Breaking: Saylor-Linked Strategy Buys 13,627 BTC worth 1.2 Billion USD — Implied 88,060 USD Entry and About 30 Days of Issuance
According to @WatcherGuru, Michael Saylor’s Strategy bought 13,627 BTC for 1.2 billion USD. Based on @WatcherGuru’s figures, the implied average entry is roughly 88,060 USD per BTC, calculated from 1.2 billion USD divided by 13,627 BTC.

Bitcoin (BTC) Sees $116M Corporate Buy to Start 2026, but Accumulation Isn’t Sole Priority: What Traders Should Watch
According to the source, a corporate buyer deployed $116 million into Bitcoin (BTC) to start 2026 while emphasizing that purchasing BTC is not its only priority this year (source). For traders, the source-backed evidence of continued corporate accumulation supports near-term spot demand, but the stated broader capital priorities suggest buy programs may be intermittent rather than constant, favoring tactical, range-focused strategies over assumptions of a persistent buywall (source). Any follow-on disclosures from the firm about timing or scope of additional purchases would be key catalysts for BTC volatility and liquidity conditions, per the source’s report (source). |
