Bitcoin (BTC) proponent Michael Saylor has hinted the company he co-founded, Strategy (MSTR), may be set to announce an additional BTC purchase this week shortly after revealing it expects a net loss in the first quarter of the year over unrealized losses on its massive BTC holdings.

The company has added 80,785 BTC to its balance sheet since the beginning of the year after raising a total of $7.69 billion during the first quarter, with over half of that coming from common stock sales. Most, if not all, of those funds were used to buy bitcoin.

On Sunday, Saylor posted a BTC holdings tracker to X, a move that typically precedes a purchase announcement, commenting there are “no tariffs on orange dots.” The comment implies the company’s BTC purchases were unaffected by the reciprocal tariffs Donald Trump introduced earlier this month and the ensuing U.S.-China trade war.

The company paused its buying during the week ending April 6. Its crypto stash is currently worth roughly $44.59 billion, and was acquired for $35.63 billion.

Strategy currently holds 528,185 BTC bought at an average price of $67,458 according to Bitcointreasuries data equivalent to 2.515% of the cryptocurrency’s total supply.

A closely followed crypto analyst believes one meme token operating on Solana (SOL) is in the early stages of a market recovery.

Pseudonymous analyst Altcoin Sherpa tells his 243,800 followers on the social media platform X that he’s bullish on the memecoin Bonk (BONK).

The trader shares a chart suggesting that BONK will face resistance at the $0.000012 level before printing a bullish higher low setup and rallying to his target above $0.0000145.

“BONK is looking strong in the short term, and should go higher. Should be a pullback around the 200 EMA (exponential moving average) on the four-hour chart but still, I think this has pulled back enough to where any buying down here is probably reasonable.”

At time of writing, BONK is worth $0.00001376.

Turning to the low-cap altcoin Alchemist AI (ALCH), the analyst says the coin appears to be in an uptrend and that he’s waiting for potential dips to accumulate the asset.

ALCH is an artificial intelligence (AI)-based crypto project that allows users with no coding skills to generate codes by providing natural language descriptions.

Says Altcoin Sherpa,

“ALCH still seems like a really strong chart, don’t see it being mentioned much. I think it’s basically taken the place of ARC; a super volatile AI coin that moves 20% a day. Not in it but traded it a lot before; will look to buy dips.”

At time of writing, ALCH is the 431st-largest crypto asset by market cap, trading at $0.109.

Looking at Bitcoin, Altcoin Sherpa thinks that BTC will continue to consolidate within a large trading range in the short to mid-term.

“Expecting there is some sort of chop between $70,000-$90,000 over the next several weeks for BTC. Relative bottom probably in, but still some more consolidation to come.”

At time of writing, Bitcoin is trading for $85,366.

MicroStrategy is lacing up for a potential Bitcoin purchase after Michael Saylor flashed the tell-tale buy signal. The incoming purchase will be the company’s first in Q2 after pausing Bitcoin purchases at the start of April in an eyebrow-raising move.

Michael Saylor Flashes Bitcoin Buy Signal

MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor has dropped clues that the software company will continue its Bitcoin accumulation spree. In an X post, Saylor shared MicroStrategy’s portfolio tracker revealing the company’s Bitcoin holdings and valuations.

Michael Saylor’s previous posts sharing Microstrategy’s portfolio tracker over the weekend have resulted in purchases at the start of the week. Investors are lapping up Saylor’s portfolio tracker post and the accompanying caption as cues for a BTC purchase on Monday.

“No tariffs on Orange Dots,” said Saylor, taking a jibe at brewing tariff wars between the US and China.

MicroStrategy had previously halted its Bitcoin purchase spree at the start of April leading to a slump in MSTR price. At the time, there was significant chatter that MicroStrategy may be forced to offload its Bitcoin holdings to cover obligations following a dip in prices.

Per the portfolio tracker, MicroStrategy holds 528,185 BTC on its balance sheet valued at $44.7 billion. Michael Saylor hinting at a potential Bitcoin purchase follows a small dip in prices with BTC holding the $83K mark.

Will Bitcoin Price Rally?

Saylor’s hint at buying Bitcoin has triggered a small bump in prices as the top cryptocurrency surpassed $83K. However, an actual purchase will trigger a significant price action for BTC in line with previous accumulations.

MicroStrategy’s last Bitcoin purchase of 22,048 BTC jolted the markets in line with investors’ expectations. However, there are fears that macroeconomic events like the US-China tariff war may affect a potential BTC rally following MicroStrategy’s incoming purchase.

Bitcoin price has rebounded after a previous bloodbath, sparking fresh optimism in the markets. Crypto Joao Wedson predicts that Bitcoin is not out of the woods yet and a grim drop to $65K is still a possibility for the top cryptocurrency.

“We’re not ruling out the possibility of the price dipping below $65K, as several metrics point to that region as strong support – such as the True Market Mean Price and Alpha Price, both sitting exactly around $64,700,” said Wedson.

Crypto analyst Doctor Profit warns that a BTC price drop to these levels may force MicroStrategy to sell MSTR to avoid liquidation.
