Saylor Builds Hype With “Digital Energy” Comment
Michael Saylor, the chairman and founder of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), has once again stirred the crypto community. On social media, he shared a chart of the company’s Bitcoin purchases and wrote that “Bitcoin is digital energy.” This kind of post has, in the past, signaled that an official company statement about its Bitcoin holdings is coming within a day.
So far, Strategy itself hasn’t put out any new announcement. But Saylor’s timing is hard to ignore. The post includes updated data on the company’s Bitcoin stash, which suggests he’s either teasing or preparing investors for news.
Losses Loom Despite Giant Holdings
According to the figures Saylor shared, Strategy now holds 847,363 Bitcoin, which is worth about $53.09 billion at current market prices. But the company paid a lot more for those coins. The total cost basis sits at $64.11 billion, meaning their average purchase price is around $75,653 per Bitcoin.
That math leads to an uncomfortable number: roughly $11.01 billion in unrealized losses. The current reserve value is about 17.18 percent below what Strategy spent. That’s a big gap, even for a company that’s famously bullish on Bitcoin.
What Comes Next for Strategy?
The company hasn’t said whether it plans to buy more Bitcoin or hold steady. Based on past behavior, Saylor’s posts often come right before an announcement of additional purchases. If that’s the case here, investors might see another big buy soon.
The timing is tricky. Bitcoin prices have been volatile, and Saylor’s strategy of loading up on BTC during dips has worked before, but it also means the company is sitting on some heavy paper losses right now. Still, Saylor has never backed down from his Bitcoin-centric vision.
For now, the market waits. If the official statement arrives tomorrow and includes new purchases, it could boost confidence. If not, the “digital energy” comment might just be a reminder that Strategy isn’t changing its course.
This is not investment advice.
