Strategy Pauses Bitcoin Buying After 13-Week Streak — Is the Market Shifting? – AirdropHunt

Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), the world’s largest corporate bitcoin holder, appears to have stopped buying BTC for the first time since late December — breaking a remarkable 13-week purchasing streak that accumulated over 90,000 bitcoin.

Key Facts

Strategy holds 762,099 BTC at an average cost of $75,694 per bitcoin
The company acquired 90,831 BTC over 13 consecutive weekly purchases since late December
Executive Chairman Michael Saylor typically posts an “Orange Dot” on X each Sunday to signal purchases — there was none this week
Instead, Saylor posted about the company’s perpetual preferred equity offering (STRC)
Strategy stock (MSTR) is trading approximately 76% below its all-time high
Bitcoin is currently trading below $67,000, well below Strategy’s average acquisition price
Bullish long positions on Bitfinex have hit a 28-month high — historically a contrary indicator that has preceded sell-offs

What This Means for You

Strategy’s buying pause is a significant signal for the broader crypto market. When the biggest corporate buyer steps back, it can reduce buying pressure and affect price momentum. For everyday investors, this is a reminder that even the most bullish institutional players adjust their strategy based on market conditions.

The fact that MSTR is trading 76% off its highs while bitcoin sits below Strategy’s own average cost basis ($75,694) shows that even well-capitalized institutions face unrealized losses. This doesn’t mean bitcoin is dead — but it does reinforce the importance of position sizing and risk management.

The record-high bullish bets on Bitfinex are worth watching: historically, extreme long positioning has preceded price corrections. If you’re considering adding to crypto positions, waiting for clearer signals may be prudent rather than following the crowd into crowded trades.
