Michael Saylor and his firm Strategy have reaffirmed their commitment to purchasing Bitcoin (BTC) on a quarterly schedule, maintaining a position of 714,644 coins worth tens of billions of dollars even as the cryptocurrency slid back below $70,000 this week.
What Happened: Strategy Reaffirms Quarterly Buys
According to public statements and company filings, Strategy will continue making Bitcoin purchases every quarter regardless of short-term price swings. The approach treats the cryptocurrency as a long-term reserve asset rather than a trading position.
The firm's 714,644-coin stockpile was assembled over years, funded in large part through debt instruments.
Strategy carries more than $8B in total debt, including notes created specifically to finance accumulation, though the company says it holds enough cash to cover ordinary obligations and dividend payments for a period measured in years.
Saylor's message was direct: selling is not on the table.

Why It Matters: Debt-Funded Concentration Risk
Some analysts have raised questions about the sustainability of a debt-financed accumulation model, particularly as Bitcoin increasingly trades like a high-beta asset that moves in lockstep with tech stocks during risk-on episodes rather than serving as a safe haven. Short-term traders remain uneasy while long-term holders appear unbothered, but price swings of this magnitude have already pushed shares of companies with large crypto exposure sharply lower.
For outside observers, the central question is whether steady, debt-backed accumulation becomes a strength if prices recover — or a vulnerability if volatility persists and credit conditions tighten.
