Michael Saylor&#8217;s company has already lined up the money. Now the question is 
how much Bitcoin it plans to buy with it. Related Reading: Alibaba AI Model

Market Strategy&#8217;s executive chairman posted his well-known &#8220;Orange Dots&#8221; chart 
on X over the weekend, adding just three words: &#8220;Think even Bigger.&#8221; The chart 
maps every Bitcoin purchase the company has ever made. In crypto circles, its 
appearance has become a reliable preview of an imminent acquisition 
announcement — and Monday is the day Strategy most commonly makes those 
announcements public. The post landed after a string of major purchases. On 
April 13, Strategy spent $1 billion on Bitcoin. The week before that, it 
dropped $330 million. Both buying rounds were preceded by the same chart. This 
time, Saylor&#8217;s caption suggests the next move could top them both. A War Chest 
Already Sitting Ready The fuel for that purchase appears to already be in 
place. Strategy&#8217;s STRC instrument has raised enough capital to fund up to 
$1.76 billion in Bitcoin acquisitions, based on reports tracking the company&#8217;s 
fundraising activity. The company routinely uses proceeds from STRC to 
bankroll its Bitcoin buying program, so the timing of that capital raise lines 
up with the weekend post. At the time of writing, Strategy holds 780,897 
Bitcoin across its corporate treasury. The company&#8217;s average purchase price 
sits at $75,577 per coin. At current market prices, the entire stash is valued 
at roughly $58 billion — a figure that would shift significantly with any 
large new purchase. Bitcoin Price Holds Flat Despite The News The market has 
not moved much on Saylor&#8217;s hint. Bitcoin was trading around $75,500, down less 
than 1% in the 24 hours following the post. Geopolitical pressure has been a 
drag on price action, with US President Donald Trump accusing Iran of 
violating ceasefire terms — a development that has kept risk appetite subdued 
across financial markets. Related Reading: XRP Expansion Into Solana Sparks 
Fresh Demand, Ripple CEO Says One signal watched closely by analysts did break 
out over the weekend, though. Bitcoin Dominance — the share of total crypto 
market value held by Bitcoin — pushed above a key resistance level on the 
three-day chart, clearing a descending trendline it had been stuck under for 
some time. Reports from crypto analysts indicate that if the breakout holds, 
more capital could rotate into Bitcoin at the expense of smaller coins. For 
Strategy&#8217;s playbook, that kind of market shift would not be unwelcome.
