In his latest post, however, Executive Chairman Michael Saylor has investors betting the company may have broke that pause last week. Saylor wrote “A little more orange” above a chart of the firm’s holdings. He has used that format before purchase disclosures. MicroStrategy reports any Bitcoin buying every Monday. **Strategy’s Bitcoin Holdings Have Not Moved Since August** The company told the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on September 14 that it neither bought nor sold Bitcoin between September 8 and September 13. Its filing a week earlier reported the same for the previous seven days. Strategy held roughly 845,050 BTC as of September 13. It paid $63.73 billion for that stack, an average of $75,412 per coin. Its last purchase was 4,603 BTC for $369.7 million, disclosed on August 31. That deal ended a 10-week pause. BeInCrypto called the restart the day before it was announced, after a similar Saylor teaser. Cash is the constraint. Strategy spent $139.3 million buying back preferred shares in the week to September 13 rather than buying Bitcoin. That left $1.30 billion in the account it uses for purchases. The firm has also sold Bitcoin to support that share price this year. **Calacanis Called Bitcoin Boring and Saylor Answered Him** Angel investor Jason Calacanis started the argument on Friday. He posted a one-year chart showing Bitcoin down about 31% and wrote that the dead cat continues to bounce. A dead cat bounce is a short price recovery inside a bigger decline, named for the idea that even a dead cat bounces if it falls far enough. Calacanis said Bitcoin works poorly for payments and smart contracts and no longer excites the public. He compared it to compact discs in the streaming era. “Jason, you’ve watched Bitcoin grow since 2011. It’s now a $1.6 trillion success and the world’s most valuable digital asset. Digital Capital is the killer app. Preserving wealth across generations is a bigger ambition than entertaining a dinner party. The orange tie stays,” Saylor challenged. ARK Invest founder Cathie Wood equally rejected the dead cat label and pointed to her firm’s research on Bitcoin and artificial intelligence. By the strict market definition, Jason’s label does not fit, because a dead cat bounce is only confirmed when price rolls over and breaks the old low. Bitcoin price at $81,292 as of this writing is still above the roughly $75,000 dip it rebounded from. What he actually argued is a cultural verdict rather than a chart call, that Bitcoin stopped winning new use cases and settled into a boring store of value. That part is opinion, not something the price data can prove or disprove. ### Related Stocks - [STRF.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/STRF.US.md) - [MSTR.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSTR.US.md) - [STRC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/STRC.US.md) - [STRD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/STRD.US.md) - [STRK.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/STRK.US.md) - [GBTC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GBTC.US.md) - [IBIT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IBIT.US.md) - [BTCW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BTCW.US.md) - [MSTU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSTU.US.md) - [BTCO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BTCO.US.md) - [BRRR.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BRRR.US.md) - [HODL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/HODL.US.md) - [MSOO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSOO.US.md) - [MSTX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSTX.US.md) - [MSTZ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSTZ.US.md) - [SMST.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SMST.US.md) - [ARKB.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ARKB.US.md) - [BITB.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BITB.US.md) - [FBTC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/FBTC.US.md) - [MSTP.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSTP.US.md) - [WNTR.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/WNTR.US.md) - [MSTW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSTW.US.md) - [EZBC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/EZBC.US.md) - [MST.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MST.US.md) - [BITO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BITO.US.md) - [IMST.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IMST.US.md) - [MSDD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSDD.US.md) - [MSST.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSST.US.md) - [MSTY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSTY.US.md) - [MTYY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MTYY.US.md) - [03008.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/03008.HK.md) - [03042.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/03042.HK.md) - [03430.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/03430.HK.md) - [07799.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07799.HK.md) - [09399.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/09399.HK.md) - [BTCE.DE](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BTCE.DE.md) ## Related News & Research - [Michael Saylor Says, 'A Little More Orange': Will Strategy Report BTC Purchases After Hitting Pause for 3 Weeks?](https://longbridge.com/en/news/299601303.md) - [$320 million: Ruined by a single cache key](https://longbridge.com/en/news/299443247.md) - [Osmosis Took 74 Days To Discover A 40-BTC Nomic Exploit That Left Its Bitcoin-Backed Asset 36% Unbacked](https://longbridge.com/en/news/298903281.md) - [Stacks launches first institutional Bitcoin bond with staking program](https://longbridge.com/en/news/299529063.md) - [Farage-backed treasury firm Stack BTC plans expansion with $16M talks for Direct Bullion](https://longbridge.com/en/news/299073040.md) --- > **Disclaimer: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.**
