Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy May Reveal More Bitcoin Buy Next Week

MicroStrategy’s executive chairman Michael Saylor entered into a stock-sale agreement with the company last year to sell up to 400,000 shares in the first four months of 2024. With 90% of the sales completed to make $370 million profit before Bitcoin halving, will Michael Saylor sell the rest of MSTR shares for Bitcoin?

Moreover, MicroStrategy hasn’t bought the dip in Bitcoin price yet and an announcement is most likely before Bitcoin price confirms a reversal for a new all-time high.

Michael Saylor to Sell More MicroStrategy Shares?

MicroStrategy founder and executive chairman Michael Saylor has pocketed $370 million from MicroStrategy stock sale. As per the stock-sale agreement, Bitcoin evangelist Saylor can sell up to 400,000 shares in the first four months of 2024.

However, Michael Saylor has sold only 90% of shares in the plan, with 10% of stocks still left to sell as per the stock-sale agreement. Saylor’s Class A holdings of MicroStrategy shares are down 30,000 shares after the latest sale disclosed on Thursday. He sold MSTR shares worth $3,023,309 with sales prices for these shares between $1,189.12 and $1,258.05, as per a filing with the U.S. SEC.

The increase in Bitcoin price in anticipation of spot Bitcoin ETFs and Bitcoin halving helped MicroStrategy stock price to rally nearly 100% since the start of the year. There are high odds of Michael Saylor selling MSTR sales and MicroStrategy announcing further Bitcoin buying next week. The company has been raising funds to buy Bitcoin and MicroStrategy prefers the dip.
