The Bitcoin ecosystem is being overrun by a wave of layer-2 solutions that are 
not scaling Bitcoin at all; they are attempting to extract from it.

Bitcoin layer-2s keep failing because they’re not real L2s | Opinion

Michael Saylor’s latest message is blunt and direct: “Go Bitcoin today — the 
money won’t fix itself.” He’s pressing an idea he has pushed for years — that 
holding Bitcoin is a deliberate choice against the slow decline of fiat money 
— and his firm’s actions back up the words. Bitcoin sits below Saylor’s firm’s 
average purchase price, yet buying has continued. Related Reading: Calm Down: 
Ethereum Has Survived 8 Major 50% Falls, Lee Reminds Investors Strategy’s 
Massive Position According to reports, Strategy now holds 714,644 BTC. The 
average cost of that stash is listed at $76,056 per coin. Recent filings show 
another 1,142 BTC was bought this month at about $78,815 each, a purchase that 
amounted to roughly $90 million. At today’s trading levels near $68,000, the 
position shows an estimated unrealized loss of close to $6 billion, while the 
reported book value of holdings tops $54 billion after nearly six years of 
steady accumulation. Go bitcoin today. The money won&#8217;t fix itself. — Michael 
Saylor (@saylor) February 13, 2026 Public companies together are reported to 
hold about 1.13 million BTC, and Strategy makes up almost two-thirds of that 
total. Reports note that close to 200 public firms hold some Bitcoin, though 
most of the new buying in January was concentrated in a very small group. One 
company leads the herd by a large margin. High-Conviction Buying Saylor’s 
message isn’t just rhetoric. Reports have disclosed that Strategy follows a 
long-range plan that includes a seven-year road map disclosed in its Q4 2025 
filings, which aims to raise Bitcoin per share by 2032 based on various yield 
scenarios. The firm’s playbook is simple: buy on dips and avoid selling. The 
mantra is repeated: buy Bitcoin and do not sell. That posture has 
consequences. Some see it as a show of commitment that can encourage other 
firms and big investors to act similarly. Others view the heavy concentration 
of corporate exposure as a source of market fragility — if Strategy were to 
change course unexpectedly, prices could shift fast. Liquidity matters. That 
risk is understated when the focus is only on conviction. Related Reading: XRP 
Set To Dethrone Bitcoin Within 6 Years, Entrepreneur Says Market Impact And 
Criticism Reports say the firm’s buying has been so large that it dominated 
corporate additions in January, accounting for more than 90% of net new 
corporate Bitcoin purchases that month. That level of dominance brings 
scrutiny. Questions have been raised about governance, balance sheet risk, and 
what long-term holding means for shareholders who expect stable returns. Some 
critics argue that a company piling into a volatile asset creates a mismatch 
with traditional corporate responsibilities. At the same time, supporters 
argue that patient ownership of Bitcoin can protect against long-term currency 
erosion. This is the case Saylor makes: losses on paper are temporary if the 
thesis holds, and time is an ally for those convinced of Bitcoin’s store-of- 
value case. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView
