Saylor points to deeper bank participation alongside pro‑Bitcoin signals from President Donald Trump as reasons for confidence.

Overview

  • - Strategy holds roughly 714,644 BTC at an average cost near $76,056 per coin, with the stash valued around $49 billion versus a roughly $42.8 billion market cap.
  • - Bitcoin’s market value has fallen about $1.2 trillion since October 2025, with the price hovering in the mid‑$60,000s after a peak near $126,000.
