Upcoming May 26, 2025 Announcement
According to multiple sources, including London Insider and blockchain.news, Michael Saylor is expected to announce another significant Bitcoin purchase on Monday, May 26, 2025. Here's what we know:
1️⃣ Announcement Method: The purchase will be announced via a press release and on Michael Saylor's X (formerly Twitter) account.🚀
2️⃣ Timing Considerations: Since May 26 is Memorial Day in the US, the SEC filing (Form 8-K) may be delayed until Tuesday, May 27, as the SEC will be closed.🎁
3️⃣ Market Impact: Historical data suggests that Strategy's Bitcoin purchases typically lead to a 3-5% price increase within 48 hours of the announcement.💰
While the exact amount of the upcoming purchase hasn't been disclosed, Strategy has substantial capital reserves for Bitcoin acquisitions:
• $20.79 billion in preferred stock capacity remains unused. ♻️
• $18.98 billion in authorized equity sits on the shelf.🪙
Their newly announced "42/42 Plan" aims to raise another $42 billion through 2027 for future Bitcoin purchases.
Strategy's Bitcoin Acquisition Approach
Strategy has been using multiple methods to fund its Bitcoin purchases:
(1) Common Stock (MSTR): The company has been selling shares through its at-the-market (ATM) offering program. The initial "21/21 Plan" for MSTR has been depleted and terminated.
(2) Preferred Stock (STRK and STRF): Strategy issues Series A preferred stock to raise capital. They recently announced plans to offer $2.1 billion in what Michael Saylor describes as "crown jewel" preferred stock.
(3) 42/42 Plan: A new initiative aiming to raise $42 billion (split evenly between equity and debt) to fund Bitcoin purchases through 2027.
Market Implications:
Bitcoin is currently trading at approximately $68,420 as of May 25, 2025, and analysts are watching for several potential impacts from Saylor's upcoming announcement:
• Technical Indicators: Bitcoin's Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 58 on the 4-hour chart, indicating room for upward momentum.
• Resistance Level: Key resistance at $69,000, last tested on May 24, 2025.
• Trading Volume: 24-hour trading volume for BTC/USD increased by 12% to $2.3 billion on Binance.
• MSTR Correlation: Strategy's stock maintains a strong 0.85 correlation with Bitcoin's price over the past 30 days.
Recent Challenges:
Despite the company's aggressive Bitcoin strategy, Strategy faces some challenges:
• A proposed class-action lawsuit was filed on May 16, 2025, claiming the company overstated the prospective profitability of its Bitcoin strategy.
• Strategy reported a $4.2 billion net loss in Q1 2025, driven by roughly $6 billion in unrealized losses on its Bitcoin holdings under new fair value accounting rules.
• Michael Saylor recently admitted that shareholders "would suffer" if Bitcoin's price fell for multiple years.
Conclusion:
Michael Saylor's consistent Bitcoin acquisition strategy has positioned Strategy as the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin globally. The upcoming May 26, 2025 announcement is expected to reveal yet another significant purchase, potentially driving short-term price volatility in the cryptocurrency market.
Investors and traders are closely watching this development, as Saylor's moves have historically served as a bullish signal for Bitcoin's price and broader market sentiment.
