Michael Saylor Signals More Bitcoin Buys as Prices Pull Back From Local Highs Above $73K

In Bitcoin News
April 13, 2026
  • Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor posted his trademark “Think bigger” chart and “Back to Work” signal on Sunday, patterns his followers associate with imminent Bitcoin purchases.
  • The firm already holds 766,970 BTC acquired for US$58.02 billion at an average cost of US$75,644 per coin, with bitcoin trading near US$70,635 — below the company’s cost basis.
  • Strategy’s most recent purchase on April 6 added 4,871 BTC for US$329.9 million, its 105th buy since 2020, even as Q1 unrealised losses reached roughly US$14.5 billion.

Michael Saylor has signalled a likely new Bitcoin purchase by Strategy after posting familiar acquisition cues on April 12, as Bitcoin (BTC) pulled back from above US$73K (AU$105K) to around US$70,635 (AU$102K).

The executive chairman shared a chart of the company’s historical buys with the caption “Think bigger,” followed by “Back to Work,” a phrase that has consistently preceded purchase announcements since Strategy began accumulating bitcoin in 2020. 

The timing places the signal during a market dip, with Bitcoin trading about US$5K (AU$7.25K) below the firm’s average acquisition cost of US$75,644 (AU$109.68K).

Buying Into Weakness

Strategy currently holds 766,970 BTC acquired for a total of US$58.02B (AU$84.13B), maintaining its position as the largest corporate bitcoin holder. 

At current prices, the holdings are valued near US$54.5B (AU$79.03B), leaving the company with an unrealised loss of approximately US$14.5B (AU$21.03B) for Q1 2026, though the gap has narrowed as prices recovered from earlier lows.

This follows Strategy’s April 6 purchase of 4,871 BTC for US$329.9M (AU$478.36 million) at an average price of US$67,718 (AU$98K), as Crypto News Australia reported.

That transaction marked the firm’s 105th bitcoin acquisition and came alongside Saylor’s assertion that the traditional four-year halving cycle no longer drives market behaviour. 

He instead framed Bitcoin as “digital capital,” arguing that institutional flows and credit conditions will shape its long-term trajectory, while warning that protocol-level changes driven by poor decision-making remain a key risk.

Strategy’s accumulation rate continues to exceed new supply. The company purchased 46,233 BTC in March alone, compared with roughly 16,200 BTC mined during the same period. This imbalance effectively absorbs newly issued Bitcoin while further concentrating supply within a single corporate entity.

The gap between Strategy and other corporate holders remains substantial. Twenty One Capital, the second-largest holder, controls 43,514 BTC, representing a small fraction of Strategy’s position.
