Another Market Raid? Strategy Chairman Michael Saylor Says “Bitcoin Is Calling”

Strategy chairman Michael Saylor has raised eyebrows within the crypto community after teasing "Bitcoin is calling" in his latest post. The staunch Bitcoin advocate has a history of audacious Bitcoin claims. Interestingly, he has backed his belief in the pioneering crypto asset with incessant acquisitions through the self-acclaimed Bitcoin Treasury firm, Strategy. While he has made several quotes about Bitcoin this week, such as comments that Bitcoin is like chess and 21 million (Bitcoin’s maximum supply) is the most important number in finance, his tweet today is sparking curiosity in the crypto community. “Bitcoin is Calling,” Saylor’s cryptic Thursday tweet said. Another Market Raid? While Saylor did not provide further context for the tweet, some reactions suggest he was referring to stacking more sats. Notably, the Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) executive chairman has been big on incessantly buying Bitcoin for the foreseeable future. Strategy recently bought 3,459 BTC ($285.8 million) on Monday, resuming its weekly acquisition after a one-week pause. This continued acquisition has persisted despite Bitcoin’s market uncertainty, which has resulted in all but two of its purchases since November 18 being in the red. Nonetheless, some believe Saylor's recent tweet suggests they could buy more, as the Strategy Chairman often makes such teasing remarks before another purchase. Furthermore, his tweet also called on his 4.2 million followers to answer the Bitcoin call and secure the asset, which he described as the future of money. Strategy Reaps from Bitcoin Bet Meanwhile, this post follows a Wednesday disclosure revealing Strategy’s stock performance compared to companies he described as the “Magnificent 7.” He noted that Bitcoin is the strategy to outperform them, evident in MSTR’s impressive 133% one-year returns. This figure trounces that of Elon Musk’s Tesla (57%) and chipmaker NVIDIA (30%). MSTR has also outperformed Apple (17%), Meta (4%), and Alphabet (2%). Notably, other prominent firms like Amazon and Microsoft have incurred 2% and 7% declines in the same timeframe, establishing the reward of Strategy’s potent bet on Bitcoin.

Other Bullish Saylor Bitcoin Comments The Strategy executive chairman has recently been in the news for other pro-Bitcoin comments. Two weeks ago, he stated that Bitcoin’s volatility reflects its usefulness. In response to a reference to Bitcoin’s correlation with risk-on assets, Saylor noted that it is because it is the most liquid, salable, and accessible asset on the planet. Moreover, a day before the comment, Saylor had reinforced Bitcoin’s uniqueness among other commodities by stating there is no tariff on the asset. The statement highlighted Bitcoin’s digital and liquid features as a major part of its decentralized nature.
