Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of MicroStrategy, has set the cryptocurrency community abuzz with a cryptic tweet prior to President-elect Donald Trump’s swearing-in, “Things will be different on Inauguration Day,”
Saylor wrote on Sunday along with an image from SaylorTracker, a tracker of MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin holdings. This statement has sparked speculation about another Bitcoin acquisition by the said company.
An Accumulation History Of Bitcoin
Microstrategy —currently the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, owns approximately 450,000 BTC. The company has also pursued an aggressive acquisition strategy — especially in the past two months — with notable purchases including:
9 December: 21550 BTC @ 98,783/ BTC ( Total of $ 2.1 billion)
– December 16: 15,350 BTC at $100,386 per BTC ($1.5 billion total)
— January 13: 2,530 BTC at $95,972 per BTC ($243 million total)
These trades have brought a total unrealized gain of 67.7%, equating to paper profits of more than $19 billion. As such, not only has MicroStrategy increased its Bitcoin reserves by this strategy but as the Bitcoin price is hovering above $106,000, it also strengthens its role as the leading corporate buccaneer of BTC.
Hype Around Inauguration and Positive Sentiments for Crypto
Saylor’s tweet is also timely, coming on the inauguration day of Donald Trump, who have recently made cryptocurrency his friend. Attending the “Crypto Ball” on January 17, Saylor mingled with the biggest names of the crypto mining industry, including MARA Holdings CEO Fred Thiel and the company’s Vice President of Investor Relations Robert Samuels.
“Our team met with the entire incoming cabinet of the Trump Administration in partnership with [Saylor]. We are enthusiastic about the future of the mining sector for the US,”
stated Samuels. These executive orders allow the new administration to give orders quickly to favor cryptocurrency and may result in a national Bitcoin reserve and a crypto advisory council. Such measures could have an impact on the direction of the industry in the U.S.
Indications Towards Another Purchase?
Saylor’s latest tweets have been very much linked to MicroStrategy buying. One post on January 12 preceded a major 2,530 BTC acquisition the next day. Observers now wonder if Sunday’s message is a sign of another purchase going forward.
The company’s answer to the Bitcoin question—accumulating Bitcoin as part of the company’s corporate treasury—has been wildly successful. Most purchases made since December of 2024 have returned between 7.35% and 11.18%. This stable profitability serves to cement Saylor’s reputation as heading to push even harder on his Bitcoin bet, using present market conditions to accumulate even more Bitcoin within MicroStrategy.
A Crypto-Positive Future Under Trump?
Trump’s return to the White House has crypto watchers closely, given his administration’s strong backing of digital assets. Speculative, such as executive orders on preferential cryptocurrency, has begun launching a new era of regulatory clarity and institutional adoption within the US.
This change was already having a ripple effect on the market. Bitcoin’s rise to $100,000 is a positive sign for confidence, and the minting of $TRUMP, a meme coin achieving a $9 billion market cap, shows growing interest in crypto projects.
MicroStrategy’s Strategic Moment
As Bitcoin prices rebound and a crypto-friendly administration takes power, MicroStrategy is primed to benefit from both trends. Should Saylor’s tweet prophesy yet another massive buy order, it would serve to strengthen the company’s grip on cryptocurrency going forward.
With both industry stakeholders and investors watching to see how events may unfold next, there’s one thing for certain: MicroStrategy’s strident approach to Bitcoin remains a significant factor in its growing contribution to a narrative around corporate adoption, illustrating a greater alignment between institutional strategies and the widening landscape of digital assets.
