Alongside it was his signature orange tracker chart. This is the same visual the company uses to show its ever-growing Bitcoin treasury.
According to a long-established pattern, the company generally reveals a new Bitcoin purchase the day after Saylor posts such posts. With this, it might be the 101st acquisition since the company began its treasury strategy in 2020, and the crypto community is now preparing for another major announcement.
Strategy Executed Major Bitcoin Purchase in February
Bitcoin has just completed one of its worst months in years. The leading cryptocurrency plunged around 24% in February 2026, which makes it the sharpest monthly drop since the 2022 crypto winter. This is the major drop of over 50% from the all-time high of around $126,000 reached in October 2025.
The selling pressure in the crypto market increased amid growing geopolitical tensions. Reports of U.S. and Israeli military actions against Iranian targets sparked weekend panic selling, which forced Bitcoin below $63,000 and wiped more than $128 billion from the crypto market cap.
The macro factors are also equally hostile, with former President Trump’s tariff threats against major trading partners, which sparked a risk-off sentiment across global markets.
Despite the chaos in the crypto market, Saylor’s company has not stopped. Strategy has bought the dip throughout February, where it bought thousands of Bitcoin across multiple purchases. The firm’s total holdings now stand at 717,722 BTC, acquired for a combined $54.56 billion at an average price of approximately $76,020 per coin.
These purchases came even as Bitcoin traded in the $63,000 to $70,000 range, which is well below the company’s own average cost basis. At current prices near $67,000, every single Bitcoin on Strategy’s balance sheet is technically down by roughly $9,000 per coin. Yet the buying never stopped.
Bitcoin is hovering near critical support levels around $62,700 to $64,000 after breaking key trendlines. Technical analysts warn of bearish pennants forming on daily charts, suggesting potential further downside toward $50,000 if macro risks intensify.
