Michael Saylor confirmed Strategy made no Bitcoin purchases this week, a notable pause for a firm that has bought in nearly every reporting period since its aggressive accumulation strategy began. A week without a buy is, as Saylor himself framed it, rarer than the halving.
The absence of buying doesn't signal a reversal in Strategy's long-term thesis, but it does remove a consistent source of demand that markets have come to price in. Traders watching the stock as a BTC proxy will note the gap.
