Saylor’s Strategy Resumes Bitcoin Accumulation Spree After Last Week’s Sale

After hinting on Sunday that the company he co-founded and spearheaded for years has resumed its BTC acquisitions, Michael Saylor made it official minutes ago, indicating that Strategy has purchased 1,550 BTC for just over $100 million (at an average price of $65,332). Its total stash has grown to 845,256 units, acquired at an average price of $75,680. Given bitcoin’s substantial crash to under $64,000 now, this means that the firm is still deep in the red on its position, with a current paper loss of over $10 billion, just north of the recent record of around $12.5 billion. Strategy has acquired 1,550 BTC for $101 million to increase our $BTC Reserve to ₿845,256. We have also increased our USD Reserve by $100 million to $1.0 billion. $MSTR $STRC https://t.co/1Zf1AVsP1H — Michael Saylor (@saylor) June 8, 2026 The company has also increased its USD reserve by $100 million, bringing it to $1 billion. Recall that Strategy disposed of a tiny portion of its BTC holdings last week for the first time since 2022, which increased scrutiny and led to some market-wide FUD. Numerous crypto analysts and commentators weighed in on the move, with many warning that if Strategy continues to sell, it could be detrimental to the cryptocurrency’s already fragile price. However, Michaël van de Poppe reassured that if it was a one-time sale and Strategy resumes its accumulation, this FUD narrative dies. Meanwhile, Saylor published a detailed post regarding how he sees bitcoin’s future. He believes the network and the digital asset will see four camps consisting of Maximalists, Capitalists, Technologists, and Fundamentalists, each opting for a different priority in how BTC should evolve.

European Blockchain Convention returns to Barcelona as institutional capital moves to the centre of the digital asset market

BitcoinWorld European Blockchain Convention returns to Barcelona as institutional capital moves to the centre of the digital asset market EBC12 convenes on 16–17 September 2026 — bringing together the decision-makers, allocators and infrastructure providers who are defining what comes next Barcelona, Spain — The question facing the digital asset industry is no longer one of legitimacy. After the approval of spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, the rollout of MiCA across the European Union, and growing allocations from asset managers and pension funds, institutions are in the market. The question now is one of execution — which platforms, counterparties and infrastructure will define the institutional layer of what comes next. It is in that context that the European Blockchain Convention (EBC) will return to Barcelona on 16–17 September 2026 for its 12th edition — bringing together over 6,000 attendees from 70+ countries across two days of market intelligence, meetings and commercial momentum. Join the 12th edition with institutions like BlackRock, Cardano, Bitwise, Baillie Gifford, WisdomTree, Hilbert Capital, Zodia Custody, Midchains, and Caisse des Depots among others. “EBC is built around a simple idea: when the right people are in the room, progress happens faster. In a market as fragmented as Europe’s digital asset landscape, that matters.” — Victoria Gago, Co-CEO, European Blockchain Convention INSTITUTIONS AT THE CENTRE — SINCE THE BEGINNING While the industry’s narrative around institutional adoption has accelerated sharply over the past 18 months, EBC’s focus on that audience predates the trend. From its first edition, EBC was designed not around retail participation or token launches, but around the decision-makers who control capital at scale: asset managers, banks, infrastructure providers, exchanges and the policymakers shaping the rules they operate under. Europe compounds the challenge. It is not one market — it is a region of parallel conversations, different regulatory timelines and different capital pools across London, Paris, Frankfurt, Zurich and Barcelona. EBC’s positioning as Europe’s Digital Asset Marketplace reflects a structural reality: the market needs a place where those conversations converge. Over 12 editions, it has become that place. EBC12: THE AGENDA The programme spans the issues that define institutional participation in digital assets today: regulatory convergence and market structure across major jurisdictions; capital allocation strategy from sovereign funds to private banks; the infrastructure required for institutional-grade operations; the rise of real-world asset tokenisation; stablecoin and CBDC dynamics as settlement infrastructure; and the role of AI in reshaping market intelligence and execution. “What makes EBC valuable is not scale for the sake of scale. It is the concentration of the right market participants in one place — decision-makers, operators, investors and infrastructure leaders — with enough relevance and intent to make the time count.” — Victoria Gago, Co-CEO, European Blockchain Convention ABOUT EBC The European Blockchain Convention (EBC) is the Europe’s Digital Asset Marketplace — the pan-European event where institutions, capital allocators, infrastructure providers and policymakers converge. Now in its 12th edition, EBC has established itself as the commercial centre of the European digital asset market.
