During the rise in Bitcoin prices, Strategy continued to increase its Bitcoin holdings, while Saylor consistently posted bullish messages on social media.
On April 25, Saylor wrote, “You can still buy Bitcoin for less than $100,000.”
In a post on the X platform prior to the purchase announcement, Saylor also stated, “Stay humble. Keep stacking (sats).”
He included a screenshot of Strategy's portfolio tracker in this message, showing the timeline of the company's Bitcoin purchases on the price chart.
