silence rarely lasts long.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1344\" data-end=\"1539\">Indeed, on January 5, Strategy purchased 1,286 BTC, spending $116 million at an average price of $88,568 per coin. This move continued the accumulation trend seen in the early days of the year.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1541\" data-end=\"1779\">At the end of December, between December 29\u201331, the company added 3 BTC. In the first four days of January, a further 1,283 BTC was acquired at an average of $90,391. Strategy maintained its buying discipline despite price fluctuations.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1781\" data-end=\"1826\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_Strategys_Bitcoin_Holdings_Stand\"><\/span>Where Strategy\u2019s Bitcoin Holdings Stand<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1828\" data-end=\"2023\">Current data indicates Strategy holds a total of 673,783 BTC, purchased at a total cost of $50.55 billion. The average cost per coin stands at $75,026, underlining the company\u2019s long-term view.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2025\" data-end=\"2291\">According to SEC filings, a significant portion of these holdings was funded by selling MSTR shares. By July, roughly two million shares had been sold, generating $312.2 million in net proceeds. Both balance sheet risks and timing choices remain closely monitored.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2293\" data-end=\"2502\">Meanwhile, MSCI\u2019s decision to abandon planned index changes has slightly reduced uncertainty around Strategy shares. The previously discussed risk of exclusion from the index seems temporarily off the table.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2504\" data-end=\"2549\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bitcoin_Price_Stalemate_Draws_Attention\"><\/span>Bitcoin Price Stalemate Draws Attention<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2551\" data-end=\"2762\">On the technical side, Bitcoin remains indecisive. Analyst Ted shared on X that prices are oscillating in the $90,500\u2013$91,000 range. Resistance appears near $92,000, while support lies between $88,000\u2013$88,500.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2764\" data-end=\"2945\">The $88,000 level overlaps with a CME gap, creating structural support. Market sentiment is split\u2014some anticipate a bullish breakout, while others weigh a potential downward move.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2947\" data-end=\"3152\">Additionally, rising US\u2013Iran geopolitical tensions add external pressure that could affect risk appetite. Whether Bitcoin can remain flat under these circumstances will become clearer in the coming days.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3154\" data-end=\"3325\">For now, the picture remains uncertain. Saylor\u2019s timing, however, has sparked expectations that this quiet phase may not last long. All eyes remain on potential updates.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3154\" data-end=\"3325\"><em>In the comment section, you can freely share your comments about the topic.
