“No Basis to the Rumor: Michael Saylor Emphasizes His Aggressive Bitcoin Acquisition Strategy.”

Michael Saylor Rejects Bitcoin Sale Rumors, Affirms Commitment to Accumulation Strategy
November 14, 2025

In the midst of ongoing volatility in the cryptocurrency market, rumors circulated online that Strategy (MSTR) might be selling off some of its bitcoin holdings. However, Michael Saylor, the company’s Executive Chairman, swiftly shut down these claims during a Friday morning interview on CNBC.

“Ignore the noise,” Saylor advised, reinforcing the company’s dedication to its long-term bitcoin strategy.

Despite bitcoin (BTC) and Strategy’s stock facing significant declines, Saylor reaffirmed that the company remains focused on increasing its bitcoin holdings. “We are continuing to buy bitcoin, and we’ll report our next purchases on Monday,” he explained, adding that the company is “accelerating” its bitcoin acquisitions. He hinted that recent activity in the firm’s wallets would reflect this intensified purchasing strategy.

The speculation about a potential bitcoin sale arose from on-chain data showing BTC moving out of company-controlled wallets, coinciding with the drops in both bitcoin’s price and MSTR stock. This led some to believe that Strategy might be liquidating part of its bitcoin stash.

Following his CNBC appearance, Saylor took to X (formerly Twitter) to clarify: “There is no truth to this rumor,” he stated, further dispelling any doubts.

As for bitcoin’s recent decline, Saylor advised investors to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. He reminded them that bitcoin was trading in a range of $55,000 to $65,000 just a little over a year ago, and even with the current dip, it remains significantly higher than those levels. With bitcoin hovering around $95,000, Saylor noted that the cryptocurrency is still showing strong returns.

“We’ve established a solid support base at these levels,” he said, expressing confidence that bitcoin will recover from its current position.

On Friday morning, Strategy’s stock was down 4%, dipping below $200, which brings its year-to-date losses to nearly 35%. Bitcoin had also experienced a 5.8% drop over the previous 24 hours, trading at $96,200.

While the rumors about a bitcoin sale were not entirely baseless, given that Strategy now holds more than 641,000 BTC, valued at approximately $22.5 billion, the company’s market cap has fallen below that figure. This gap has driven Strategy’s market-to-net-asset value (mNAV) ratio below 1, suggesting the stock might be undervalued. As a result, some market observers speculated that selling off bitcoin could help stabilize the company’s finances.

However, Saylor’s statements make it clear that Strategy is sticking to its aggressive bitcoin acquisition strategy, with no intention to sell off a substantial portion of its holdings.
