Bitcoin Trapped in a Pressure Cooker: $72K Breakout or $59.9K Breakdown?

Michael Saylor kept buying while the market slid, and he did it out loud: 
&#8220;Neven been more bullish,&#8221; he said in an X post Thursday. His public posts and 
regulatory filings show Strategy continued to add to its Bitcoin pile even as 
price swings turned paper gains into big unrealized losses. Related Reading: 
Bitcoin’s Record Red Month May Be Setting Up A Reversal: Analysts The firm’s 
recent regulatory filing confirms a fresh purchase this month, while market 
reports and accounting disclosures show the wider hit to corporate treasuries. 
Market Value Drop Shakes Portfolios Bitcoin has shed roughly $1.2 trillion of 
market value since October 2025, and the wider crypto market has lost about $2 
trillion in the same stretch. Prices that once pushed Bitcoin past $126,000 
have fallen back toward the mid-$60,000s. That scale of decline has pushed 
several companies that used Bitcoin as a treasury asset into heavy mark-to- 
market losses, changing how investors view corporate crypto exposure. Never

Buying According to the company’s own filings, Strategy acquired 2,486 BTC for 
roughly $168 million during mid-February, bringing its holdings above 700k 
coins. The buy was announced in a Form 8-K and has been picked up across 
market outlets. At the same time, accounting rules that require unrealized 
gains and losses to be reflected in reports mean the firm’s quarterly 
statements showed multibillion-dollar swings tied to Bitcoin’s price. That 
reality has put Strategy on the front lines of the debate over holding large 
crypto positions on balance sheets. Price Action And Headlines Moved Markets 
Bitcoin’s trading has been choppy. Headlines tied to geopolitics and macro 
policy moved traders, and low-volume sessions made swings feel bigger. ETF 
outflows and a string of liquidations amplified the slide. Still, there were 
moments when buyers stepped in and pushed prices up briefly; those 
countermoves have been picked over by analysts hunting for a bottom. Image: 
Wall Street Pit Bullish Voices, Loud And Public Eric Trump — speaking at an 
event at Mar-a-Lago — made a very bullish prediction that was reposted and

Michael Saylor (@saylor) February 13, 2026 Saylor reposted and echoed similar 
buy-the-dip messages, urging accumulation even as skeptics warned about the 
risks. At times political headlines tied to US President Donald Trump and 
related policy moves were singled out as part of the story behind the 2025 
rally that preceded this correction. Related Reading: XRP On The Spotlight As
