Michael Saylor teases another MicroStrategy Bitcoin buy after $1.25B purchase Michael Saylor has dropped another cheeky hint that MicroStrategy may be preparing to add more Bitcoin to its corporate treasury — a little over a week after the company made a blockbuster purchase of 13,627 BTC. On Sunday, the MicroStrategy chairman posted the words “Bigger Orange” to X alongside a screenshot from StrategyTracker showing the timing of the firm’s Bitcoin purchases. Orange, long used as a visual shorthand for Bitcoin, has become a recurring motif in Saylor’s social posts. Market watchers often interpret these cryptic teases as advance signals of imminent buys; in the past MicroStrategy has confirmed acquisitions that followed similar hints. MicroStrategy’s buying pace has remained aggressive heading into 2026. On Jan. 4 the firm acquired 1,283 BTC for $115.97 million, and on Jan. 11 it purchased 13,627 BTC for roughly $1.25 billion. At an average acquisition price of $75,353 per coin, MicroStrategy’s total holdings now stand at 687,410 BTC — about 3.27% of the 21 million maximum Bitcoin supply. That crypto-first strategy, however, has not protected shareholders from pain. MicroStrategy shares closed at $173.71 on Jan. 16 after tumbling more than 52% over the past 12 months. Investor concerns peaked in late 2025 as the company leaned on short-term financing — including convertible notes — to fund its Bitcoin accumulation. MicroStrategy briefly paused purchases in late December and issued new equity to strengthen cash reserves. The firm also weathered a potential index-related headwind when MSCI signaled it might exclude heavily Bitcoin-exposed companies from certain indexes; those plans were later shelved. Together, these developments eased some investor fears and moved the stock away from a year-to-date low near $150, which analysts at crypto.news flagged as a key support level whose breach could have signaled deeper losses. Bitcoin itself remains below the psychological six-figure threshold, so MicroStrategy is not entirely out of the woods. Still, Saylor has repeatedly maintained that the company can tolerate significant market volatility in pursuit of its long-term Bitcoin strategy. Given his recent “Bigger Orange” post and the firm’s history, traders and investors will be watching closely for a confirmation of another sizable acquisition.
