Michael Saylor of Strategy hints at continuing to buy Bitcoin on Monday

In a move that caught the attention of the cryptocurrency community, Michael Saylor - co-founder of Strategy ( formerly known as MicroStrategy) - once again showed his unwavering determination to pursue Bitcoin. Last Sunday, Saylor posted the familiar weekly Bitcoin chart on the X (formerly known as Twitter) platform with the message "Death to the blue lines. Long live the green dots." With this statement, he clearly conveyed to his 4.1 million followers that the one-week pause in buying Bitcoin had officially ended, paving the way for a new buying spree expected to take place on Monday. Huge Bitcoin strategy category According to data from the SaylorTracker monitoring platform, Strategy currently owns 471,107 BTC, worth about $45.3 billion. This figure includes an additional 10,107 BTC executed on January 27 - just before the trading halt - affirming the company's Bitcoin accumulation strategy at the 'maximum' level in a volatile market. Brand Turning Point: From MicroStrategy to Strategy On 5/2, the company officially changed its name from MicroStrategy to Strategy, marking a significant turning point as it completely transforms itself in the direction of “Bitcoin-first”. Strategy's new logo prominently features Bitcoin's imprint, along with a primary color palette designed based on the theme of this digital currency. The company's marketing style now not only conveys the message about financial technology but also affirms a strong belief in the future of Bitcoin. Phong Le, CEO of Strategy, shared: "Bitcoin and artificial intelligence are two technologies that have the potential to transform life in the 21st century. Our new name reflects the global appeal and strong character of the business." Financial report Q4 2024: Positive efforts amidst the storm On the same day as the announcement of the new brand, Strategy also revealed its Q4 2024 financial report. While software revenue came in at $120.7 million — down 3% year-over-year — the company recorded a net loss of $640 million for the quarter. However, the bright spot of the reporting quarter was the "extremely aggressive" Bitcoin buying strategy with the addition of 218,887 BTC worth around $20.5 billion, making Q4 2024 the period with the strongest Bitcoin hoarding ever. Bitcoin Development Roadmap and Strategy for 2025 During the financial report briefing, Strategy has opened up a roadmap for the 'miracle' of Bitcoin in 2025. The company pointed out a series of driving forces that could boost the value of Bitcoin, including: Clear regulations in the US: Expected to create more trust for investors and encourage new capital inflows. Strong political support for digital assets: Support policies can expand investment in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Improving financial products: The development of Bitcoin ETF funds and increasing participation of institutional investors are expected to create leaps in liquidity and credibility for the market. Stock issuance strategy and diversified capital mobilization Not only focusing on Bitcoin, Strategy also emphasizes building a flexible and solid financial system: Stock splits to expand investment audience: On August 7, 2024, both the company's Class A and Class B shares have been split 10-by-1, which reduces the initial investment cost for new investors. By the end of December of the same year, the company had issued 42.3 million Class A shares, netting $15.1 billion. Issuing additional shares in early 2025: With the issuance of an additional 6.5 million shares in January and February 2025, Strategy has raised $2.4 billion. Despite the aggressive issuances, the company retains the possibility of issuing Class A shares worth $4.3 billion in the future. CFO Andrew Kang is confident that "our capital raising plan is working extremely well" with total capital raised reaching $20 billion on top of a target of $42 billion. Innovative financial tools: In early 2025, Strategy launches its first offering of convertible preferred shares, raising $584 million from both institutional and individual investors. The company has also issued $3 billion in interest-free convertible bonds in November 2024, with a maturity of 2029 — allowing investors to convert into Strategy shares at a price of $672.40 per share, a price considered by many investors to be "a bargain" in the future. After deducting fees, from this bond issuance, Strategy has collected $ 2.97 billion.Breakthrough with Series A Perpetual Strike preferred stock: In January 2025, Strategy continues to introduce a new capital raising tool – this preferred stock is valued at $ 80 per share, earned $563.4 million after expenses. With an annual dividend of 8% and a priority payment of 100 USD in case of liquidation, this promises a stable and attractive source of capital for investors. Prospects for Bitcoin profits: From boom to sustainable growth In 2024, Strategy's Bitcoin profit reached an impressive level with the BTC Yield index reaching 74.3%. However, in order to pursue a sustainable growth strategy, the company has set a target of reducing it to 15% by 2025. This adjustment shows that Strategy is moving towards a more cautious investment path, balancing risks and profits in the context of the volatile cryptocurrency market. Conclusion With a bold strategy and a clear roadmap for 2025, Strategy is asserting its position not only as a software company but also as a major player in the Bitcoin market. From rebranding, increasing Bitcoin purchases, to innovative and flexible capital mobilization strategies, all demonstrate a long-term vision and determination to pursue pioneering financial technology. Michael Saylor and the entire Strategy team are preparing for a new journey full of challenges and opportunities, promising to continue to attract the attention of investors and professionals worldwide.
