Michael Saylor is the executive chairman of Strategy and the most public face of corporate Bitcoin adoption. His decision in 2020 to convert the company’s treasury into Bitcoin reshaped how public companies think about reserve assets, and his playbook has been copied by Metaplanet, Semler Scientific, and a growing list of smaller firms across Asia and Europe. The coverage here tracks what matters: Strategy’s Bitcoin buying decisions announced through Saylor on earnings calls and X, the financing innovations like STRC and the convertible note structure that made permanent BTC accumulation possible, his public positions on technical debates from quantum security to self-custody best practices, the Bitcoin price targets and macro thesis he repeats on every podcast and conference stage, and the regulatory and tax positions he takes in Washington and at industry events. Saylor moves markets when he speaks. A single tweet about quantum threats being marketing rather than a real risk shifts sentiment for the rest of the day. His framing of Bitcoin as digital property, the story of the bottom at $60K, the case for digital credit as the next catalyst. Coinliva covers the buying decisions, the public statements, the conference appearances, and the broader question of whether the Saylor model holds up if Bitcoin enters a serious bear market with Strategy’s leverage stack still in place.
Saylor's company bought 13,927 BTC for $1 billion last week through its STRC program. The rally above $77,000 pushed Strategy's 780,897 BTC treasury back into unrealized profit for the first time since early April.
818,334 BTC. A $12.5 billion Q1 loss. An 11.5% dividend on preferred stock that needs to be paid somehow. Polymarket odds on a Bitcoin sale by year-end jumped from 10% to 82% in one week.
Speaking at a Mizuho event on April 8, 2026, Michael Saylor laid out three positions: the bottom is already in, quantum computing is a distraction, and the next Bitcoin bull run will be built on credit — not sentiment.
The proposal would double dividend frequency from monthly to 24 payments per year. STRC's 11.5% annualized rate and $1.1 billion daily volume make it the engine behind Strategy's Bitcoin accumulation.
Strategy added 34,164 BTC in its third-largest purchase ever. Bitmine bought 101,627 ETH in its biggest week since December. Together, they deployed $2.8 billion in a single week while most treasury firms stayed on the sidelines.
Strategy added 34,164 BTC in a single week, pushing its stack to 815,061 coins. Only Satoshi Nakamoto holds more.
