Michael Saylor’s 'BitVac' Post Rekindles Bets on MicroStrategy Bitcoin Buys

The social post has traders watching for fresh purchases even as the company pauses Bitcoin buys to repurchase convertible debt and fund future accumulation through share-based financing.

Overview

  • Michael Saylor posted “BitVac is charging” on X, a phrase that has previously preceded MicroStrategy disclosures and has renewed trader speculation about another corporate Bitcoin purchase though no new buy has been confirmed.
  • MicroStrategy currently reports roughly 843,700–843,800 Bitcoin in its treasury with an average acquisition price near $75,700 per coin and has reportedly added more than 171,000 BTC so far in 2026.
  • The company paused fresh Bitcoin purchases this week while it moved to repurchase about $1.5 billion of its 2029 convertible notes, a step the firm says improves its balance sheet and reduces future dilution risk for shareholders.
  • Recent buys have been funded largely by at-the-market common stock sales and sales of STRC perpetual preferred shares that carry a high yield, and those funding choices have raised investor questions about liquidity and long-term sustainability.
  • MicroStrategy’s scale of accumulation has sharpened its market influence and reshaped investor views of the firm from a software company to a leveraged Bitcoin holder, a shift that has weighed on the stock and could affect Bitcoin supply dynamics if the company opts to sell coins.
