After two days of unusual silence on social media, Michael Saylor, founder of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) and a prominent Bitcoin advocate, posted a message reaffirming his company's commitment to its Bitcoin strategy. The post came as Bitcoin's price broke below $60,000, causing Strategy's unrealized loss to balloon to $13 billion.
Saylor addressed the volatility directly: "Volatility tests every capital structure. The strategy remains committed to a focus on Bitcoin, disciplined capital allocation, credit quality, and long-term value creation. We are grateful to our investors and will continue to implement with transparency and determination." The statement was his first since June 24, 2026, prompting community speculation that even the famously vocal bull had been quieted by the downturn.
Strategy currently holds approximately 844,000 BTC, acquired at an average price of around $75,600. The downturn has pushed the paper loss to a staggering $13 billion — more than the entire market capitalization of Dogecoin (approximately $11.5 billion) and exceeding the individual market caps of other major cryptocurrencies such as Cardano, Monero, Chainlink, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Uniswap, and NEAR Protocol.
Despite the massive unrealized loss, Saylor's message emphasized a long-term perspective, thanking investors and underscoring discipline and transparency. The market will be watching closely to see if this unwavering stance helps stabilize sentiment around Bitcoin during this volatile period.
