Story Highlights
  • Strategy CEO says the company remains committed to buying more Bitcoin despite recent BTC sales.

World’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder Strategy has no plans to slow down its Bitcoin buying. After surprising the market with a $216 million BTC sale, CEO Phong Le says the company is “not going anywhere.” 

While Michael Saylor’s latest post has sparked speculation that another massive Bitcoin buying could be announced today.

Strategy CEO Says More Bitcoin Buying Is Coming

Strategy President and CEO Phong Le has assured the investors that the company’s recent Bitcoin sale does not signal a change in its long-term strategy.

Speaking after Strategy sold 3,588 BTC worth about $216 million, Le said the transaction had little impact on the market.

“We sold about $200 million of Bitcoin, but it did not move the market. In fact, the market moved up during that period of time. So we’re not going anywhere.”

Le added that Strategy remains the largest identified corporate holder of Bitcoin and wants to continue expanding that position.

“We’re the largest identified holder of Bitcoin. My objective would be to be the largest buyer of Bitcoin for the foreseeable future. We’re not going anywhere.”

His comments come just days after many investors questioned whether Strategy had started reducing its Bitcoin exposure.

$3 Billion Cash Reserve Gives Strategy More Flexibility

Further, when asked why Strategy recently increased its cash reserves instead of immediately buying more Bitcoin.

Lee said it was built after preferred shareholders requested a stronger liquidity position.

“We accumulated $3 billion in cash because we listened to our preferred shareholders… Building up the U.S. dollar reserve was a big part of that.”

According to Le, Strategy remains financially comfortable and does not see debt becoming a concern unless Bitcoin falls much further.

“When Bitcoin gets down closer to $8,000 to $10,000, that’s when we have to consider some of the risks associated with our debt. Until that point in time, we feel very secure about the balance sheet.”

He also confirmed that once the company’s preferred shares recover, Strategy expects to issue more shares and continue buying Bitcoin.

Michael Saylor’s Post Sparks Bitcoin Buying Speculation

Adding to the excitement, Strategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor recently posted “What’s Next?” on X.

What's next?

— Michael Saylor (@saylor) July 19, 2026

The post included the company’s orange dot chart, which has historically appeared before major Bitcoin purchase announcements. Because of that pattern, many investors believe Strategy could soon announce another Bitcoin acquisition this week.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin is trading around $64,212, down slightly over the past 24 hours. From a technical perspective, analysts say BTC is approaching the breakout point of a W pattern on the daily chart. 

If confirmed, Bitcoin could rally toward $71,334, potentially creating another buying opportunity for Strategy.

Tonight, a "dovish rate hike"?

The Federal Reserve is almost certain to raise interest rates tonight, but the key issue is "what will be said after the hike." Citi characterizes this move as a "fine-tuning" adjustment, suggesting there is no inevitable future rate hike, yet warns that if Chairman Powell does not provide clear forward guidance, it will trigger significant market volatility. Goldman Sachs bluntly stated that there is insufficient economic foundation for this rate hike, with inflation being merely a one-off factor, and expects this to be a "signal-less rate hike."

JPMorgan: "Open source disruption" and "AI safety" are not issues, there is still room for capital expenditure in the next two years, semiconductor equipment will become the "new bottleneck"

JPMorgan believes that open-source models are not a threat, regulatory disruptions are only short-term, and cloud vendors’ leverage remains low—the fundamentals of computing power investment have not changed. It forecasts that the capital expenditure of the seven major tech giants will soar from $443 billion in 2025 to $1.577 trillion in 2027, with semiconductor equipment becoming the core bottleneck of the supply chain and a new round of price increases expected in wafer foundry and advanced packaging.
