MicroStrategy co-founder Michael Saylor recently excused the company’s continued appetite for buying Bitcoin. This announcement has coincided with rising global instability from the hot war spreading from Israel to Iran.
We’ve already seen Saylor tweet a Bitcoin chart, suggesting a MicroStrategy acquisition is coming as traditional financial markets prepare to open. According to SaylorTracker data, MicroStrategy has been on a Bitcoin buying streak from September 2024 through July 2025.
Michael Saylor’s announcement is further indication that investor confidence in Bitcoin has never been higher. It follows a week of positive momentum for Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), with five consecutive days of inflows. On that day, Bitcoin ETFs had a net inflow of more than $1.3 billion in new capital.
MicroStrategy holds over $20 billion in unrealized capital gains in fiat terms on its Bitcoin holdings. Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy has garnered much attention for its aggressive adoption of Bitcoin through regular, scheduled buys.
Since Israel’s attack on Iran, uncertainty about the conflict has injected instability into international financial markets. In particular, the Strait of Hormuz is a critical point for oil shipping routes. 20% of the world’s oil supply is still a huge part of the story in this region today.

This announcement and the broader, sustained investment in Bitcoin is happening as the geopolitical landscape remains murky at best. Iran's capital city is relevant to the context of the Israel-Iran conflict and Bitcoin's price.
