MicroStrategy Eyes Bitcoin Rebound: Saylor Teases New Purchases Amid Dead Cat Bounce Debate
  • MicroStrategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor signaled renewed Bitcoin purchases after a two-week pause, hinting at a possible resumption of activity.

  • Bitcoin was trading near $81,300, well above the pre-rebound low around $75,000, complicating the assessment of a dead cat bounce from a technical standpoint.

  • As of mid-September, MicroStrategy owned about 845,050 BTC purchased at a total cost of roughly $63.73 billion, with an average price around $75,412 per coin.

  • In the week ending September 13, MicroStrategy allocated $139.3 million to buying back preferred shares, leaving about $1.30 billion in its dedicated BTC purchase fund.

  • The renewed activity sparked debate: angel investor Jason Calacanis labeled it a dead cat bounce, while ARK Invest founder Cathie Wood challenged that view based on her firm’s research.

  • MicroStrategy discloses Bitcoin purchases on Mondays, so the next filing will confirm any new activity.

  • Saylor posted an image captioned “A little more orange” on a chart of the firm’s Bitcoin holdings, a signaling cue tied to disclosures.

  • SEC filings showed no Bitcoin buying or selling between September 8 and September 13, and the prior week showed the same inactivity, indicating a lull.

  • The renewed focus on MicroStrategy’s activity occurs amid broader questions about whether Bitcoin’s rebound is sustainable or a dead cat bounce.

  • Investors and analysts are closely watching Monday filings and Saylor’s social posts for signs of resumed purchases.

  • The last confirmed purchase was 4,603 BTC for $369.7 million, disclosed August 31, ending a 10-week buying pause.
