MicroStrategy Pauses Weekly Bitcoin Purchases, Ending 13-Week Buying Streak

MicroStrategy Pauses Weekly Bitcoin Purchases, Ending 13-Week Buying Streak
MicroStrategy appears to have paused its weekly bitcoin accumulation last week, ending a 13-week buying streak that began in late December. The Tysons Corner, Virginia-based firm — the largest publicly traded holder of bitcoin — has become known for its predictable cadence: Executive Chairman Michael Saylor typically signals upcoming purchases with an “Orange Dot” post on X each Sunday and follows up with a detailed update around 8 a.m. ET on Monday. Last week that routine broke. There was no Sunday purchase signal; instead, Saylor posted about the company’s perpetual preferred equity offering, Stretch (STRC). According to MicroStrategy’s own dashboard, the hiatus halts a run that added roughly 90,831 BTC over those 13 weeks. The company still holds 762,099 bitcoin at an average acquisition price of $75,694 per coin. The pause comes as MicroStrategy’s share price remains about 76% below its all-time high and bitcoin trades below $67,000 — a backdrop that has made the firm’s buying cadence a closely watched bellwether for institutional demand.
