Saylor Responds to Bitcoin Sale Speculation
Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of MicroStrategy, has addressed swirling rumors suggesting that the company may be selling its Bitcoin holdings. In a direct statement, Saylor dismissed the speculation, firmly stating that “there is no truth” to the claims.
This clarification comes after several online posts and social media chatter implied that MicroStrategy might be offloading some of its Bitcoin to capitalize on recent market rallies. However, Saylor’s comment quickly put those rumors to rest, reaffirming the company’s consistent “buy and hold” strategy.
MicroStrategy’s Long-Term Bitcoin Strategy
Since initiating its Bitcoin purchases in 2020, MicroStrategy has become the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, with over 150,000 BTC on its balance sheet. The company has consistently portrayed Bitcoin as a long-term asset and a hedge against inflation, a stance that Saylor has reinforced numerous times.
Despite Bitcoin’s volatility and various market corrections, MicroStrategy has not deviated from its strategy. Each market dip has typically been met with more purchases rather than sales. According to Saylor, this philosophy hasn’t changed—and the company remains committed to its Bitcoin vision.
No Evidence of Selling Activity
Blockchain analysts and market observers also noted that there is no on-chain evidence suggesting MicroStrategy has moved any significant amount of Bitcoin recently. Saylor’s public response aligns with this data, adding credibility to his denial.
In a market driven by sentiment and speculation, it’s not uncommon for rumors to influence short-term movements. However, MicroStrategy and Saylor have maintained transparency in their Bitcoin holdings, with each major purchase publicly documented. Until any formal SEC filings suggest otherwise, the company’s stance remains clear.
