Strategy Signals Another Bitcoin Buy as STRC Trades Below $100 Par

Michael Saylor’s latest “Orange Dots” post revived expectations of another Strategy Bitcoin purchase as investors scrutinize STRC’s sub-par trading, funding costs, and demand for its Bitcoin-financing instrument.

Fact Check
The official source "Bitcoin Purchases - Strategy" confirms that Strategy does make repeated bitcoin purchases, and "Yahoo Finance" specifically describes a pattern where Michael Saylor's Sunday X post precedes a subsequent purchase announcement. That makes the claim plausible. However, the exact X post referenced in the claim was not directly retrievable or verifiable in this run, so I cannot confirm that this specific brief social-media message in fact signaled another purchase. The third source provides contextual background about the company's bitcoin acquisition strategy but does not validate the specific claim.

Summary

Michael Saylor signaled a possible new Bitcoin purchase by posting Strategy’s recurring “Orange Dots” chart on X with the message “The Beat Goes On,” a pattern market watchers often interpret as a precursor to an acquisition announcement rather than proof of a completed transaction. The signal comes as Strategy’s STRC preferred equity instrument trades below its $100 par value, raising questions about the sustainability of the company’s Bitcoin-financing model. According to the source, STRC offers a monthly payout with an 11.5% annual return and the capital raised is used to buy more Bitcoin. Saturn, described as a STRC-backed yield provider, invested $18 million in STRC, bringing its total investment to $33 million. Strategy holds more than 815,000 Bitcoin and last Monday announced a $2.54 billion purchase, reinforcing its position as the largest corporate Bitcoin holder. The report also notes criticism from Peter Schiff, who called STRC “the most obvious Ponzi that has ever existed,” while Strategy has not publicly responded.
