Strategy’s Bitcoin reserve stands at around $64.44 billion – and it hasn’t grown this week.
A break after 4 consecutive weeks
Michael Saylor, executive chairman of Strategy, confirmed on Sunday that the company made no Bitcoin purchases in the current week, ending a four-week buying period.
The announcement was made through its usual channel: the “Orange Dots” chart published on X, which tracks every purchase made by the company.
Followers have come to read the chart as a signal for further buying. This time, the message underneath told a different story: “No purchases this week.”
He didn’t leave it there. Saylor added that the company would resume purchasing the following week, writing simply: “Back to work next week.”

The scale of recent purchases had already diminished
The pause follows a notable slowdown in the size of Strategy’s acquisitions. According to reports, the company scooped up 3,273 BTC last Monday at an average price of $77,906 per coin, for a total of around $255 million.
This figure seems high on its own, but it represents a drop of almost 90% from the $2.54 billion purchase made on April 20.
Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings now stand at 818,334 BTC, acquired at an average cost of $75,537 per coin.

BTC price remains stable despite the news
Bitcoin did not react strongly to the announcement. On Sunday, BTC was trading at around $78,590, up around 0.28% on the day. The $78,000 level remained as a floor, with analysts pointing to $75,000 as the next significant support below this level.
Some analysts have noted that the next resistance above current prices is around $79,000. According to his readings, a breakout beyond this level could push Bitcoin into the $86,000-$88,000 range. Higher up, the $92,000 to $94,000 area would be the next high to watch.
For now, the market seems to be taking Saylor’s week off in stride. Strategy’s buying activity has become one of the most closely watched signals in the Bitcoin market, and the scale of the company’s holdings means that even a week’s absence attracts attention.
It remains to be seen whether next week will bring a return to large-scale accumulation – or another slight decline.
