Key Takeaways:
- Michael Saylor hints at another MicroStrategy Bitcoin purchase, pushing BTC holdings closer to 600K, despite Bitcoin’s sharp decline to $101K during the US-Iran conflict.
- MicroStrategy eyes breaking its 12-week Bitcoin buying streak record, undeterred by a $300B crypto market cap drop and rising geopolitical tensions.
With the US-Iran conflict intensifying, Michael Saylor is once again signaling another large Bitcoin purchase. The MicroStrategy founder posted an update of the company’s Bitcoin portfolio tracker on X — a signature move he’s made just before announcing past BTC buys.

Market watchers now expect a purchase within 24 hours, which would continue MicroStrategy’s remarkable 10-week Bitcoin buying streak. The firm currently holds 592,100 BTC worth $60.85 billion at today’s prices. A projected 7,900 BTC acquisition would push the total past 600,000 BTC — a major milestone.
Last week, MicroStrategy added 10,100 BTC for $1.05 billion. The firm’s current streak is approaching its longest-ever 12-week buying run, with expectations high that Saylor’s strategy will break that record soon, thanks to the firm’s ample resources and capital-raising capability.
Bitcoin Dips to $101K as Markets React to Middle East Tensions
The looming buy signal comes as the crypto market reels from the fallout of US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Bitcoin fell sharply to $101K and at time of press trades around $98,977.90 for the first time in over a month.
The market downturn has erased over $300 billion in crypto market cap. Yet Saylor remains bullish, predicting Bitcoin could hit $21 million per BTC by 2046 — with others like Arthur Hayes and Robert Kiyosaki projecting $1 million BTC in the near term.

While institutional buyers like MicroStrategy are helping to support the market, it remains to be seen if this momentum will continue as geopolitical uncertainty keeps volatility elevated.
