Michael Saylor transformed MicroStrategy from a business intelligence firm into the world's largest corporate Bitcoin holder. Saylor's conviction redefined corporate strategy, turning volatility into opportunity through long-term, dollar-cost averaging purchases. His approach set the standard for institutional Bitcoin adoption despite concerns over dilution and debt. Saylor's playbook highlights research, perseverance, risk control and long-term thinking in Bitcoin investing. In August 2020, Michael Saylor transformed from a technology executive into a symbol of corporate crypto adoption.
Bitcoin was stable above USD 114,000 on Thursday, and is consolidating after Wednesday's advance was sparked by a surprise decline in US producer prices. The PPI fell 0.1% in August, its first drop in four months, reinforcing expectations of easing inflationary pressures. Attention now turns to the CPI data due later today, with markets braced for a reading of 0.3%. A softer outcome could fuel speculation of a higher probability for a 50bp rate cut at the Fed's meeting later this month, providing a further boost to risky assets.
The bitcoin price has left many investors puzzled in recent weeks. Despite significant accumulation by institutions and treasury companies, the bitcoin price has remained stuck in sideways action. Is this the result of "paper Bitcoin," or are we simply witnessing the push and pull of supply and demand? In my latest video analysis, Paper Bitcoin Ruining The Bitcoin Bull Market, I dig into on-chain data, treasury holdings, and derivatives activity to separate fact from conspiracy and explain what's really driving the bitcoin price.
"For too long, investing in Bitcoin has felt like an exclusive club, out of reach for the general public with very high transaction costs," Haji-Ioannou told in an interview. "This isn't just about technology; it's about financial empowerment and making Bitcoin a practical investment option for all."
At present, $107,000 is the most important line of defense for Bitcoin Price. A breakdown below there would shift the focus to lower support zones at $105,000, $102,500, and potentially $96,000. On the upside, $112,500 is the first resistance that needs to flip into support. If bulls manage to close the daily above that level, the next target is $115,500. Beyond there lies $118,000 - a formidable barrier that would need a weekly close to confirm a renewed uptrend.
The YieldMax MSTR Option Income Strategy ETF (NYSEARCA:MSTY) has been a falling knife of sorts so far this year, now with a year-to-date loss of 44%. Undoubtedly, the stock chart doesn't look all too great, but with one of the largest distribution rates out there, currently sitting just over 92%, some brave dip-buyers who buy into the strategy may wish to keep on buying up the shares as prices continue to sink lower.
When Arianna Simpson was 22 years old, she plowed her savings into Bitcoin. She had left her college job and traveled with a friend through Zimbabwe, witnessing firsthand the consequences of hyperinflation. When she returned, she became enamored with the idea of crypto as a potential salve. Aside from investing the contents of her bank account, Simpson started a blockchain lunch meetup at her next post, Facebook. She wrote a blog post on multisignature wallets that landed her a job at the infrastructure startup BitGo,
Bitcoin is a financial tool born of code and cryptography. But seen in a wider frame, it belongs to a cultural lineage more than a century old. Since the 1910s, avant-garde movements have probed questions that later became central to Bitcoin: Who decides value? Can rules replace rulers? How do systems record time, distribute trust or resist authority? Far from appearing out of nowhere in 2009, Bitcoin crystallized ideas that had long circulated in artistic experiments.
Adam Curry is the modern-day Prometheus. His discovery of podcasting and sharing it with the world was as significant of a development as when Prometheus stole fire from the gods to give to humans. Podcasting has quickly evolved into one of the most popular ways to communicate valuable information, completely disintermediating the CIA-controlled media apparatus. While Bitcoin seeks to separate money and state, podcasting seeks to separate syndicated news organizations and information.
On the contrary, Bitcoin, being a scarce asset, which tends to appreciate over time by cyclically cutting its issuance until the maximum limit of 21 million, is proving to reduce the time preference. As it appreciates over time, small savings in the present can generate significant future benefits, thus increasing the propensity to save and plan for the future. This simple fact has profound implications at a social level, because it reflects in greater investment in education, deeper human relationships or greater care for the environment.
Bitcoin eased back toward USD 110,000 on Thursday, pausing after three strong sessions supported by heavy ETF inflows. US spot funds added USD 300 million on Wednesday following USD 330 million the previous day. Market liquidations over 24 hours were balanced, reflecting cautious positioning ahead of US labour market data. Today's ADP report is expected to show a 65,000 increase in jobs, down sharply from 104,000 last month, following weaker JOLTs data earlier in the week.
Bitcoin closed the month of August with a disappointing week for the bulls. After making a new all-time high in mid-August at just over $124,000, bitcoin has put in three red candle closes in a row on the weekly chart. This past week's candle closed down near the lows, swinging momentum clearly over to the bears. The MACD oscillator confirmed a bearish cross on the weekly close as well, which should help maintain downward pressure entering this week.
Strategy has acquired an additional 4,048 Bitcoin worth approximately $449.3 million at an average Bitcoin price of $110,981 per BTC, according to a Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 2, 2025. The company's total Bitcoin holdings now stand at 636,505 BTC, purchased at an aggregate price of $46.95 billion. The latest purchase was funded through multiple at-the-market (ATM) offering programs, including proceeds from the company's STRF, STRK, STRD, and MSTR ATMs.
The labour market functions as a crucial intermediary in the monetary policy transmission mechanism: it reflects both the health of economic growth and the degree of inflationary pressure. A scenario in which job growth remains moderate, unemployment rises slightly, and wages remain stable would reinforce expectations that the Federal Reserve will enter an easing cycle, thereby improving global liquidity conditions and supporting Bitcoin.
It's been a banner year, so far, for cryptocurrency enthusiasts worldwide. Bitcoin ( CRYPTO:BTC), the world's most popular cryptocurrency, touched an all-time high of $124,457.12 in mid-August before pulling back to around $110,000 in the month's final trading days. With that, Bitcoin was up by 20% (give or take a few percentage points) at the end of August. That's an impressive year-to-date performance, and some commentators are bracing for even higher Bitcoin prices.
Cryptocurrency traders have observed activity this week from a Bitcoin "whale" - someone holding a huge position in a given coin - that on its own might be enough to move markets. When a whale moves their assets around, the size of the trade can send a coin up or down and spook onlookers, who might be inclined to follow suit.
"There's no question bitcoin hits $1 million," Eric Trump declared during a panel discussion with David Bailey, citing surging institutional demand and its limited supply as key drivers for the astronomical price target. The Bitcoin price currently trades around $110,000, having risen 18% this year, but still remains well below Trump's ambitious forecast. Eric Trump's appearance at the two-day Hong Kong event, which attracted more than 20,000 attendees-triple last year's numbers-highlighted the growing global influence of the Bitcoin industry and the Trump family's deepening involvement in it.
Michael Saylor's once-celebrated Bitcoin experiment is mired in a market backlash, raising questions about the sustainability of the corporate-treasury model he pioneered. Shares of Strategy Inc., formerly MicroStrategy, have fallen 15% this month, erasing much of the premium the firm long enjoyed over its Bitcoin holdings. The company, long a bellwether for crypto sentiment, is now drawing fresh skepticism. At the center of the concern is the firm's financing tactics.
