MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor suggested the company’s continued Bitcoin buying may precede future supply squeezes, arguing markets often react only after sustained accumulation tightens available supply.
Saylor indicated that corporate treasury purchases and ETF inflows are gradually removing Bitcoin from circulation, potentially creating upward pressure on prices that becomes visible only after a delay.
“There is a time delay between our purchase of Bitcoin and the surge in Bitcoin prices,”
Said MicroStrategy founder, Michael Saylor.
His remarks were posted on X and interpreted by market observers as another indication that MicroStrategy intends to keep adding Bitcoin through programmatic purchases funded partly through stock issuance.
Saylor has long argued that persistent institutional buying will eventually force a market repricing as circulating supply tightens, even if the effect is not immediately visible in spot prices.
MicroStrategy currently holds more than 700,000 Bitcoin, making it the largest corporate holder of the asset and positioning the company as one of the most influential institutional participants in the market.
The comments come as Bitcoin trades around $70,000 despite rising oil prices, equity market volatility, and geopolitical risks, which some analysts say highlights growing structural demand from institutional investors.
At the time of reporting, Bitcoin price was $70,270.99.
