Bitcoin News Today: MicroStrategy Hints at Third Bitcoin Purchase in August as Saylor Signals Strategic Buy-In

Michael Saylor, co-founder and executive chairman of MicroStrategy, has once again hinted at the possibility of another Bitcoin purchase for the company, reinforcing the firm’s reputation as one of the largest institutional holders of the cryptocurrency. If confirmed, the acquisition would mark the company’s third Bitcoin purchase in August, further solidifying its strategic commitment to the digital asset [1]. The potential buy-in comes as Bitcoin trades within a narrow range, with no significant inflows into Bitcoin ETFs observed over the previous weekend. Saylor posted on X that “Bitcoin is on Sale,” accompanied by a visual showing recent BTC additions, a message that aligns with the firm’s historical pattern of making large-scale purchases during perceived market dips [1].

MicroStrategy’s current Bitcoin holdings amount to 629,376 BTC, valued at approximately $72.3 billion, with unrealized profits reaching $25.9 billion. The firm has previously made large-scale purchases, including the acquisition of 585 BTC in August 2025, pushing its total holdings to record levels [5]. Saylor has consistently advocated for Bitcoin as a long-term corporate asset, predicting a 30% annual appreciation over the next two decades [4]. His ongoing efforts have helped shift the perception of Bitcoin from speculative asset to a legitimate store of value within institutional finance.

Despite the firm’s bullish stance, Bitcoin’s price has shown little movement, trading near $114,600 as of the latest report. The cryptocurrency remains below key resistance levels, including $117,800 and the upper Bollinger Band near $121,713. A sustained break above $117,800 could validate further upside potential, while a drop below $111,700 could extend downward pressure [1]. The market remains in a state of anticipation, waiting for confirmation of MicroStrategy’s next move, which could serve as a catalyst for a breakout in either direction.

According to MicroStrategy’s corporate treasurer, Shirish Jajodia, the firm’s Bitcoin purchases are made through over-the-counter transactions rather than public exchanges, minimizing direct impact on daily price movements. Jajodia explained that “Bitcoin’s daily trading volume is around $50 billion,” and “Buying $1 billion over a few days doesn’t have the kind of impact people imagine” [1]. He further noted that long-term corporate holders like MicroStrategy contribute to Bitcoin’s price floor by reducing circulating supply, even if their purchases do not immediately influence short-term volatility.

Saylor has previously spent approximately $46 billion to acquire MicroStrategy’s current Bitcoin holdings, averaging about $73,320 per Bitcoin [6]. If the firm were to purchase at current levels, it would reflect a strategic decision to take advantage of perceived favorable entry points. His repeated sharing of Bitcoin Tracker information and hints about potential updates to the company’s holdings reinforce this narrative [7].

The broader market context suggests that Bitcoin may be entering a phase of renewed institutional participation, with Saylor and MicroStrategy playing a pivotal role. Whether this leads to a sustained bullish trend or a temporary rally remains to be seen, but the signals from one of Bitcoin’s most prominent corporate champions are clear: the company is actively considering additional Bitcoin purchases as part of its long-term investment strategy [1].
