Michael Saylor’s Strategy Says Bitcoin Purchases Don’t Move the Market
2 Mins Read
Strategy, the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, claims its buying activity does not influence Bitcoin prices, despite holding over 629,000 BTC worth approximately $70.85 billion.
Corporate treasurer Shirish Jajodia stated in an interview that the company manages its acquisitions strategically:
“The way we buy Bitcoin is we do not move the price of the Bitcoin… We manage our buys in a way that we are some proportion of the market liquidity.”
I sat down with @shirishjajodia, Strategy’s Corporate Treasurer & Head of Investor Relations, for an evergreen conversation on the company's $70B+ Bitcoin treasury, the digital transformation of IR, Michael @Saylor's bold Bitcoin price predictions and much more.
How Strategy Buys Bitcoin Without Moving the Price
To avoid slippage and price manipulation concerns, Strategy reportedly uses Over-the-Counter (OTC) desks and spreads purchases over time. Jajodia emphasized that the company buys “around the clock” — every day, every hour, every second — adjusting speed based on market conditions.
In November 2024, Strategy bought 55,000 BTC for $5.4 billion (avg. price $97,862). Weeks later, BTC hit a new ATH of $106,000.
On July 29, 2025, it purchased 21,021 BTC for $2.46 billion, yet the price fell 4% within four days, showing no guaranteed price impact.
Why This Matters for Bitcoin Investors
The company’s continuous accumulation reinforces a long-term bullish narrative, even when short-term price movements are mixed. Saylor’s stance remains clear:
“I only buy Bitcoin with money I can’t afford to lose,” he posted earlier this year.
Despite market volatility, Strategy appears committed to buying BTC regardless of price, signaling strong corporate confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term value.
