Tracker update sparks bets MicroStrategy will buy more bitcoin as Saylor says sales could protect its value

Michael Saylor's recent tracker post revived talk of a new corporate Bitcoin acquisition while his comments about selling have altered investor expectations [1].

May 17, 20269:25 PMNewsroom AI

Michael Saylor posted a bitcoin-tracker update on X using phrases such as “Big Dot Energy” / “Big Point Energy,” a move that revived market speculation about a possible new Bitcoin purchase by Strategy [1] [2] [3].

Data cited alongside the update put Strategy’s total holdings at 818,869 BTC, roughly $64 billion, keeping the company as one of the largest corporate Bitcoin holders globally [3] [2].

Separately, Saylor has said Strategy could sell Bitcoin to protect its value as a corporate asset; comments on The Wolf Of All Streets and an earnings call introduced the possibility of sales for dividends and shifted some investor expectations about a strict “never sell” stance [4] [3].

Strategy has not issued a formal purchase announcement; market participants are awaiting any official company disclosure before treating the tracker post as confirmation [3].
