Strategy didn't buy any Bitcoin this week, breaking a four-week streak of steady accumulation. Michael Saylor confirmed the pause via his 'Orange Dots' chart on X, posting: 'No buys this week. Back to work next week.' The move comes after last Monday's purchase dropped 90% — from $2.54 billion on April 20 to just $255 million.
Saylor's 'No Buys' Post
Saylor's X update was brief and blunt. The chart he shared showed no orange dot for the current week, a visual signal his followers have come to watch. There was no explanation for the pause, just a promise to resume next week. The post drew the usual mix of jokes and speculation, but no official statement from the company.
Holdings and Cost Basis
Strategy still holds 818,334 BTC, acquired at an average cost of $75,537 per coin. At current prices, that stash is worth roughly $64.44 billion. The company has been the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin for years, and this pause is the first break in a month-long buying spree that had been accelerating in size.
Market Reaction
Bitcoin price held steady around $78,590, up 0.28% on the day. Analysts pointed to support at $75,000 and resistance near $79,000. Breaking above $79,000 could push Bitcoin to $86,000–$88,000, with the next ceiling at $92,000–$94,000. But for now, the market seemed to shrug off Strategy's pause — no sharp drop, no sudden spike.
Saylor said 'Back to work next week.' That suggests purchases could resume as early as Monday. The big question is whether the company returns to the billion-dollar pace or keeps buying smaller. Given last week's 90% drop, the timing of this pause isn't great for bulls hoping for a continued buying frenzy. But for now, the market is waiting.
