Michael Saylor, Strategy add $2B bitcoin

May 18, 2026 - 22:25

Scott Melker, host of "The Daily Wolf," broke down the latest major move from Michael Saylor and his company, Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy. The firm has announced another massive purchase, adding $2 billion worth of bitcoin to its already enormous corporate treasury. This latest acquisition reinforces Saylor's unwavering bet on the cryptocurrency as a primary store of value.

Melker noted that this purchase is not just a routine buy. It signals a deep conviction that bitcoin will continue to appreciate over the long term, despite the volatility that often shakes out smaller investors. Strategy has now spent tens of billions on bitcoin, making it the largest corporate holder of the digital asset by a wide margin. The company funds these purchases through a mix of cash on hand, debt offerings, and stock sales.

The move comes at a time when the broader crypto market is showing signs of renewed strength. While some analysts question the wisdom of putting so much corporate capital into a single asset, Saylor has consistently argued that bitcoin is the only asset worth holding as a hedge against inflation and fiat currency debasement. For now, the market appears to be rewarding the strategy, with MSTR shares often moving in tandem with bitcoin's price.
