What to know:
- “Thinking about buying more bitcoin,” tweeted Strategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor on Thursday morning.
- Weekly BTC purchases are no surprise for the company, but Saylor typically limits his cheeky X posts regarding acquisitions to the weekend.
As bitcoin consolidates below the $90,000 level following its plunge this week, Strategy (MSTR) Executive Chairman Michael Saylor indicated there’s going to be no let-up in the company’s acquisition of the world's leading crypto.
“Thinking about buying more bitcoin," wrote Saylor in an X post Thursday morning.

It’s not really news that Strategy will continue to add to its BTC stack, as it has done nearly every week for many months. Indeed, the company, just in the past two weeks, has purchased roughly $3.4 billion of bitcoin, raising funds from a combination of common and preferred stock sales. The company's stack as of Monday stood at 709,715 coins worth more than $60 billion.
Coming mid-week, though, the timing of the post is interesting. For months, Saylor has typically previewed his company’s purchases with a weekend tweet referencing orange dots, signaling a Monday announcement of a fresh BTC acquisition.
MSTR shares are lower by 1.4% on Thursday as bitcoin holds on just above the $89,000 level.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
