Michael Saylor, the Executive Chairman of MicroStrategy, has once again signaled his unwavering bullish stance on Bitcoin, hinting at the possibility of further corporate purchases. In a statement on January 22, 2026, Saylor reaffirmed his belief in Bitcoin as the premier digital store of value, suggesting that MicroStrategy may continue its aggressive accumulation strategy.
This declaration comes amidst a period of significant market volatility, with Bitcoin's price experiencing a sharp drop to around $89,300 before a brief recovery attempt. Saylor's public comment, stating he was "thinking about buying more bitcoin," was interpreted by some as a potential signal of a market bottom. However, the subsequent price action saw BTC retreat back below $89,200, erasing the short-lived optimism and highlighting the current pressure on buyers.
MicroStrategy remains the world's largest corporate Bitcoin holder, with a staggering treasury of 709,715 BTC valued at approximately $63.52 billion as of January 20. The company's average purchase price is $75,974 per Bitcoin, leaving it with an unrealized profit of about 17.8% even after the recent price decline. Notably, the firm added 22,305 BTC to its holdings just two days prior to Saylor's latest comments.
Saylor's strategy has positioned MicroStrategy at the forefront of institutional Bitcoin adoption, a trend that has gained momentum following the approval of Bitcoin spot ETFs. He views Bitcoin's limited supply and growing institutional acceptance as key drivers for its long-term value appreciation. While his latest statement did not trigger a sustained market rally this time, it underscores the company's commitment to its Bitcoin-centric corporate strategy and could influence other institutional players considering further accumulation in 2026.
