Will Microstrategy announce a Bitcoin purchase July 7-13?
I think a Yes is unlikely. The latest official action was a BTC sale, and the new capital framework looks more focused on reserve management than on fresh accumulation, so I put the chance of a purchase announcement in this window at 9%.
Analysis
Strategy’s latest official disclosure on July 6, 2026 was not a purchase update but a sale update: it reported 3,588 BTC sold between June 29 and July 5 to fund preferred-stock dividends and rebuild the USD reserve. That is a meaningful break from the company’s prior weekly accumulation rhythm and is the strongest signal against a new buy announcement in this window. As of July 5, the company still held 843,775 BTC, so it remains massively exposed to bitcoin, but the most recent action clearly points to liquidity management rather than adding to the stack.
The market structure also argues against a near-term purchase. Bitcoin is around $64,000 while Strategy’s reported average BTC cost is roughly $75,500, and Strategy’s equity is trading well below the apparent value of its bitcoin holdings on a per-share basis. When the stock trades at a discount to the value of the bitcoin on the balance sheet, issuing more equity to buy more bitcoin becomes much less attractive. The June 29 capital-framework announcement also explicitly introduced a BTC monetization program, repurchase programs, and reserve rules, which suggests management is prioritizing balance-sheet flexibility over aggressive buying.
The main reason Yes is still not zero is behavioral. Michael Saylor has repeatedly used the orange-dot chart as a prelude to purchase announcements, and he reposted that chart on July 12, 2026. Strategy also has a long history of turning financing capacity into incremental BTC acquisitions, so a small opportunistic buy could still be announced before the window closes on July 13. Even so, the most recent official filing, the new capital framework, and the timing all favor No more than Yes, so this looks like a low-probability event rather than a genuine coin flip.
Arguments
For
- Michael Saylor posted the orange-dot bitcoin chart on July 12, and that has often preceded a purchase announcement.
- Strategy still has a very large bitcoin treasury and access to capital markets, so it could still choose to add more BTC quickly.
- The company has a long history of making purchase announcements on a recurring cadence, which keeps a surprise buy alive.
Against
- The most recent official bitcoin disclosure was a sale of 3,588 BTC, not a purchase, which is a strong negative signal.
- Strategy’s new capital framework emphasizes reserve management, dividends, and repurchases, which competes with fresh bitcoin accumulation.
- MSTR appears to trade at a discount to the value of its bitcoin holdings, making equity-funded buying less attractive.
Key drivers
- Whether Strategy wants to prioritize liquidity and preferred-stock obligations over adding bitcoin in the next few days.
- Whether Saylor’s July 12 chart post turns into a real acquisition announcement before the July 13 deadline.
- The relationship between MSTR’s market valuation and the value of Strategy’s existing bitcoin holdings.
- Whether the company uses the newly authorized financing and monetization tools for BTC purchases or for balance-sheet support.
Risk factors
- A small opportunistic purchase funded by existing cash or a preferred-stock issuance could still be announced unexpectedly.
- Saylor’s social-media signaling may look like a buy hint even when it is not one, creating false confidence either way.
- A late-day announcement on July 13 would still count, so the market can flip at the last moment.
- If bitcoin rallies sharply, management could decide to re-enter accumulation sooner than expected.
Scenarios
Best case
Strategy uses the July 12 chart post as a prelude to a small but formal bitcoin purchase announcement on July 13, showing that the recent sale was only a temporary liquidity move and not a change in long-term accumulation strategy.
Most likely
Strategy does not announce a new bitcoin purchase in the July 7-13 window, with the company leaving its latest disclosed action as the July 6 sale and the market resolving No.
Worst case
No bitcoin purchase is announced by the deadline, and Strategy continues using its new framework mainly for reserve support, preferred-stock obligations, and possible further monetization of bitcoin rather than buying more.

What will the average number of measles cases be during Trump's term?
AI72%MKT28%Edge+44Hidden GemI assess a 72% independent probability that the average annual number of US measles cases across 2025–2028 will meet or exceed ~3,000 per year (i.e., the 'Yes' outcome). This reflects the strong acceleration in 2026, weak policy response, and high-risk pockets that make a sustained multi-year elevated average more likely than not.

The data and policy environment point strongly against a sustained or one‑off 5%+ quarter, though low‑probability shocks could still produce a spike.
