Bitcoin is down over 4% in the past seven days, TradingView data shows. The digital asset recently reached a record high of about $112,000 before declining amid bearish market factors, including stalled US-China trade talks, Trump’s proposed steel tariff increases, and ETF outflows.

Over the weekend, Saylor hinted at buying the Bitcoin dip with a post showing Strategy’s Bitcoin portfolio on Sunday with the caption “Orange is my preferred color,” a move that typically precedes purchase announcements.

“We’ll keep buying Bitcoin,” Saylor said in an interview with CNBC at Bitcoin 2025 in Las Vegas. “We think it will get exponentially harder to buy Bitcoin, but we will work exponentially more efficiently to buy Bitcoin.”

More institutions are following Strategy’s approach to Bitcoin treasury holdings. Over 70 entities now hold Bitcoin on their balance sheets, including the newly established Tether-backed Twenty One, Trump Media, and GameStop.

The market has had mixed reactions despite the movement’s momentum. After announcing their Bitcoin strategies, Trump Media and GameStop shares declined 20% and 17%, respectively.

“These are short-term dynamics. Over the long term, Bitcoin on the balance sheet has proven to be extraordinarily popular,” Saylor told CNBC.

Strategy’s stock (MSTR), despite recent volatility, has gained over 27% year-to-date, outperforming much of the S&P 500, according to Yahoo Finance data.

MSTR was down slightly in pre-market trading on Monday.
