MicroStrategy (Strategy Inc.) & Michael Saylor: Bullish Bitcoin Bonanza! 🚀

Bitcoin Acquisitions: MicroStrategy (now rebranded as Strategy Inc.) has been on a Bitcoin-buying tear.  Just in late July–August 2025, the company made record purchases: it acquired 21,021 BTC (~$2.46B) from July 28–Aug 3 , then bought another 430 BTC (~$51.4M) (Aug 11–17) and 3,081 BTC (~$356.9M) (Aug 18–24) .  These buys were funded by freshly raised capital (new preferred stock ATMs and offerings), and have pushed MicroStrategy’s stash to a whopping ~632,500 BTC (aggregate cost ~ $46.5B) by late August.  This relentless accumulation (largest corporate BTC wallet) is rigorously documented in SEC filings .

Business & Financial Highlights:  MicroStrategy’s Q2 2025 results (announced July 31) were spectacular, powered by Bitcoin gains .  The company reported $10.0 B net income (versus a loss a year ago), translating to $32.60 diluted EPS, on $114.5 M revenue .  Operating income was $14.0B (virtually all unrealized BTC gains) .  Strategy raised full-year guidance sharply (FY2025: $34 B op. income, $24 B net income, $80 EPS, assuming $150K/bitcoin year-end) .  CEO Phong Le enthused that Strategy expanded its bitcoin hoard to 628.8K BTC and “raised over $10 B through our ATM programs and IPOs,” lifting Bitcoin-per-share by 25% YTD .  The company achieved a 25.0% YTD Bitcoin yield (13.2B$ gain YTD) and bumped full-year BTC yield target to 30% ($20B gain) .

Crucially, Strategy introduced innovative capital tools.  In July, it priced the world’s first “Treasury Preferred Stock” (STRC) to fund BTC buying, issuing 28M shares at $90 each .  Executive Chairman Michael Saylor celebrated this, calling STRC a “short-duration, high-yield credit instrument… engineered to extend the reach of the Bitcoin economy” .  In short, MicroStrategy’s fundamentals are rock-solid and aggressively tilted towards accumulating Bitcoin.

Michael Saylor’s Bold Stance:  Michael Saylor continues to champion Bitcoin with unshakeable optimism.  On Strategy’s 5-year Bitcoin anniversary (Aug 11), he quipped: “If you don’t stop buying Bitcoin, you won’t stop making money” on Twitter .  He even doubled down on his signature price prediction, forecasting that BTC will hit $21 million within 21 years .  In key regulatory filings, Saylor outlined a new equity-strategy framework tied to MSTR’s market NAV (mNAV): below 2.5× mNAV, Strategy will issue shares tactically (to pay interest/dividends), between 2.5×–4.0× mNAV it will opportunistically issue shares to buy more Bitcoin, and above 4.0× mNAV it will actively issue shares to bulk up the bitcoin stack .  These bold capital-management rules cement that every bullish range is a green light to buy more BTC.  (Saylor remains a frequent guest on crypto media; e.g. CNBC Squawk Box and Bitcoin conferences, spreading this message.)

Stock Performance & Sentiment:  MSTR stock has been a rollercoaster.  Over the past year it rocketed (~+153% YTD) on the BTC bull run .  However, in Aug 2025 the tide turned: shares sold off as dilution fears and sentiment soured.  The stock fell about 7% on Aug 19 (to ~$336) when Saylor unexpectedly broke his no-dilution pledge (sparking an investor backlash) .  By late August, MSTR was down roughly 15% on the month, erasing much of the premium it once enjoyed over its bitcoin stash .

Investor frustration has been vocal.  Longtime MSTR bulls bailed: prominent backer Josh Mandell publicly unloaded his shares, calling Saylor’s pivot “dishonest” and vowing no longer to support his strategy .  Others (even Ripple CTO David Schwartz) warned of the risks of an aggressive buy-heavy approach .  Even institutional holders are trimming: Vanguard cut its stake by ~10% in Q2 .  In technical terms, analysts note MSTR just broke key support and risks falling toward ~$300 .  In short, investor sentiment has swung cautious, with the stock reflecting tightening crypto multiples and dilution worries.

Summary: High-Energy, Next-Level Strategy!

MicroStrategy/Strategy Inc. is doubly bullish – on business and Bitcoin.  Its blockbuster Q2 results and hefty guidance show core strength , while its epic BTC buys (already ~632K coins!) underscore a near-fanatical hunger for Bitcoin .  Michael Saylor continues to inspire (and rally the faithful) with bold soundbites and price targets .  Yes, the stock has recently rattled, but remember: “big swings come with big gains” in this game.  With fresh capital programs (STRK/STRF/STRD/STRC ATMs) and a clear playbook (equity issuance tied to mNAV ), Strategy is primed to thrive if Bitcoin’s bull run persists.

Bottom Line: Investors and employees alike see Saylor’s vision – a Bitcoin-powered treasury juggernaut – as both audacious and potentially game-changing.  With 632K BTC under its belt and a hyper-growth mindset, Strategy is betting big that the crypto euphoria has only begun.  Onward and upward! 💪📈
