What It Means for Bitcoin’s Next Move

Saylor has long been one of the most vocal proponents of bitcoin, positioning it not only as a hedge against inflation but also as the digital equivalent of gold. With more than 638,000 BTC under management. Strategy is the largest corporate holder of bitcoin by a wide margin.

The timing of the latest buy—above $111,000 per coin—shows confidence that bitcoin’s price has more room to run. Some analysts argue that these bold purchases reflect expectations of new all-time highs in the near future, as institutional demand and scarcity dynamics continue to support the market.
