‘We are buying’: Michael Saylor denies reports of Strategy dumping BTC
Strategy will add to its 640,000 Bitcoin holdings by continuing to buy amid a flash crash in BTC price, Michael Saylor said.
Michael Saylor, executive chair of Strategy, denied reports that the company was offloading some of its Bitcoin amid a flash crash in the cryptocurrency’s price.
In a Friday X post, Saylor said that there was “no truth” to a report claiming that Strategy reduced its overall Bitcoin (BTC) holdings by about 47,000 BTC, or $4.6 billion at the time of publication. Saylor said the company was continuing to buy Bitcoin as the price dropped by more than 4% in less than 24 hours, from more than $100,000 to less than $95,000.
“I think the volatility comes with the territory,” said Saylor in a Friday CNBC interview. “If you’re going to be a Bitcoin investor, you need a four-year time horizon and you need to be prepared to handle the volatility in this market.”
